from what i could always find it works out in the $5-6 a pound range once it would ever get to your house so i think its better to just buy live rock when their is a good price to be found.
bulkreefsuply.com sells it but remember to add 35-40% onto the price for taxes and conversion

J&L used to have a few boxes of it it was to the left of the door just bye the glass case for the expensive stuff! It was $50 for 50 pounds so it is much cheaper than live rock but it is very dense so it doesn't do the same job. it is good for aquascaping though. I put 50#s in my tank.
If you pay $5-6 for base rock how much is your live rock. ours isn't even that much

I was at JL Aquatics in Burnaby yesturday trying to buy base rock too. They said that they are expecting a shipment of 18 boxes on Wednesday. However, she said to phone on Wednesday before coming out. Hope that helps.

OOPS I should have said.. Make some it is super easy. I made about 150#s
for about $30. It takes about 4 months to cure though. http://saltaquarium.about.com/gi/dyn...ementRock.html

the stuff from bulk reef supply is like $2.50 a pound then the shipping then the 12 or 13 cent taxes then the exchangerate and fees wich was 26% last time i ordered so it worked out around $6 per pound if i was gonna order it, live rock is usually 5.99 at the cheepest and usually 7.99 or 8.99/lb sometime 9.99 depending on the rock
ive bought caribsea reefrock before but its gone up in price plus shipping doubles its price so im not shure what it costs now but its real dense and you dont get a choice of the rocks you get it just like a surprise when you open the box, ive had boxes with 10 smaller rocks and ive had boxes with 3 rocks in it
