    Where do you buy online ?

    I've done online shopping at GARF, and Pet Warehouse. Where does everyone else buy there supplies and livestock? I'm looking for a good source for fish and Invert's like snails, snugs and the like...

    Thanks for everyones input !

    I use petwarehouse for all of my dry good stuff other than hardware. For anything hardware related, Marine Depot has been good to me. Their customer support is above average, and their prices are good.

    I've ordered live stock from Liveaquaria.com (petwarehouse), and ffexpress both with good results and a happy outcome. I plan to order from both in the future.

    www.premiumaquatics.com has always done me right. Contact via e-mail is more convenient for me.

    www.exoticfish.com is also a class act.

    I use etropics for inverts cant beat the price when you get thier package deal including shipping and can make your own package.

    Live goods marinedepot and premiumaquatics are probably 2 of the best.

    Never be afraid to try something new.

    The key to all is to always prepare for the worst before the worst prepare for you..

    After the PW move, I found a catalogue called petsolutions. A number of the more knowledgeable techs and customer service people from the old PW now work at petsolutions. Including myself.
    For all of your aquarium needs:

    Hardware, I use www.marinedepot.com.

    For Livestock/rock, I've used www.ffexpress.com and www.exoticfish.com

    I've gotten rocks from both places, and love em both. The Vanisi and Fiji Premium from Jeff's and ffexpress, respectively.

    Very Cool... Thanks for all the sites.

    For what its worth, Fish Doctors in Ypsilanti MI are very cool, I went there on Bongo Brians advice and I am very pleased. They matched an ONLINE price for me on some Actinic 03 PC bulbs on only my second visit... Also I purchased my aragonite sand there got 4 bags for 100.00 bucks, thats 60.00 cheaper then Preuss' in Lansing and none of my LFS even stock the stuff.

    Once again thanks for the input, I have some shopping to do now!

    I'd like to add Reef Fanatic to the list. I have ordered from them twice, and been very happy with them both times now. On the last order, a bulb was cracked on arrival. They offered to overnight the replacement out right away, if I wanted. I was very impressed with their service!!

    Premium Aquatics is another favorite. I've always been satisfied with my orders there!!!

    I have ordered on petwarehouse.com and ahsupply.com(great for lights)
    Found great prices at petswarehouse.com only problem is the times I have ordered I had to call after a few days to see if they shipped it and they usually did not, so if you can wait a bit and bother to call again no problem, goo to order if you are from the east coast they are from long Island.

    If you are into SPS then I would certainly say
    www.lonestarcorals.com

    Seen his operation and had some awsome SPS and shipping is great.
