My experience mirrors that of everyone else on here. This guy rocks. USPS took three days to do the 700 miles between Stockton and here, meanwhile it was getting down in the low teens here.

opened up the most wonderfully packaged box and pulled out three pleasantly warm frags. Only ordered two by the way. They were opening during acclimation and are looking great right now. I'll try and get some pics up when the light go on. Thanks again and can't wait to order some more.

who's carlton?























nice meeting you at the swap.

You too, we definitely need to link up sometime.

And thank you to everyone who has given me feedback thus far, you guys have all been really easy to work with and I am just as happy about the transactions and you.

Awesome first time buying expierence from this seller. Was consurned about shipping priority mail from CA to KY, but will not hesitate to buy/ship from this seller again. Package was professionally shipped and all sealed, in fact it took me a couple of mins to get into it. The heat pack and contents were still warm, after three days on the road. I even got some extra freebies which was are very nice additions to my tank. Overall great expierence and look forward to what furture purchases.

I recently ordered some acans, zoa, and one SPS from Carlton, I have to say, for the third time I have received an amazingly packaged box. The corals took three days to get from Cali to here in WA, which is odd, but everything made it alright even with these cold days! Amazing coral, for an amazing price, thanks again man, I am sure another order will be soon

so now you guys know who bought all the acan frags in the first ten minutes ^

I did, like a boss.

I should prob post some pics sometime in this thread of the acans, they are really nice!

what customer service. a few articles should be written on carlton's CS. wasnt able to ship when stated, so included two extra frags for the 'trouble'. heat pack, triple bagged and 2nd day shipping arrival. doesnt get much better.



repeat customer for sure.


A+++++++++++++++

Just wanted to share my experience buying zoas from Carlton'sTank. Serious mad props to him, not only was the packaging awesome the zoas were incredible....they seriously opened within five minutes of being put into the tank. He even threw in a small bottle of Lugol's for free since I did not have any.

I took a picture of the Armor of God frag that he sent..he also sent me Tubb Blues, metallic greens and a nice red/pink zoa..it does no justice (I don't have a fancy camera).

I cannot even begin to thank him enough. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone looking for great zoas from a great guy

Thanks Nic!

Nic is a great seller. Super nice corals. Great job packing and shipping. Dont hesitate to deal with him.

Thanx again Nic.

Yesterday I bought from Nic again and I am just as happy as the first time. He has great stuff, is great to work with, and sells at great prices! I can't wait until he gets more stuff so I can buy again.

Just got some amazing zoas from nic and there amazing and already want more and will for sure. Package was seal insulated frags where tripled baged . Great seller could write paragraph on this amazing deal.

Great seller. Bought some beautiful zoas from him, they came very nicely packaged. Fast shipping from norcal to socal. This was my first time buying corals from another reefer online. Thanks Carlton'sTank for making it a great transaction! I would not hesitate to buy from him. Can't wait to see what else you have to offer in the future! You'll have a repeat customer for sure!

And since most people are visual, these are what I bought from him. 95% of everything opened up within the first 15 minutes. These still a frag of 3 polyps that haven't opened yet but I'm not to worried.


excuse my lack of macro lens.

i bought 5 different zoa frags from Carlton and they were great! one of the 'frags' has 25+ polyps. All opened immediately. I trusted his judgement to make me a nice variety pack and he did a great job!

pleasure to do buy, trade and sell to again and again and again and again.

bought frags..they arrived today and everything looks great!!! even included some freebie chaeto frags were open in the bags everything is in the tank and looks awesome!!!

thanks again for the great frags, will do business again and again!!!

Well this is the 3rd time that I have bought from Nic. As always I am super happy with the transaction. His stuff is super high quality and just like always her threw in a couple of extras. Put everything in my tank and it was opened and super happy within minutes.

2nd transaction with NIc and everything went perfectly. Well packaged, well priced and a really nice guy as well. Thanks

Just had a deal with Nic. Great service! Shipped super fast and I can't even think of how much time he spend on the packing. It was such a great transaction!

Just got my package from Nic today! This is the fourth time I have purchased something from him and he packaged my coral amazingly just like last time! It takes 3 days for the coral to get here for some reason, always has, but his coral does just fine! Thanks again man, we can probably make it a fifth order soon haha.

Hey all, i recently traded a k2 viper with Nic and I couldnt have been have been happier. All of the corals I got looked great and the amount of corals i got was insane. He defiantly made it worth my while. He gave me a huge list to choose from and all of the frags and colonies were healed and in perfect condition. The shipping was also pro!! The way he did it was great and now the frags are doing really well.... Thanks again Nic for everything. I was really happy doing business with you and can't wait to do it again!

Bought a RKL system and was a great seller! Arrived packed up better than factory and quick shipping!

Would recommend as a seller!

I ordered my first ever corals from Nic a few days ago... Everything was extremely well priced... and EXTREMELY well packed! Sealed tightly and securely! The coral looks exactly as it did in the pics.. Everything was amazing.. Will definitely order from him again!!!

Got some rics and a mini nem from Nic. Everything was well priced and packed. All arrived in great shape. I'd definitely order again. Pics of what I got is in my tank thread.

Ordered a couple of zoas from Nic. Got everything yesterday. Very nicely packed and everything opened up pretty much right away. Also threw in a frag of radioactive dragon eyes for free. Would order again.

Just received my order this morning and couldn't be happier. Quality frags and the BEST packaging I have ever seen. I have ordered from live aquaria, blue zoo, fraggle reef and multiple independent sellers and I have never seen such care taken to ensure healthy specimens. Thanks Nic!

Got my package (great packaging!) of Zoas as promised. This was my first purchase with Nic and the transaction could not have gone any smoother. I also got a lot more than i polyps than i purchased, in case of radioactive zoa i purchased 10 but got almost 25+ polyps. He also included the freebie zoas. All opened up on the very second day and are in excellent health.

The black and white clown pair that i received is also doing great, and the mohawks are recovering. Thanks for shipping everything!

Here are some of the photos, still a newbie at taking photos so could not grab all the colors....

Just got my Mini nem today and the packaging was the best I have seen yet! He threw in some chaeto and a paly frag (which opened real nice and big right away I must add) and some Nemastoma. Totally great seller and would definitely order from again.

Thanks so much!!
