I've had really good experience with Blue Zoo Aquatics, their customer service was amazing. Haven't used many others for livestock.

Yeah!! All of our sponors are awesome! I'd recommend starting there, and then asking people if they've bought from them before!!

Personally, all the sponsors here at reef-geeks that I have purchased from have been amazing

Great quality livestock, pricing, and attention to detail.

I recommend "Wet Pets Hawaii" he has great service the fish are health and you can't beat the prices.

Wet Pets never followed through on an order for me, then never answered another e-mail or call. I guess other people have had good luck, but maybe only order stuff he for sure already has in stock.

hondaguy. Im with everyone else, click through our sponsors and see what they have. What kind of stuff are you looking for?

Would love t see your tank too. Feel like starting a thread and showing it off?

hondaguy · Newbie-Geek

ill get some pics up here sooner or later lol. its on of those tanks that is like 4 feet wide but really deep. i have some corals in it- few mushrooms and some zooanthids a carpet anemone and a clown with it, a few chromis, bout 100 puonds of live rock and about a 3 inch thick sandbed. but i want more color in it

it has an orbit powercompact/hailide over it and a euro reef skimmer in the sump. im gonna look at the sponsors and see what deals they have and i will let yall know when i order later tonight.

Ohhh I'd recommend some LPS corals too - Acans, Lobos, Favias - they are all quite colorful and would do well under your lighting

Barbara · Geekette

well HELLO there hondaguy! welcome to reef-geeks! ....if it's corals you're looking for, ALL of our livestock sponsors here are IMO the best around

check out their forums and see who's offering what sales too!

....if you're looking for fish, I think wet pets is great, and so is The most POPULAR marine fish at EVERYDAY LOWEST prices! ....though I always prefer to see the actual fish I buy, so I shop local for them

.....looking forward to seeing your set up!

That's very nice of them, some places are real A-holes when you ask them to delay shipping, even if it's because shipping is shut down in your area because of weather...
