    Liveaquaria/Etropicals/Dr. Fosters and Smith, Fish.com, marineland.com, marineandreef.com, have all been good so far. Don't forget EBAY.

    Fish.com doesn't always have the brand selection, but their prices are great and they offer 150% price protection to beat any online customers price for the same product - which can save you $$ by shopping around and have them price-match and beat the cheapest deal in town. (Check Amazon.com or google or yahoo shopping for the product you want and lowest price).

    Dr.Foster and Smith - best tech advice and customer service. Sometimes have great sales and are always running a sale on something all the time.

    Marineandreef.com - Best selection - They have awsome prices and just about everything in every brand you can imagine. The website interface is kind of rough, but not as bad as DOS.

    I also got some GREAT prices on Hydor Koralia powerheads from mtndewman1 (Marks Place of Pet Stuff) on EBAY. I paid and he shipped same day. Got the powerheads in 2 days.

    I've never bought live fish or coral on-line, so I can't comment on that, just supplies and accessories

    Dr. Foster & Smith would be my 1st choice since this has been the first time that I had to make purchases on line, their live acuaria is pretty good quality, but Im sure there is others
