Websites for corals and fish

[Redbird5]

What are some good websites to buy from?
I've bought from Biota, corals.com, and dr quarantine fish. I've seen a nice mushroom at tidal garden and I browsed queen city coral. Are there other places to visit?

Loved my stuff from QCC and tidal gardens. Both sent quality corals and were easy to work with.

I like having guarantees on my fish and coral, which none of my LFS have, but shipping is insane.

I've not been disappointed with QCC or TG. QCC is the only place I know if that has $15 wysiwyg frags. They're great if you want to try a few pieces to see how they do in your tank.

The 3 pieces in front were $15 frags drom QCC

I will second Tidal Gardens. Also, I recently won a torch from an Underwater Archives auction. It's a quality piece. I dipped it upon receipt, first in KCl solution and then H₂O₂ solution. Hardly anything visible came off in either dip. Very clean and healthy-looking. Polyps came right out. That was just a month ago, but it still looks great.

I don't know of any LFS that gives a guarantee, I have 4. I'm surprised any vendors do TBH. Too many variables they can't control once the item leaves their hands. Your tank could be a mess and the deaths your fault and they have no way of knowing. I think Dr. Reef sells insurance which is nice but I see it and extra shipping insurance as a cash grab but that just me.

I agree with Tidal Gardens, who has excellent pieces and great packaging. And, Queen City Corals, who has WYSIWYG pieces starting at $15, they run sales a lot and send 10% off coupons a lot if you sign up for their mail list.

Yeah that’s the only drawback, shipping is at least $40-60 usually

I personally like aqua vault as they run auctions and have great corals, but lately there has been more bidding on it so the corals are more expensive that what they used to be

This is usually what I tell people! There’s too many people I can recommend, haha
