Hi,
Most of online LR vendors I see sell in 25-30-50lbs boxes, I'd like to
diversify a rocks a bit, for example: 20lbs fiji, 15 tonga, 10 something
else, etc..... Even base rock, I definitely do not need 50lbs for my 55G
tank :) I'd go to LFS, but they sell only fiji for $8/lbs -
RIDICULOUS!!!!! so LFS aside, are there online vendors that would sell LR in
"odd" quantities.
Another thing, I'd like to get LR from at least 4 different vendors.
Theoretically, I can get more diverse life forms by getting LR from
different "buckets" :)
Thanks in advance :-)

Nope, you need 55lbs of LR for a 55g tank.
1lb per gallon for a good bio filter.
Make friends with your lfs and get your hands on the best pieces when they
come in :)

Actually you need 2 to 2.5lb rock per gallon can go as high as 3.5 times but
not recommended to exceed that.
not pound for pound but hey every one has an opinion
PS: I am just getting rid of my 350 gallon tank your welcome to buy any
quantity you like.
