First Dr Fosters and Smith order

[VitalApparatus]

Well I finally broke down and ordered some corals online.A few things that I never see in our killer LFS' here.
Aussie Scolymia (Blue with Stripes)
Scrolling Tubinaria (Blue)
Bushy Acropora Fiji (Purple)

Ive always wanted to try a livestock online order and with the free shipping it seemed like a good deal.
Ill post pics when it arrives Tuesday.Im so excited!!
Also Ive heard that they have the best customer service (of online dealers) and that if something is damaged or dead they will refund me immediately.
Anyone else have any Fosters and Smith experiences?

Yeah, I've ordered fom Diver's Den a lot. They required pictures for issues a while back, but haven't asked in the last year or two. The only things that I ever lost from them were a few wild acro's and a Hawkin's Echinata.

I use them a bit just because the LFS can't always get what you want. Really good to deal with and have great customer service. I get mine sent to the FedEx facility on Appling in Cordova with my name as the person to hold it for. I can go pick it up from them at 7 or 8am if I want, instead of waiting all day for the truck to deliver it. Saves a few hours which may be good for livestock. On the Foster and Smith account page, you can change your shipping address to a FedEx holding facility if you wish. Just a tip.

I have family in Racine, WI and have always wanted to visit them so I could go visit Fosters and Smith!

Oops, meant to say Rhinelander.

I'm really curious about that bushy acro. I'm not buying anything else until I get a UV filter.

I bought a Scolly from Memfish Sunday and I am loving it!! He ate about 12 pellets tonight. When I was looking at him Amy put some shrimp pellets on top of him and I thought man she has not learned much. Boy was I wrong, it opened up and ate them like a champ so I had to buy a pack before I left.

Unfortunately I became a single parent (with one income)the day after I placed that order and I had to cancel it to make sure I had enough cash to get us through to payday
