Try the sponsors tab at the top of the page; they are all pretty reputable

I got mine from Dale at Gulf-view.com a couple years ago. It is Florida aquacultured rock and the amount of life I got off of it was unbelievable! The main difference in gulf rock and figi is that gulf rock is alot more dense than the figi. 35 lbs of gulf rock will look like 15-20 lbs of fiji. Fiji is much more poreous but typically has less life than gulf rock from what I understand. If I personally had it to do all over again I would have gotten several different kinds of rock rather than just 1 kind. Hope this helps. Reef on!

I got 200lbs of live rock in my 90gal. 120lbs of base rock from hirocks.com, really nice base rock for $170.00 for 120lbs. shipped.
I got 80lbs. of live rock from ebay that a guy was selling right in my area. ( search ebay live rock in your area, save a ton on shipping)
The live rock will seed the base rock in time and will all be live.
My lfs sells live rock for $7.99 a pound. I think, "there on the pipe"
