    I realize this is a loaded question and that there will be many varying opinions but is there any one preferred on-line vendor that stands above the rest in terms of service, price, quality, speed of shipping etc. for buying hardware and chemicals? Thanks

    MarineDepot is the "bomb" for me as far as dry goods and hardware. I dont buy "live-goods" on line.

    Custom Aquatic for me. With them in So Cal and me in Phoenix I have literally received normal shipments the very next day.

    Marine Depot and Drs Foster Smith for me. Mostly Marinedepot because it is at my door the next day. Can't be that..

    Also, Live Aquaria for live goods. Never had a problem with them, and the product is always quality..

    Thanks all for the good info!

    The_Fisherman - I see you are form NJ like me. What local retailers do you recommend? I'm in the northern part of the state.

    Thanks
