Figured I would post a quick update on my tank and ask about ordering online. As far as my tank everything is coming along great, my live rock is doing good, after tons of debating I got around 50/55lbs instead of doing less. My levels have been good also, I would like to get a better heater eventually. Mine works great but doesn't automatically turn on and off, so I constantly am adjusting the heat.

I have 2 hermit crabs working their way around the tank eating, don't mind my terrible aquascaping, hopefully I'll get better at it someday! Lol

As far as my question, does anyone order online? Anywhere with decent shipping prices? I only want a few shrimp at the moment and would hate to spend $10 on shrimp and pay $30 for shipping. I'll probably just end up taking another trip to the closest Aquarium/reef store by me to get some even though it's about a 90 mile trip :/

I have ordered all of my fish from Divers Den on live aquaria and fish all arrived alive and started eating quickly. I would recommend giving them a try. The shipping is pricey unless you are buying an expensive fish. $225.00 qualifies for free shipping.
 
Pretty much any online ordering of live creatures is going to have high shipping costs because the packages are shipped either overnight / 2nd day delivery. Best thing to do is find local reefers and do a group buy. Most companies offer free shipping once you hit a certain dollar amount.
