    alright, well, i've decided that i'm definately going to get a whole package.. just seems easier/cheaper to do that then to pick from here and there... so now i've got 6 sites to order from... reeftopia.com, garf.org, ipsf.com, liveaquaria.com, marinedepotlive.com, and saltwaterfish.com.. the 3 i'm REALLY looking at is the first 3.. garf is the cheapest, and ya get the grunge included, reeftopia has a good looking variety, plus if you request delivery on wednesday or thursday (or something like that), you have a choice between free cleaner shrimps, a coffee mug, or some corals... ipsf doesn't really give you any freebies, but their "reef tuneup" still looks pretty good...plus, they have free shipping! i'll write up another post of the specific packages i'm considering, and see which ones y'all think would be best for my situation...

    I look forward to seeing how this thread develops...

    I like all the same websites, except also liveaquaria. The only thing about IPSF is their marketing throws me off a bit. I searched this forum for "IPSF" and found a couple of threads... mainly: http://www.3reef.com/forums/inverts/ipsf-com-packages-33868-2.html?highlight=IPSF

    It seems like their clams aren't the best bet.

    I'll have to take a look around, but this is what I'm looking to get for my 90G reef:

    Cleaner Shrimp
    Peppermint Shrimp
    10x - Nassarius Snail
    10x - Nerite Snail
    25x - Cerith Snail
    1x - Serpent Starfish
    1x - Brittle Starfish
    2x - Mexican Dwarf Hermit and/or Red Lef Hermit
    2x - Emerald Crab
    2x - Diamond Goby

    well, hate to dissappoint ya drew, but the thread ain't really "developing"... apparently, i'm a 'tard for choosing the whole package... that being said, i got a reply from reeftopia, and their $99 package is for tanks 50 to 90 gallons, its got 36 astrea's, 10 scarlet hermit's, 12 bluelegs, 4 emerald crabs (might be a bit much for my 55, but we'll see what happens), 6 cerith, 6 nerite, and 2 star snails.... i don't know though.. GARF is still looking good at a dollar per invert (82 total)... plus, i could really use that grunge....but after adding the shipping, i'll pay about the same most likely... hmm...GARF package plus 1 or 2 emeralds... that should do it.. yeah.... for the moment, GARF it is!
