Hi I also got a order from ETropicals. I was very pleased with mine also, I spent around $93.00. I will order from them again!

Good price....That includes shipping, right?

Reefnut · 03-22-2002, 10:52 PM

Yes it did include the shipping.

organicreefer · 03-23-2002, 10:25 AM

golfish,yes thats the total...very good price imo.
im seriously considering one of their coral packages now

Elmo18 · 03-24-2002, 04:12 PM

That is pretty good

.

I should try them out when I'm ready. Two tanks almost setup. Anyone know where I can get sargassum seaweed for my seahorse tank?? I've never seen them for sale anywhere??

Thanks again,
and I'm liking what you said about Etropicz.

Elmo, do you want the floating kind or the sessile kind?

I can't get you any sessile kind, but in June or July, I"ll be going to the coast to dive and a bunch of the floating kind usually makes it over from the atlantic around that time (Great to fish under, and dive under for that matter)

If you want to e-mail me and I'll try to remember to get you some, all I'd want you to pay for is shipping.

elmo ,check out http://www.inlandaquatics.com/
they have the largest selection of macros that i know of.hth

reefhead · 03-26-2002, 09:57 PM

They have had some very bed cusomer service problems therefore I will not order from them.

Here is one issue that has recently happened
Good nassarius or bad?

this is not the first time he has done this--do a asearch at reefcentral for the company name.

my opinion juging from these threads is just.

cheers,
Joe

organicreefer · 03-26-2002, 11:49 PM

the snail thing is obviously the supplier's mixup ,imo.i HIGHLY doubt they were selling predatory snails knowingly...
alot of "older "threads i have read were mostly bad experiences,but more recently
(since a change in management i beleive)i have read nothing but glowing reports(well for the most part

)
i would reccomend you do a search too,dont take my word for it

Elmo18 · 03-27-2002, 01:56 AM

Thanks!!! Yes, can you definitely post here when you will be doing that. By that time I should have the tank ready and setup. I know seahorses like to hang around that stuff, along wtih other macro algae.

Now I believe it's the sessile ones, though. I will go read the books again.

Thx,
Ilham
