Best place to buy stuff???

[billaweed]

Ok.. so I live in washington and only have a couple of stores local to me. They dont have much so I've been looking at some online stores and possibly thinking of buying some coral, anemones, and so forth from them. I am wondering if any of you have any recomondations for online stores to purchase from.

Ive gotten a lot of mixed reviews from freinds saying that its better to buy direct from a store in person so nothing dies. Have any of you ever had any problems buying online?

thanks

Billaweed,

I'm not sure which part of Washington you are in, but if you check the "Sponsors" tab up at the top, I think you might find quite a few local fish stores.

As for ordering from online, I've had good and bad luck. Sometimes, the old saying "you get what you pay for" is very true, especially when ordering online.

Im actually in lewis county in the Chehalis/Centralia area. Me being a newbie to fish tanks and salt water in general, I don't know where any local stores are other than the two i mentioned earlier.

Looks like you should check out the greater Portland area. Upscales and Soutas are a couple that come to mind and I'm sure there are others.

I likke Fosters & Smith because of their warranty. 15 day no questions asked.

Foster and Smith has 30 day warranty on aqua-cultured corals. Can't ask for better than that.

yeah.. I actually bought my new lights from there. I'll probably buy all the coral from them that cant find close to me

thanks for the input
