Sounds very reasonably priced but I have concerns about buying live rock mail order. Mainly because you never know what you are getting until it arrives and with live rock - I'd say that its vital to inspect it to prevent any unwanted colonies of anenomes.

Rock from live aquaria should be fine, respected dealer.

That shouldnt be too much rock either. 2 pounds per gallon is fine even.

okay then i'll def order it..i wonder how much the shipping will be tho..neone no?

one more thing..i have no liverock in the tank right now and i jsut filled the tank up with water and mixed salt into it so wen/if i order the 45 pounds of liverock wud it be okay to put all of that rock in at once..i dont think its neccessary to clean the rock (cure it again) because i want the rock to cycle the tank well but wat do u guys think..and once again b4 i order it i want to figure out the shipping price of it..so if neone no's the price or cud find out for me id appreciate that...i dunno how to find the shipping price of it really, im just 13 hehe

Call them and give them your zip code and they should be happy to give you a quote.

Put the rock in when you get it but NO fish or inverts till the cycle is over.
