Live Rock
I have 2 questions on live rock, I have a 20 gallon tank, is it all right to put 15-20 pounds of live rock in to start cycling. Also does anyone know if petsmart or petco sell live rock?

I do not think petsmart or petco sell live rock, I would check with more a reef oriented local fish store or consider purchasing some online to save money. 20 or so pounds would be a good amount of live rock, and the live rock alone will cycle your tank.

I have your solution!
Hey, go to ebay, and type in "Walt Smith." You should see a listing that says live fiji rock. The seller should be Mr. Marine. THIS IS LEGIT! I just bought 50 lbs. of this rock, and it is awesome and super colorful! For 50 lbs, the price w/ shipping was 160.00, $3 per pound! Where else are you going to get it that cheap? Do it, Walt Smith, it was great stuff!

Many online vendors sell for around $3-4/lb. LiveAquaria, Premium Aquatics, ReeferMadness come to mind.
