Anyone that sends accesories/nutrients to Mexico?

Sorry guys I know this is not the exact part of the forum for this...
But... I live in the border and basically every aquarium I have visit is plagued with planaria, fish tanks have ich, there's aiptasia being sold as a "species"...
So it might take me forever... But I was planing to make my own live rock...
I was looking for bacteria but it is exahusting... There's only cheap brands that literally stink... It is not normal right?
So I was looking for rock maybe from caribsea and a bacteria and nutrients from a good brand :3
Thanks for reading guys and sorry to bother.

You don't need to buy the bacteria. They will naturally populate your tank once you fill it up with saltwater, though the bottled stuff may help speed up the process.

Where on the border do you live?

Most local LFS have good rock and coral. I have not seen any LFS here with flatworm infestation. Either way, you may want to dip all coral you buy.

Try Saltwater Heaven on Yandell near Cotton here in El Paso. Chris always has a huge variety of coral.

Well I would love to, will try to call them, but I think I already call Saltwater Heaven and they say no...

Let's hope they change their mind!
