rock shopping

i purchased my rock /60lbs live/40lbsgood looking base from big als in newmarket ontario , the live rock was 10.99 lb and the base rock 6.99lb. It was a little more than i wanted to spend but it's only money right. Also it looks alot better than lava.

That was my thought as well. Pretty much all the suppliers I have looked at are between $2.50 and 3.50/lb.
