Canadian Reefer. Advice on online shopping?

Grimreaperz · 08/08/2016, 04:06 PM

Hey so I have found a few sites that offer online ordering or corals and live stock.

http://www.northernreefaquatics.com/

Www.Fragbox.ca
Www.Canadacorals.Com
Www.fragcave.com

Does anyone have any experience ordering from these sites and which did yiu get the best service from. I am loving the prices at Fragbox site but wanted to see if anyone had any XP with them.

fragbox and CC are great, I have ordered from the latter and a good buddy has ordered from the former with no problem. Incredible Aquarium is also popular.

Awesome I was hoping that was going to be the answer! Digging some of the zoas and acans at Fragbox.

I know that Carl's Aquarium delivers and he also quarantines livestock for three weeks with copper. J&L Aquatics also ships livestock - you have to email them your order you can't do it online.
For supplies reefsupplies.ca is my go to. You can't beat their prices and if you do they will price match.

I have also ordered from Fragbox and CC and was happy with the service. I recommend both.

Yeah J&L is my Not so LFS about an hour drive. But it's where I usually go for supplies and I got my inverts and will most likely get my fish there. Thank you very much for the reefsupplies tip! And I will definitely check out Carl's. It's not like I will be ordering Rainbow Chalices or anything crazy most expensive one I want right now is the Emerald On Fire Zoas from Fragbox. Rest are between 20-40! So I am happy with that. But I am always looking to save money in this hobby! Thanks for all the tips!

Thanks. I've been searching for Canadian suppliers with very little success.

You will be fine with either of your first three choices.

All three are excellent, but I would also add big show frags to that list
