    Best bet will be getting from bros decomming their tank.

    I believe getting from LFS will cost about $4/kg

    You can try LCK201. It should still be $3/kg, however, don't expect it to be as nice as those in other LFS or farms (lots of green unscrubbable algae and critters on some of the rocks)

    Live rocks are actually remains/skeletons of corals,whcih have been colonized by the bacteria and coralline algae.It's different from lava rocks as lava are usually inert whereas live rocks have the capability to buffer pH and allow colonisation of essential bacteria.

    You guys suddenly strikes me... I have used so called "lava rocks" in my freshwater tank and some are very light weight and some are alot more heavy, even if you compare the size of the rocks... Now i suspect i could have some live rock in my freshwater... Is that even possible ?
