Sooooo, where to order from...

For fish, I use Live Aquaria. I've ordered from their Diver's Den as well as their main site. All 3 times received amazing fish. All very healthy - eating well, swimming well, etc. from the start.

For coral, I do occasionally purchase from my LFS but I have made several purchases from AquaSD. You pay more in total because of shipping, but honestly the quality of the coral is night and day. Their customer service is incredible and the quality is just so good. Highly recommend them. Also, overnight shipping is standard and is around $35-$40 depending on the carrier. It doesn't matter if it is shipped from San Diego to Cincinnati, or Cleveland to Cincinnati (where I live).
 
+1 DD/LiveAquaria.

There is a place in Florida that I've been wanting to try, that offers a 15 day guarantee. http://www.saltwaterfish.com

I have ordered several times for saltwaterfish.com. They have good shipping methods and great survival rate. But you really gotta watch the Gimmics. like there coupon codes and credit codes. If you do have doa . you usually have to spend 170 or more to use the credit because of there 1 code per order thing.
The stuff i get from there is usually what i expect except fish are almost always smaller then you would think..

Talked to them on the phone as well and they seem very nice and want to help.
Good Luck...
 
Vividaquariums.com i saw a video on this place on Mrsaltwatertanktv and he went to the actual place to see it and it looked amazing. So ive placed a bunch of orders from them in the past two months and wow ive got to say everything has been perfect. Check them out
 
Without being biased, I've never had a problem with LiveAquaria / Divers Den and been pleased with what I received.
 
Thanks, getting piles of opinions, will make life easier, if I can't figure out my monti problem I may just stick to lps and softies for a while
 
The only places I have ever ordered fish online from have been Blue Zoo Aquatics, Live Aquaria or LA Divers Den. Never had any trouble till this year with Live Aquaria on back to back orders.

Couple of things to note on LA guarantee (never had to use BZA guarantee), They do not credit for shipping, only the livestock and if purchased on sale only the sale amount so if you try to replace any livestock no longer on sale then the additional cost is on you as well as the shipping. Secondly, now that Petco has aquired LA/DD if there is a Petco in your home state then you also have sales tax.
