The weight issue is a bonus buying dry, not paying a bunch of green for water. Lance would you care to guess the difference in volume of LR versus the dry stuff? Would there be 50% more volume in the dry?

To answer your question I weighed a piece of live rock from the QT tank (It was 4 lbs) 4 lbs in the dry rock was probably a little less than 1.5 x the size. The live rock was a pretty lousy piece though, not very porous at all.
