Posted by waterpond on July 01 2007 post rating 90 (2 votes)      When i was starting out my reef i had a limited budget. Live rock sells for upwards of $10/lb here. Base rock is a cheap alternative. If you have live rock and add base rock then the live rock will seed the base rock, making the base rock live.
