Hi everybody,
Just wanted to post a quick review/appreciation on Dr Reef's (@Dr. Reef) since I have ordered from them 3 or 4 times now! I've ordered everything from coral, to fish, to clean-up crew, and they have all come healthy (with the exception of a xenia which I've heard is just a bad shipper - this was refunded both times I ordered it).
I initially bought my livestock from Petco and just tried using the safety stop dips as my rapid quarantine to cut corners - and I quickly got hit with ich. After dealing with a hospital tank and my DT sitting fallow for 80+ days - do not put yourself through that - I cannot recommend buying from Dr Reef's enough . The slight premium you may pay over other, cheaper vendors is hands down worth it. Their prices are more than fair given their quarantining procedures and they put a ton of effort in to shipping livestock and making sure they arrive healthy.
If you're on the fence about online vendors, go with Dr Reefs, I am happy I did.
