What sites would any of you recommend to buy live rock and live sand, something with good quality and not so expensive shipping.

I live in Laredo and the LFS here are way too pricey?

Thanks!!!

Depending on how many pounds you need I would make the drive to SA and pick what you want from local retailers. Prices vary from $2.99 to $4.99 and up. Richard and Mark at CB pets sometimes have cured liverock. I picked out a piece from Wolf Reef last week that takes up half of a 20 gal. tank and weighed only 11 pds. with discount I paid $35.

Remember any rock you get online is going to be uncured. It may be aseveral weeks before you can introduce fish to a tank with this rock because of the ammonia levels.

I have bought LR from two places on line then I discovered people selling it here. WWW.marinedepotlive.com and from www.liveaquaria.com both places were good looking rock. liveaquaria had reduce the price reqal cheap for my last buy. But look around there is always some for sale somewhere here.

I bought all mine from premium. It was their top of the line and it is awesome stuff! I would, and will, order from them again. Very cheap for how much I bought.
