Economical live rock rubble?

[PotatoPig]

My tank is set up with all dry rock seeded wit bottle bacteria but I’m interested in adding some live rock rubble for a bit of biodiversity.

The LFS has cultured live rock (they buy live rock from folks breaking down aquariums, clean it, sterilize it, cure it and then put basically dry rock in a giant tank of live rock for sale and let it get colonized there).

I can get rubble from that, but was hoping for actual stuff from the ocean, but looking about it seems this is gonna be a couple hundred dollars once minimum orders and shipping are factored in.

Any ideas of more economical options or is the cultured stuff at the LFS about the only way without shelling out a fair bit of cash?

/apologies if this is the wrong sub forum to post in, seemed to fit best here.

As above.They sell small packages of Live Rock or rubble, which are delivered by FedEx overnight. Biggest price will be overnight delivery.

Minimum orders on those are $247 and $195 respectively, before shipping costs. Which seems steep.

Ah - I was landing on the direct live rock rubble page with a 20lb min buy. This is perhaps more my speed. Thank you.
