Buying Online

anotherpassion · Sep 17, 2014

I'd appreciate receiving advise on buying online. Looking for equipment and accessories. Whenever I google for equipment, Amazon pops up, and I'd prefer to deal directly with the online retailer.

I get most of my stuff through Bulk Reef Supply; IMO they're the best!

Ya, I like Bulk reef supply as well. Reef12 listed great ones as well

Amazon is one of the best especially if you are a Prime account, free 2 day shipping. I have no issues either on couple of my returns.

amazon has been completely awesome to deal with in terms of customer service ime. The places that reef12 listed are reputable.

I also get getting some stuff from DFs : Fish Supplies: Fish Tank & Fish Care | DrsFosterSmith.com.
Free shipping over $49 and they're close so shipping is only a day or two.

Been buying from Premium Aquatics, Aquarium Specialty, and Bulk Reef Supply for years. Always great customer service from all of them. Watch for sales around holidays and such, you can usually get 10% off or more. A lot of them will price match too if you ask them.

I have used Fragtastic Reef for supplies and equipment. I got my AI hydra from them and some zoa frags. Great customer service

I buy everything from Fragtastic Reef since I started this hobby. Very knowledgable personal, won't sell you anything you don't need just to make a buck. I have never done an online order because FedEx/ UPs can't find my house.

Garrett is the best! I live in the middle of now where but my address they can find.

For corals it depends on what you are looking for.

I'm following this thread as well. I have been mainly buying my Salt, filters, test kits, food, etc from LFS but they are insane expensive. I, too, am looking for an alternative. Especially for the salt. with frequent water changes, I go through allot of it and the LFS wants way too much.
