    Anyone in need of something for their tank? (when are you not? lol)

    Buying the items together can save on shipping costs and sometimes make shipping free! Post here the website you want to buy your stuff from and what kind of stuff you had in mind to buy (just in case someone already has something similar for sale used). Also, your general location to arrange picking up your items!

    Idk if we have enough FARTS members for this yet but I think It would be a cool idea.

    I'm currently in the process of making a new sump for which I have to buy some rock and refugium critters for and I am going to buy from reefcleaners.org. I'm in 33175 if anyone's interested in a group buy in the near future. :) We can arrange to meet up Half-way if anyone is kinda far...

    I'm working on gathering the supplies needed for a 90 gallon reef. I worked out a trade. My ball python snake morphs for a Marineland 90 gallon tank w/ built in overflow & pluming + some live sand when I need it.

    Looking for either a wet/dry or custom sump w/ fuge. Also looking at the 48" 4 x 54W AquaticLife T5 HO Light Fixture w/ 4 Lunar LED'S. I know someone here in South Florida as well who works for a well know LFS. I may be able to work out some kind of bulk discount. PM me.

    I knew about reefcleaners but not reefs2go. Thanks NR (if I may call you that.... lol)

    Just out of curiosity, What did you order from Reefs2go? I'm thinking about getting some inverts and possibly a fish or two but am weary about them being D.O.A.

    I've bought from reefs2go a few times now and everything's been healthy, except for some gracilaria that died and they gave me a refund for that.

    Ever buy the 'pods or a blood shrimp? lol

    They have them cheap and I don't see that they have the "Arrive Alive & Stay Alive 14 Day Guarantee" that the fish do.

    Should I have any doubts before I buy? :-/
