2 koralia 4's for $90 good or not?
Big Al's Online is offering free shipping on orders over $75 right now.
With 2 Koralia 4's at $44.95 each its about $90 total with free shipping. Is this a good deal, or rather a great deal, or is there somewhere else that has them cheaper that I am missing?

I think I locally paid around 70 for one of mine... Support local reef shops if at all possible but other than that that sounds like a good deal

i would love to support local reef shops, but they are about $70 at one store and $75 at the other. besides, i am done buying from them unless i have to. hate to say it but the one treats me like c*** for not dropping big bills every time i come in, and the other...the owner humiliated, or rather tried to, in front of a crowd for only doing 10% water change a week. he said, "Do at least 20-25%, please, you are a bad customer if you are treating fish like that, I wont sell to you anymore." So i said, "Don't you worry, you wont have the opportunity". Then he said he was joking, haven't been back yet. Jerk.

not a bad idea. i think that would be funny. trust me the local reef community is small here, and everyone i know says he treats them the same way. its only a matter of time before he drives his business to failure. he advertises MAC certified fish, but puts them in the tanks with the non-certified fish, which void the MAC right? he tried to sell me a neon green star polyp frag for $300. yes it was nice, but thats stupid. he said he got it from a local customer, so i put an ad on craigslist, and the guy he got it from contacted me and gave me 4 frags for free. serves him right.
