has anyone ever purchased corals or anything from saltwaterfish.com???

[RyanG]

Yes I have, everything was a-ok!

[Rmorris24]

yes, i have and it was fine as well, but Drsfosterandsmith are cheeper and i have received far better corals, and fish from them.

I've used both and both good. I found saltwaterfish.com cheaper-free ship at $79.

i have, but you must do your research because many sites will give different care, name, and compatibality. also the shipping can kill you on many sites. it's still nice to do just gotta take your time, and be very choosy

I've had good luck with a few online vendors, A few in the local club here have also had good luck with saltwaterfish.com

I buy most of my supplies in bulk from petsolutions.com. I get stuff for much cheaper then from my lfs and i am completely satisfied with the service. Shipping is very cheap and fast if you buy alot of stuff.

[crazygator]

you're right. and i do buy all my dry goods from petsolutions.com, i guess i am picky and would like to see exactly what i'm getting.

Saltwater fish .com is my favorit they always have good stock and they come packed perfect just remember to use FEDEX drop off so you can pick them up when they get in

Buying Tips from just my perspective as a novice online coral buyer
I got a father's day present from my son (a $50 gift certificate) from Dr's F+S and everything was A-OK but be aware of needed info. RE: a few things about them OR any other place you may order from.
1st. - I ordered a 7 pk. of soft corals - ALL arrived alive and healthy!
2nd. - Everything they sent was VERY TINY (as honestly advertised)
3rd. - If you go this route be prepared to glue into place or they may float away (all are alive (q few big and healthy but several got away from me and are growing nicely (but slowly) deep where they landed in crevices that cannot be retrieved without taking apart the reef.
4th - shipping $ should make you calculate the value before you buy online.
5th. - Just watch for out for hidden shipping costs - if you buy from one area of that (or other sites) you may have to pay another nice fee to ship items from another part of their same online store, same order.
6 - My LFS - can be a bit pricey @ time but I got 2 nice sized live rocks with colonies of coral on them for about $25 ea. + they are growing fast. I also just got a great , healthy little zoanthid attached nicely to a god frag @ my LRS (local reef store which I love! (it was still larger than any of my online bits o' mushroom corals + only cost $14.)
Not saying not to buy online cuz you may get a cool selection not available locally etc. - just be careful and be prepared to handle them carefully. I should have had my superglue ready for my online pack. - Oh well - live and learn + good luck.

i've bought from saltwaterfish and they were really good. pay attention to the size that they say its going to be when it comes in cause it will be that size for sure but as far as that goes yeah everything healthy as a horse no bad experiences out of 7 orders i've had one fish DOA and one fish left out one time both were quickly refunded with no hassel.

i buy from saltwaterfish.com and drsfosterandsmith.com is comparable in price, one will be less on 1 item and 1 will be less on the other, but the quality is good..

my hammer coral from saltwaterfish.com was on the very small side.... but the fish was great.
