Question

ECRC group coral/fish/supply order


AIGHT GUYS/GALS...........

lets get something in a "IN THE WORKS" type of thing here......

i figured that this would generate more interest than the VIVID BUY thread that i have started.............

IF ANYONE MIGHT BE INTERESTED...........let us know your prefered site

im wanting to get a site that has ALOT to choose from in SOFTIES,SPS,LPS and a nice selection of fish and supplies....since not everyone would want to order a coral but might need some cheap online supplies or might be looking for that LAST FISH ....


give us some info guys on what you would be interested in....AND REMEMBER......this isnt set in stone....this is just me RUFFLING YOUR FEATHERS and trying to get some ideas outa yall to what you might be interested in......

Saltwaterfish.com Would be the way to go! They have 19.95 overnight shipping and offer free shipping if you buy so much. Ive been considering ordering a few "rare" things from them.

I've ordered from saltwaterfish.com before, and even did an order with them just 6-8 weeks ago. However, I don't know how effective a group order from them would be, because their shipping is already so cheap. For only $20 overnight shipping, it's almost worth it to just order yourself from them and avoid the hassle of pick-up and getting money to people...

I'd rather have the group order be from a website with slightly lower prices and a shipping rate high enough to make the hassle of a group buy be worth it.

from saltwater the only thing that might be worth it is the inverts. They have a nice range of selection but there other quality .... You just run into many problems..... remember when saltwater fish had free shipping on $99 and up.

DJ I might be interested in something down the road but GUYS DON"T FORGET FOSTERS you will really want to have your money there. I'm trying to hold out till then unless I find just that one coral.

I found a "What's the best place to buy coral online?" thread on RC, and this was a good list that was posted. Any of these places look appealing to anyone?

As Aaron said, we've got the LARK DFS trip coming up in roughly five weeks. So, I'd rather hold off on an ECRC group coral buy until later on in the summer. But, if anybody wants to order now, I'm sure I have the $$ for one or two frags that I'd put on the order with anyone else.
