Ordering corals and livestock online

[Tonii]

Good evening guys,

I have a Fluval M90 that has been running for a few months now. I would like to start buying some corals but the closest LFS is 3 hours away. Could you guys recommend any good online stores. I was looking at Liveaquaria.com but I was reading that since they were taken over by Petco their level of quality has decreased.

Thanks guys...

I still order from LA and it's been mostly fine. Their Divers Den is still the best online experience I've had. WYSIWYG is always the best online experience.

You might be able to find better deals on here. Not saying anything bad about LA.

I ordered a few SPS frags from unique corals and had a really good experience. I also order a couple pieces from aquasd when they were having one of their weekend sales on here and I was satisfied with them as well.

Members must have an established account 30 days or older and an account history that includes 25 posts prior to using our classifieds. Once you reach both ot the requirements, you will have access to R2R sales forum, but in the meantime, there is a great list of sponsors here. Some that stand out are: Vivid Coral, Unique Corals, AquaSD, Sexy Coral, Joe Knows Reefs....just to name a few

I've purchased during sales on R2R from: legendary corals, World Wide Corals & AquaSD...all great experiences.

For corals, I've had mostly good luck on ebay. Just make sure you read buyers feedback. Check for negative feedback etc etc. For fish, liveaquaria or vividaquariums. Thought about trying blue zoo aquatics since they had more rare collection. If your buying coral make sure to dip and get rid of the frag plugs that come with the coral. Otherwise, you'll get pests and STDs and things... Lol

KP Aquatic has a good rep for Caribbean fish and critters.

Vivid Aquariums, World wide corals, and Battle corals have all been top notch.
