    I saw a youtube conversation where a few people answered a question about the price of live rock. They were fairly cheap compared to mine, so i thought i would start a thread.

    In wisconsin, i have only seen it for $9 per pound. and premium for 13. What's yours?

    wow and i thought i had high prices. i have 2 lfs (aquatics unlimited and pet world)... i have a petco and petsmart near those as well, but their fish always have ich and don't have anything as sophisticated as live rock, so i don't consider them actual fish stores.

    if anyone wants to check out aquatics unlimited they have a website:
    www.bestfish.com ... they are a pretty good store and are having their 40th year in business anniversary. last week they had 40% off marine fish and this week they have 40% off corals and inverts. me and norg are heading there in a bit, actually.

    5.00 for reg fiji....8.00 a pound for the premium. This premium is some of the best looking rock ive seen. worth every dollar.
