I don't know where you buying your live rock or what your paying for it but in my neck of the woods if you were to buy 70 lbs of live rock it would cost you
at the very least round about 350 bucks or $5 a LB. and that a conservative price I have seen it for 11.95 a LB. but i don't go there anymore!
If they were to buy 70 LBS of this rock even with shipping it would cost $1.78 a LB, no matter how you look at it that's one heck of a savings. Plus the extra added benefit of not getting a crap load of hitchhikers and algae that you don't want.
Me myself, I would buy 70 lbs and then pick up some live rock from elsewhere and use both cost one heck of allot less and it wold work just as well, just my opinion....
