Good place to buy corals

why aquacon? I was thinking about buying from them because they are in florida and I get $15 shipping or free on $100. They do seem a little steep on price though.

 

If you're in FL you need to check out Worldwide Corals. I love their stuff and they really know their corals.

 

I have been there like twice very nice people and beautiful corals but they were all too pricey for me at the time they have a bunch of large corals for sale and not to many small ones when I was there but I have been meaning to go back to look again =]

 

Try Reef A Holic on ebay- Jeff is simply great to deal with, always great orders. The best packaging I have ever seen and shipping is low- $29.00. for the first few items then I think a buck or so there after.

Tons or great stuff, Softies, LPS, SPS, Clams, ect.- you cant go wrong, and you really get what you see- it is well described, besides it is centrally located in KC.

For fish orders- Ocean Pro in Cali is pretty good, so is Dr. Foster/Smith.

Extreme corals isnt to bad either, but avoid mr coral- terrible representation of what you actually get.

Crammers Critters in FLa. Is not to bad either, but there is sometimes a lag in communications- ask for Dana, he is a diver and he can get you what you want if it indiginous to the Fla waters.

best of luck.

 

Thanks a lot! I will look at the ebay guy because I can get any fish I wan't through some places near me

 

lol oh i was stalking them, refresh refresh refresh waiting. lol actually recently i stopped the emails for divers den i feel they make me look when im not even thinking of looking and spend more.

 

They tend to sell you stuff that they don't have in stock, they have horrible customer service (don't answer emails or phone calls), they don't tell you it's not in stock but just take your money then give you "store credit" that you can only spend there for what you never got. There's also the issues of sending you something different than what you ordered (not what was pictured) and having a horrible livestock survival rate with "store credit" for DOAs and no credit for something that dies soon after arrival.

On top of that, most of their livestock photos are stolen from the internet without asking or giving proper photo credit.

 

ahh alright well i will be sure to stay away from them =] thanks for the advice.

 

No problem. I'd hate to see another "I got ripped off by Aquacon" thread on the internet, there are too many as is!

 

Jeff - Reef A Holic, on ebay has his stuff up right now- just ignore #13 clam, and the large red/green welso, the rest you can have but I will be in on a few of the acro's.
