online CUC and corals and rock- the other guys

JJIM · 11/09/2011, 11:03 PM

Other than the standard go to online dealers such as DD, Bluezoo, and Vivid, where do people go for reputable, reliable, livestock? Please fill in the questions below.....

For CUCs online?

For corals online?

For frags online?

Rock cured live?

Rock dry?

I like saltwaterfish.com... I ordered some nice corals and fish from them and they all are doing great! I have just received a order from LA and the fish and snail are doing great. the only thing with LA was they made me upgrade my shipping to priority overnight for 10.00 more. The live stock was coming from Ca and I live in Ca so it made no sense to me. They have great livestock but so does SW.com so I think I will go with them again on my next order so I will not be charged the extra shipping.. I could have drove and picked them up in less the 12hrs from LA.

Thanks ccolt1, anyone else have recommendations?

reefcleaners.com was great to deal with for my CUC

Also, just go thru the RC sponsors for corals and frags google the sponsor names that look like they might be relevant, some gold mine stuff in the sponsors section

+1, they usually send extras too.

Yup, got ~25 more dwarf ceriths than I had ordered.

+1 on Reefcleaners.com for cuc! Recently got some nice live rock from Premium Aquatics.

Another +1 for reefcleaners. I placed an order last week, got it in two days to California! Every single snail survived the trip and I got dozens (literally) of extras. I ordered four periwinkles and I got eight, 12 dwarf ceriths and I got probably 30 or 40. I'm fine with it, my tank can easily handle it so its a great added benefit, especially since I have sand substrate so the ceriths are doing great.

Reefcleaners impressed me ....lots of xtras too

Thanks all! I have been looking at RC for CUC and some inverts there. Prices and availability seem quite nice. I am also considering dry rock and cheato from there unless others have better options for live or dry rock? Still on the fence for my 5 gallon pico that has some frags in it already without the rock per se.

Suggestions on frag shops online? I like the idea of starting smaller with my nano and pico tanks and pruning as needed with my own frags simply due to space.
