need live rock


Hi all. I'm in need of about 10-15 lbs of good live rock. Only problem is I'm in the far southeast corner of AZ and not sure whether or not it would be worth it to drive the 3-5 hours to Tucson or Phoenix to get it or if I should just order online (and if I ordered online, where the best place would be). I of course want to find a good medium between cost effective and excellent quality. I guess my questions really are:

1) is there even a place to get live rock in the Tucson area at all and is it good quality?

2) Where are the best places for live rock in the Phoenix area?

3) I'm sure I would get it alot faster if I just drove to Phoenix (5 hours) to get it than if I ordered online so the rock would be in better shape. Would the savings in shipping be worth the cost of gas for that trip?

any help would be MOST appreciated. Thanks.

I ended up going to Southwest Saltwater in Tucson to get my live rock. They've got a pretty good setup there. Lots of inventory and good pricing. Picked out some great rock that is working out perfect in my 10 gallon nano. Would definately recommend this store to anyone in the area. They're opening a new location shortly with a new website and online ordering and shipping availability soon as well.
