    Everyone mentioned my places but i'll expand to say what I buy from where and why:

    Bulk Reef Supply: great prices on stuff that is no-frills needed. E.g...does Alk buffer really need to have spiffy labeling and packaging? I get all my Ca/Mg/Alk/Carbon/GFO/filter bags from them and save tons of $$

    Vivid Aquariums: I've done at least a dozen group buys for our local club through them and we are always impressed. Service is great and when they say you are getting 10-12 polyps of zoas, we usually get 20". 1" of SPS = 2"+ to them. Fish have a 15 day guarantee so that's tough to beat.

    AquaCave: I get my Zeovit stuff from them.

    MarineDepot: Good for hard to find stuff and when you have to buy name brand items like skimmers, SeaChem test kits, etc.

    Reefs2Go: Great CUC's from there. Crazy sales too so you get a lot for your money.

    my favorite online vendor for getting supplies is www.bigalsonline.com they ship to me soooo fast (I'm in the northeast) and you get 10% off with code 3REEF and they always have great prices. If you see it anywhere cheaper they will match it via phone.

    I also dealt with www.reefgeek.com for lighting, they were awesome.
