    Honestly, I'm not sure if we're allowed to do that...

    So I'm really asking, can we give recommendations on online retail shops? And if so, please do :p

    I'm interested in fair pricing, of course, but really I'm asking about customer service experiences. Someplace 'trusted'

    Tangster. He is one of our sponsors. Very trustworthy. I just purchased a bunch of test kits, a denitrator and a skimmer. I have not heard a bad word about him. There are other sponsors on the site that sell different things. Some corals, some RODI units. Some of this, some of that. Just go under the 3reef sponsors. They are fair.

    I buy most of my dry goods at www.marinedepot.com, good prices(compared to others), fast shipping and great customer service. I have only one shopping exp. with Tangster and it was a pleasent one. Luna
