by me at least good LR is expensive...

i can get it as low as $5 a pound but it's basically crap..
the cheapest 'good' stuff is $8, but all that has is coralline, no orther algea or polyps or anything...
the GOOD shizz is like $10-11 a pound :( i hate my area...

Well what you should do is buy the cruddy rock or just completely dead rock and buy a little bit of the shizz rock and have it cure all of the crud rock into the shizz rock if you know what I'm saying.
 
I've been seeing a bunch of rimless 30 gallons at the fish stores, for about 30 bucks. I was angry I didn't have enough money, but I also don't have space...

Don't buy corals from the LFS's, go to reefcentral dot com and find someone local who is giving them away or sell you frags (pieces) for cheap.
