    Its awesome! Plus they have a 14 day guarantee which is great. If there's a problem, they refund the money ASAP. Bad thing is ya lose the shipping cost.

    I'd just save up for a big enough order, if something doesn't make it, no biggie. Always check the Divers Den first for the fish ya want, they have an awesome QT process that makes it worth a few more dollars. Although alot of times, DD is ALOT more dollars;)

    They arent ok, they are literally AMAZING, and unparallelled as far as shipping and retuen policy. There are plenty of other online vendors that are great at their own thing, just LA and DD have it all;)
    But for a cuc and odd inverts and algae, reefcleaners is hard to beat
    for cheap small frags saltcritters is tops
    AquaSD for primo stuff
    reefs2go is good

    and there are a TON of other sites with primo stuff, but ya seem like you're on a budget like most here, so stick to those guys, if not, check out a few other sponsors, there's some awesome stuff out there ready to be delivered to your front door;)

    take your time, saltwater fish should be added 1 or 2 at a time per every few weeks to allow the bio load to catch up,or get other precautions ready, wc's, prime etc

    Yeah, because some fish ya need to add in pairs or more or it wont work, for example, I believe ya wanna add 3 anthias, 2 females and male if possible.

    I'm reading up on these guys right now, and I'd prob skip on them for a year or so, till ya get your feet wet and realize the time required to keep high maintenace fish like these alive. i'm wondering if I wanna deal with it, lol.

    heres a good read on them;

    slatcritters crushes for cheap frags. YES THEY ARE SMALL. but they allow ya to learn for cheap, $5-10 a frag, and learn what your tank likes and doesnt before ya drop $70-200 for a coral. I love watching my teeny guys grow;)

    Same. In fact, I mush prefer that. Plus, I like supporting small businesses and tank raised coral.
