Online?

Hey all,
Do many of you buy your corals online, and if so, if you have good experiences doing so? I'm wondering because I have noticed that my LFS charges almost TWICE as much on most corals than what I see online. And they dont even look that healthy! Like 80 bucks for bubble corals and clams... maybe Im just a n00b and thats normal but....yeah. Same story with shrimp...like 48 bucks for the cleaners. Fish seem about average.

 

i have bought fish online and they turned out great! i know saltwaterfish.com has free shipping right now... but ya goodluck! let us know what you end up getting and how it goes (with pictures) lol

 

We have some very trustworthy sponsers here at the 3reef who sell corals online you should check them out!!!!!

 

You can PM Tangster here, he runs Aquatic Art Technologies, Inc. and has some awsome corals.

 

I agree. All our sponsers have had great reviews and Tangster is one professional dude. I dont understand is typing sometimes, but dont hold that against him. I also have bought from www.reefgardener.com ask for Morgan, shes awesome. Tell her that Lunatik sent you. Good luck!

 

I always like to buy corals at LFS, as I can check them out carefully and always know exactly what I am adding to tank.

Of course a LFS is usually a bit more in price as it has a storefront to manage.

But I also have an interest in keeping him in business.

Luckily I have a good one, that is very conscientious about health of livestock.

Would recommend staying away from large product vendors and stick with a reputable online seller like those mentioned here.

They will take good care of you.

 

Thanks for the replies.
Im not going to be buying for a while because Im letting my tank cycle for a while, but Im still looking around trying to find out what the best COA will be when its time. Research is key!
