What is the best site to buy livestock for reef aquarium

I have a neighborhood pet store that has a nice selection but pricey I was wondering if any of you guys can recommend an on line site where u guys buy corals for your reefs...thanks

 

LiveAquaria! Great site!

Live Aquaria is my favorite online site for fish and some corals. I also like World Wide Corals for SPS.

Live Aquaria is a little expensive, but well worth it. I've NEVER had an issue with them.

World Wide Corals is also a little on the expensive side, but great SPS!

 

livestock..... a LFS always has the advantage cause you can actually see the livestock before purchse as well as watch them eat. Most decent places if asked will even hold a fish for a couple days if you ask so if there are signs of trouble of lack of eating you know before you buy.

next to that I have have shopped online and there are only two places (for fish) that will get my money. liveaquaria and ibluewater. LA offers a 14 day guarentee that is just too good to pass up. ibluewater has super strict quarentine proceedures and sells only things that pass.

places to avoid:

aquacon: run a search here and on google as well as let the 160+ BBB complaints a year speak for them.

saltwaterfish.com: Thier customer service is so well versed they can read you what the livestock page says, thats about it. I have never had an order without something dead in it. If you do get a DOA they offer store credit but you have to spend $60 before you can use said credit (not counting S&H). My last order I had to call my CC company and threaten to report to the BBB for a refund cause a store credit to a place I will never shop with again does no good. Oh, and dont post any problems to thier forums, it will get deleted and you get banned.

 

Liveaqaria for sure! There quarantine process is amazing an if something does die, instant refund, no questions asked! Their certified corals have a 30 day guarantee! Saltcritters.com if ya wanna experiment with cheap $5 frags!

 

Thanks guys

 

Wow. Thanks for the info

 

I just got 10 frags of LPS/ zoas from saltcritters.com. Yes, their frags are small in comparison to other sites and they may not have the absolute best selection, but I got all of them in great condition. Oh, and BTW I paid only $118 shipped. Ridiculously good prices IMO, if you area willing to let things grow.
