Experience with Pacific East Aquaculture?
Curious if anyone has experience with Pacific East Aquaculture out of Maryland. Anything I order will be shipped and they have some pretty good deals going on. Any other opinions from other online dealers (Marinedepotlive.com, Zomania.com, and yourreef.com) would be appreciated as I'm ready to stock my tank. Many thanks.

I have never ordered from them but I have visited the store and they are a quality outfit. I have read many posts on RC from people who have ordered and they have been very pleased.

I ordered three frags from them several months ago and they have been very healthy and growing like crazy.
I'm very pleased with my purchase, and with their service.

DR. Mac for pacific east is the man! I just saw him today over at the Manhattan Reefs.com frag swap and he had some high quality frags as well as being very informative about our beloved hobby.

Agreed. Top notch. I have ordered at least 10 frags from them. Always properly packaged, timely shipping, and healthy corals. Have not lost any of the SPS I've ordered from them. Excellent PE right out of the box.

seems SPS and coral frags are easier to ship and keep in good condition on their travels than say fish or inverts?

I've had the pleasure of ordering from Dr. Mac at Pacific East a number of times - always had excellent results, sps frag packs, specific corals, and clams. The two Tangs (Red Sea Purple and a Two-Spot) I picked up in person over a year ago are chow hounds and in great shape. They take great care of their customers.
Cheers, Ray

I purchased a bunch of frags from him at the NJ frag swap. He had some nice frags and seems like a super-nice guy.
