SPS & Clams who sell the best bang for the buck?
I am tentatively thinking that it may be time to order some coral, specifically SPS and Clams. Suggestions on who sells the best bang for the buck? 
Of course I want to stay away from venders who do not stand behind their livestock, have disease, …

TCMAS has a frag swap this Sunday. I bet you will find SPS there. You can check out liveaquaria.com. They don't have the best price but exceptional customer service. That is the most important point for online order, especially with clams which have high loss rate. |

Dirk has a few small clams, could even have some SPS.
Max had some very nice Lg corals he was selling.
Do you trust EWOF?....we can ask them to bring in a few calms for the meeting. Even see if they will give a special price  .
How is the SPS you got from me, that I got from them?
They can bring more of the small corals in also.
Just a thought.
If we can get a $1000.00 order together, we can have a direct LA shipment....but no guarantees.

I am a fan of things coming to me  but I really should consider TCMAS for good SPS. There is a lot more of it up there than down here. A good idea to think about.
David, $1000 is too rich for my blood unless you can get at least 9 other people involved. I asked Dirk about his wetstock and he pretty much told me to come look when he hosted the TCMAS meeting this fall. The little acro you traded with me is doing well. I attached a picture of what it looks like with a flash (MH is off for the night) |

they only have 2 swaps a year.
next meeting is the 11th, people bring things to all the meetings if you ask.
I get back on the 10th, so I still hope to go on the 11th.
id go to www.tcmas.org and look at FS/FT SPS.
