petsolutions.com, saltwaterfish.com & LFS
saltwaterfish.com was a good experience. Everything is still alive and kickin after 4 months. petsolutions, I just made an order to try them out. My LFS is hit or miss. I have bought a few corals that the staff incorrectly identified. Thank god for 3reef members helping me figure out what they were. | |

Only ordered a coral from zoafrags.com
I have traded with people on N-R.com a few times.
My LFS's get some awesome stuff 
Unfortunately if your LFS doesn't care too much about the hobby they don't bother to ID or know what things are. If you've ever seen an order list that a LFS gets...its crap. They usually are some random name that can and will apply to 3 corals :/ _________ 14g Oceanic Cube

Local pet shops as they afford me the luxury to see the livestock first hand. Plus maybe I can get some pertinent info as well such as where the livestock came from?, how long it has been at the pet shop? Husbandry and combatibility issues, and also I get price discounts from the many local pet shops! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
