Aquadome has some gorgeous tonga branch for $7.99/lb.

So, is this a good price or should I keep looking? They had some beautiful large pieces with lots of coraline plus! I found one 6 lb piece I really liked. Not real sure it would go over super well that I bought 1 $50 rock! :P Haven't done it yet, but am really thinking about it.

I've never seen it quite that cheap, but I have seen it for $5.99 a pound.

Did they have large pieces? Are there still some there? I'm wanting a large piece or two and then some smaller pieces for the rest.

Is there any tonga branch base rock somewhere?

Not too sure if CB still has any, I saw it @ that price about 2 months ago, maybe less. Best bet is to call them and see. HTH

The Dome is a fair price considering that all live rock is sold in ATX for $8 a lb and up. Some base is $4 but never less. Join the Dome buyers club for discounts. They really do add up. I tallied it up and have saved $480 in one year for $25.
