were is the best place to get lps online
i have seen
extrem corals way over priced
bought from ultima frags before
and from sharky before looking for some that are not our sponsors that our decent priced thanks
 
Personally I favor liveaquaria. I've never gotten parasites from their shipments and they have a guarantee they come through with...that can top small savings as an inducement.
 
Atlantis has pretty good prices on small frogs n hammers n torches. I am thinking about placing a order with them. Anyone else use them?
 
Fraggle reef has some nice pieces. You just have to keep checking the site, since it's updated a couple times a week. I picked up a sweet Sandalolitha sp. last month.
It's a multimouthed Fungia.
Free shipping is always a plus.
 
www.phishybusiness.com you will thank me later. Read his feedback on his forum here on RC. Shipping techniques and coral quality a second to none. I am just fortunate to have him 15 mins from me. By far the best place I have every purchased corals, hands down beats any ther online stores I have purchased from, and that list is LONGGGGGGGGG.
 
i've purchased from ultimatefrags, liveaquaria, and also extreme corals. extremecorals is #1 in my book, second would be liveaquaria...and let's just say that i will never ever purchase from ultimatefrags again...
 
I am used to paying for quality :) this is an expensive hobby... I live very rural america and cannot just go down to the LFS ... I hope that you live closer to the coasts where the availabilty keeps the prices lower ... Besides he asked about LPS... which is mostly what I buy from Serdar... NOT mushrooms
 
but you dont think the LPS prices are a little hi too? i have only heard good things about the guy, not bashing here. I am also looking at online vendors and i am honestly asking if the prices are worth it is all.
 
Of everywhere that I have bought (Besides from individules and trades) the BEST are:

Corals... Serdar @ PhishyBusiness (Worth every penny yes :) and free shipping during august)
Fish....... Saltwaterfish.com (WOW Free Shipping!)
Supplies... MarineDepot

These vendors are Fast, affordable and most of all each time that I have had ANY problem they stood behind thier product... That goes a very long way in my book :)

PS. I grew up in / around Chicago... Dalton, Park Forest, Gary, Merrilville, Chicago Hieghts ect.

Where in Chicago are you?
 
currently i am in Bucktown, but my tank is in Oak Park :/ . I dont really need to worry about online vendors, but its always nice to know of a good one
 
The red mushrooms Phishy Business has on there site are HUGE! I bought a loose one mounted to some live rock about a month ago and the thing is a solid 3" across now. It is a true red (iredecent). His stuff is hands down the best out there.
ost places will ship you corals regardless of the health, Phishy refuses to ship less than perfect corals. I have personaly seen him tell a customer in his store he refuses to sell them a coral due to the corals health ot suggest a diff. coral due to there set up so it flurishes. I bought a nice large acan colony from extreme corals about a year and a half ago. When I received it, it looked nothing like the picture on the website (candy can striped acan). I was dissapointed with that. Not to mention a few days later it died and I was sort of given the cold shoulder. To me you get what you pay for in this hobby which is not cheap.
