Well I always check out Craigslist for my LR. You have to make sure that they didn't treat any Copper tho with the LR in teh tank but I can find LR on there for around $3 a pound.

Just be sure to quarantine it to get rid of bad hitchhikers. It's full of life, both good and bad.

i buy mine from marcorocks.com just get the dry stuff and let it cycle in your tank unless you already have animals in the tank then setup a small tank and let it cycle there. it is like $100 for about a 50lbs. box with shipping.

Might want to check if there is a local reef club in your area. It would be a great resource for you on many levels.
