Buying online

starAU · 07/04/2006, 01:49 AM

Being all the way over here in AU I have started to notice that you guys and gals in the states seem to have a plethora of online shops available to you.

I have my 60 gal tank cycling at the moment and Im starting to plan the inhabitants for it.

I don't expect too many responses, but do any members here know of any online shops on this side of the world. I understand the fact it's a million times better to buy from your LFS (keeping the profits local, you see what your purchasing etc. etc.).

However the only, and i repeat the ONLY reef life form i've seen for sale over here in a fish shop was a yellow tang that by the looks of him, had seen much better days.

Any guidance or advice is appreciated.

Tim.

Shipping live stuff will be a problem since customs will be in the way. Equipment and such won't be a problem except the cost of shipping. If a company can ship by US post office, it can go international if the company is willing to go through the extra trouble which most will.
