You can buy the aqua cultured live rock from ecoliverock. I use it and is happy with it. Costs around 4lb/pound with free shipping (but you have to buy min of 20 pounds).

Yah that would be even better since there cycle will most probably take a day or two (or maybe no cycle at all).

Buying live rock from someone that is shutting down is pretty risky IMO. Especially with a new person not knowing what type of things to look out for. Paying $160 at the lfs vs. $50 gives you some decent extra money to spend, and can make a difference with a skimmer for a small system. He said he wanted to watch his spending so just throwing in my 2 cents.

I used all dry rock and I am happy with a pest free tank.

Aqua cultured ones are pest free too.
