sites to buy live rock???
I currently have a 56 gallon FOWLR aquarium with about 35 lbs of live rock. Livestock consits of three blue/green chromis, two 4 striped damsels, one yellow tail damsel, and one purple dottyback. I was wanting to add some more live rock to the tank but the places around where I live that sell live rock do not have the best selection. Can anyone tell me a good, reputable website to order live rock from? Thanks

Tampa bay saltwater is a very popular one. Bulk reef supply, reef saver rock is another popular choice.

If you already have live, you could also use some base or dry rock as well, its often much, much cheaper than live rock. You can get rock like this from Marco's rocks
Also, check craigslist, there are often tanks being torn down |

I would just go for local dry rock also. It will be seeded quickly enough, and that way, if it is not the shape you want when you get it, you can use a hammer and chisel to make it just the way you want.
