    Ok, so I found this great site....well, maybe it's not...

    you tell me if this is a good place to buy live rock, just don't buy it all before i get some XD

    also, if I buy like one pound, do you think it will be enough to see my whole tank? or should I get more... I want to keep it under fifteen, so I COULd get up to 2 pounds and keep it under 15.....

    Fiji Live Rock - 1 lb

    Something is 'fishy" I think. They probably make it up in shipping costs added.

    Depends on how its shipped.
    To save some cash,get about half your target poundage in dry base rock,then do the other half in live rock.

    I could send you a pound or less, that would get you going. I cant see the shipping costing too much, unless you want it overnight or something.
