    I've used Live Aquaria's Diver's Den and Triton's Garden. I've had great success with both for fish. I've used Diver's Den, Reef Empire and Reef Pets for coral. All have been great.

    I've also heard that Vivid Aquariums and Reef HotSpot are good.

    I don't think a ranking system will overally that effective, it's really subjective. I like vividaquariums, I've ordered from them several times and like them a lot.

    I agree. It is easier to just name the good places to shop.

    I think there are better options than LA. There are online stores most people didnt even know of until recently that offer better stuff at better prices then LA. It also depends on what you are looking for.

    I suggest RE and Reef Pets ebay auctions, vividaquariums, and pretty much all of the sponsors on 3reef. Each one has their own specialty.
