Rocky Mountain Frag opinions?

[Cosmojo]

Hey guys,

I like a lot of their stuff, and wanted to see if anybody has made any purchases from them, and how their experience was.

Thanks!

Ive ordered from there before. Frags came colored very nicely just like in pictures. Priced a bit high IMO but quality pieces

Thanks a lot, Jim. Where have you seen similar coral for less? Would like to see some places that have similar colors for less from a solid seller.

You might want to peruse this thread. What you're seeing on that site has been substantially photo-processed. Depending on what you're looking for, there are a lot of more established businesses selling various frags for a whole lot less.

Instead of providing him a thread which is honestly just 7 pages of repeating the same bellyaching over and over, and ending with a vague comment about other businesses, why not provide him something more useful such as direction to those businesses?

That's in the thread (in one of my posts - two examples). But the thread isn't 7 pages of belly aching. At least the first couple of pages has these three important points:

1) Many coral sellers, though not all, whether individuals on fleabay or small start-ups, artificially enhance the photos of the corals. These corals will never look like the pictures, either in the dealer's tanks or the customer's.

2) Buying named corals often means paying greatly inflated prices for small frags vs. buying unnamed colonies for much less.

3) Typically, hooking in to a local club and/or finding a good LFS if available will allow someone to stock a tank for much less, and it's truly WSIWYG, since it's in person.

The hobby market in San Antonio is essentially zoas only, and those are the thing I can't keep, they all melt away. LPS and SPS does well for my tanks. Any sites outside of LA/DD that have nice sticks at decent prices, I would greatly appreciate links.

The corals i ordered from RMF came as pictured, just FYI.

The title of the OP's thread is " Rocky Mountain Frag opinions" and this is a discussion forum. So why is it every time someone gives THEIR opinion, you refer to it as complaining or/and in this case "belly aching over and over". He gave his "opinion" to the OP my friend and hopefully YOU can provide him that list of businesses which is far more useful then critiquing his answer.
