    I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I didnt turn up much in the search so I'll ask again ;D Where is the cheapest place online to buy live/dry rock? I cant grasp the 300% markup in the local shops for raggedy looking live rock. Nobody around here even carries dry rock so its junk live rock for $10 a pound or nothing. Anyway where are the good (by good I mean cheap) places to order this stuff?

    I have shopped with bulkreefsupply in the past & really like there rock. The pukani is awesome but on the high priced side. I have thier eco & base in my tank now.

    john over at reefcleaners has rock that gets really good reviews. I recommend him based on his quality CuC's. With his repuation for that I can see his rock being just as great.

    Marcorocks got some pretty good looking rocks as well. I been eyeing one of thier sand/rock combo's for my new tank. Intiial plan was to go reefcleaners but I read in another thread he is having some sand supplier issues so this is going to be my backup plan.

    I got some rock from Reefcleaners when I set originally set up and I can vouch for it. It is great stuff. And he worked with me to get me the kind of pieces that I was looking for and the price was very reasonable.

    I've ordered reef saver from BRS and loved it. I'll be ordering from reef cleaners next just to try that rock. Looks almost identical from pictures and my experience ordering my cuc was probably my best online purchase to date.
