I ordered from Reefing Art off Amazon. I just bought one but if I like it I will get more. They had good reviews so hopefully it will be good.
Mine have been delayed for over a week! :( Those look really nice. I saw a video of a guy using them for an acan garden. He glued them in places other than just the frag holes and made his own design. It looked great.

Orders here and it's still really warm inside the box. Everyone looks good from what I can tell I will post pictures tonight when I get them home.
Great news Amanda. Keep us posted
 
I'll join the crowd! My delayed coral shipment came in yesterday and everything was alive and beautiful! I can't believe the rainbow acans and acropora survived their night in NEW Orleans! I'll send pics when I get back home.

They must not have had the chargrilled oysters from Felix’s!!

Funny thing about Felix's. I live in Gulfport about an hour from NOLA. They just built a Felix's on the beach. Is the one in New Orleans any good? The seafood in this one tastes like it was cooked by a native Nebraskan.
 
This is what I’ll be working on. I got this recipe from a friend in Miami. We graduated a socialist communist high school in Cuba in 2014

before coming to the USA. I’m going to try my luck at a Cuban yellow rice dish.

When I go to NOLA and I want grillers, that’s where I have gone. I haven’t been in about 6+ years so I can’t say currently; however, they were better than Acme when I went. Lesser known but better, I’m sure that through expansion they lost some quality control.
