Where to buy hardware online
Hey guys, it is sometime difficult to get hold of certain equipment where I live, so can someone recommend a good, trustworthy online store (for marine hardware) that would ship worldwide

Those are the three main ones I use but I usually use marine depot or bulkreef supply. Both have excellent selection and customer service.

Dr foster and smith are great, because you only need to spend $49 to get free shipping. Helps if you don't need want to spend $175+ to save a few extra dollars. I also have had good luck with saltsuppy.com

South Africa, might have to find a European or Asia based site to order from. As far I can tell Drs. Foster and Smith, and Bulk Reef Supply (BRS) are US based and I don't think they ship outside of North America. I could be wrong though, so don't hold me to it.

ThatFishPlace/ThatPetPlace are local to me in the US but they do ship internationally. The site says $150 minimum of in-stock dry goods and you'd need to call CS to work out how they would ship.
They're a great store...huge retail building plus a huge warehouse. They sponsor RC and the club I'm a member of (they host huge frag swaps). I believe they used to be all fish (That Fish Place) but that was AGES ago and they're now a full pet retailer (That Pet Place)...and bigger and a WHOLE lot better than any friggin' PetCo or PetSmart I've ever been to.
