ATTN Online Shoppers :)


Hiya! Been lurking around here for some time and finally decided to make my first post! I'm brand new to the reef world, but am starting up my own 30g....My first tank ever!

I'm an avid online shopper, but have no idea what the reputable sites are for the reef world. Anyone have any suggetions? Past experiences you would like to share? Good and bad experiences welcomed!

I'm looking for sites for livestock, equipment, supplies, the whole nine yards! So IYO, what are the best/worst sites?

Thx in advance for your time!

Check out our sponsors. They don't make the list if they're not reputable!

Marine Depot and www.saltwaterfish.com have been impeccable in both quality and service.

Marine Depot will also help you out with everything technically in addition to the fine folks here. I call them now when placing an order to make sure that I am not doing something goofy.

you want the BEST skimmer for your $$?


http://www.myreefcreations.com

I'd say MRC's skimmers are one of the TOP 3 skimmers you can buy!! And the other two costs LOADS more!

Just got one...and the thing is AWESOME!!!
