Are you searching for dry "base" rock?

i like www.floridaliverocks.com, the premium coraline is awesome, and only $2.99 lb. not dry though, if that is what you are looking for!

I went with www.oceanproaquatics.com. They have some cultured base rock for around $1.00 lb.

One thing I found when getting this: In some cases its usefull to check the UPS website to see how long ground shipping will take. In my case I found that ground shipping was guarenteed to arrive on the same day that second day air would have, with a $30 difference between the two shipping prices. Unfortuanately, ground shipping from Ocean Pro Aquatics in CA to NY will take longer then you want, but you if you find someone with good deals on the east coast, then you might find that you can get away with groud shipping.

I bought some Hirocks a few months back, and now it is hard to tell which pieces they were.
If you want cheap, dry, base rock, the two mentioned above are good choices.

Saltwater Paradise in Tonawanda (near Buffalo) usually has three 180 gallon tanks full of live rock in various stages of curing, he will generally deal for large amounts. Got a piece of Kaelini rock the other day.
