How expensive?

Great info guys, thanks.

I agree that if your going for a pure SPS tank it is probably best to go with well cured live rock but personally I want all the potentially destructive life.

Howdy and Untamed, thanks for the info on bringing it into Canada and for the cites stuff. I have a good month and a half before I need it, so I will try to get the cites taken care of before I order it.

The Red coral rock did look good and I am tempted to just go get that because its easier but that Florida aquacultured is just amazing rock and I think I am willing to go through the pain of getting it. It’s going to involve some very careful timing but I think I can do it.

Thanks again for all the help everyone.

Jon

I found this at the CITES web page. Hope this helps. Scroll down to the last FAQ on the page. http://www.cites.ec.gc.ca/eng/sct9/index_e.cfm#11

According to the last sentence of the second paragraph it states that ""live rock" is not regulated by CITES, unless organisms from CITES-listed species are attached to the substrate". So basically it is stating that you can import live rock into Canada without a CITES permit.
