one of my lfs (i have 3) always has heaps of coral
the coral tanks are:
(im estimating size)
2-10'long by 3' wide tanks
and 2-4'long by 2' wide tanks
with different sorts of colourful coral on the bottom
they also nearly always have awesome fish and always have a puffer
the usual price for quality live rock for
$14 a kg AU
which is like
$4.80 a pound US
am i lucky

I have a great store next to me. Its called Saltwatercity. Live rock is $4 /lb, base rock is $2 /lb (but the owner sold it to me for $1 /lb. Corals are priced good and the owner doesn't sell anything that looks or is sick. All the fish are kept in great tanks and cared for. The fish and invertebrates are priced great.The prices are much lower than retail value. All the tanks are connected to a huge filtration system which consists of many large tanks connected which has various types of media in them and a built in acclimation system.

For anyone who lives in Brooklyn, NY (or close by)
you can pm me for the address if you want to check out the store.
