GARF or Tropicorium

[snagster2010]

Well I finally have a ll my dry goods bought for my 29 gallon tank. Am going to buy some soft corals and wondering what place has better reputation and has better quality corals, they are both fairly cheap, GARF or tropicorium:bounce2:

I had a chance to visit tropicorium and their facility is amazing. I don't know that I would call them inexpensive though. Perhaps we have different definitions of "cheap" LOL!

ten soft coral frags for 100 bucks is cheap

What kinds of coral? Just everyday average things like toadstools and common zoas?? I didn't see anything that I couldn't get anywhere else for a $10 pricetag.

Ok so here we go...I posted the other week about my recent GARF order. I have had over 4 Garf orders which were ok but this last one was very bad. I called Leroy and explained what I wanted and he said no problem he would ship it all the next day. Order Shipped monday arrived tuesday morning and when I opened the box I knew something was wrong. Water was at 55 degrees only one small heater pack to CA from Idaho. Half of what was sent was dead already, the others were either in bad shape or were displaced from there plugs and were just floating in the bag. When I opened everything up much what he sent I already had in my tank which he knew. Then he sent 4 whole plugs of some very ugly coral I dont think anyone would want in their DT. Its also been over a week now after and no grunge or macro ever came and Leroy wont return my phone calls after like 5 messages. I understand these things happen but it has been Leroys response to this that will have me never go back to or promote Garf for purchasing coral. Use Craigslist you wont find any better deals then from fellow reefers. Good Luck
