Where do you get your corals?

[TripleJ21]

Hello everyone, I was just wondering what websites you guys shop at. I live in a small town, so the only LFS I have is a Petco, and they never get in corals. The nearest store with corals is about an hour and a half away. So I was just hoping you all would share and recommend some places where I could purchase some. Thanks!

Liveaquaria.com is one of the best sources.

Craigslist, frag swaps and other fellow reefers, however if I had to buy from a store I would probably use live aquaria or ebay. Where in Ohio are you located?

You close to Columbus?

I'm about an hour north of Columbus, in marion county. Thanks for all of the replies! I've been looking on liveaquria and eBay for a while, just figured I would see what people would come up with.

Most of mine come from locals and frag swaps, do you have a reef club near you?

Your local reef club would be cora! Also there's a few members on the forum that live in Marion also. Try looking there.

Alright thanks everyone! I'll definitely do some looking around and see what all I can find! Thanks for all of your help!

My LFS, but can find great deals on craigslist. Local frag swaps are even better I hear.

Live Aquaria, Unique Corals, and a few sellers on Ebay

Try Tidal Gardens in Copley.

Check out the CORA forum (Central Ohio Reef Aquarists).

For quality items it's much better to make the hour drive to Columbus than deal with shipping (in general).

Also the CORA swap is coming up in a few weeks.

Where do you go in Columbus? I'm in Mount Vernon, not to far from you. Look up Reefsystems coral farm. It's in Delaware county so closer than Columbus and everything is aquacultured. Great place, Great people.

Frag swaps, Craigslist eBay

Every coral in my tank came from Unique Corals in Jackson NJ. Mark is extremely knowledgable, and lucky for me, 3 miles from my house!
