Anybody have experience with liveaquaria.com?

I been thinking of order things from the diver's den because of availability and prices compared to LFS. And there aquaculture stuff looks really good and I like he deals they have on fish. So any input would be great

It's one of the few places that I'll order corals and fish from online. I like to see what I'm getting. I have purchased a few corals from there, I was generally happy, I guess. It's just so hard to take a true picture of most SPS. Fish from there; they can't be beat!

I have been buying from Liveaquaria for 8 years. If there is an issue ( and there eventually is with all distributors) they provide excellent customer service. I usually buy from WYSIWYG DiversDen.

I've only purchased cleaner crew from them, and my first order was fantastic with very few casualties. The last two orders over the last 18 months have been horrible. They were good about refunding my money lost, but you feel bad for the creatures that die along the way.

I've been pleased with my orders from them :)

Can you tell a little more about the orders that you weren't happy with? It's pretty odd for clean up crew to die in shipping. Heck, most ship with little to no water. I thought that would be pretty bullet proof.

Sounds good thanks for your guys inputs. I think I'll try ordering an LPS coral or and Invert.

My nephew orders from them and has been very happy with them, he recommended them to me...he's been reefing for about 10 years now. I trust his opinion!

I have had nothing but good experiences with Diver's Den, but I haven't ordered from the regular Live Aquaria site.

Divers den is exemplary, live aquaria is pretty good.

You're really not going to find a better recommendation.

I bought all kinds of fish, corals and cleaning crews and by far they are the best I found

NYAquatic is my favorite vendor but live aquaria is cool for the 14 day guarantee. As far as quality of livestock NYAquatic does take the cake though. Both are great choices.
