Going to ask anyone who has recieved anything from me to chime in. Need to build up credibility, Thanks all.

Yeah Carlton'sTank. This reefer knows how to package and ship coral. My shipment's for coral usually arrive in makeshift boxes with some water leakage, etc. Well not from this seller!! Everything was in styro and perfectly sealed. The corals opened up litterally while they acclimated. That was a first for me. I reccommend this seller to everyone, fair prices and great quality. Enjoy your coral and buy with confidence!

this seller is awesome the pichers were great and showed wat the corals look like. the frag i recived some of the polyps fell off but it was an easy fix and the frags literally opened up during acclimation. i recomend this seller to anyone especially first timers.

Ok, So i met up with (Carlton'sTank) Today to buy some frags from him, I Got bout 4 Of them For a Really great price! (cheaper than any store that's for sure) any way, The Frags Are Great! they started opening up before i could even get them into My tank. lol They are really healthy. Great Colors, and look great in my tank all ready!
Will Recommend!
Will Get Some More Myself I'm Sure..
Thanks Bro!

Thanks for the feedback so far guys.

Let me see some pictures guys!

A+++++ FOR THIS SELLER!!!

My corals arrived next day, perfectly packaged in a styro cooler, newspaper, heat pack, and TRIPLE BAGGED! This was my first purchase from someone on N-R and he set the bar very high for everyone else. Hope to work with him again in the future! Fair prices, excellent quality, would buy from him again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Frags!

I bought a Aquapod lid from Carlton's Tank..It was packed great and he even went thru the trouble of sending me some small parts that were missing I didn't even know about. He even tried to get the hood clips off of his tank for me. I will be buying frags for sure after seeing the pix!

Thanks for a great deal, buy with confidence peeps

Wow super good guy to deal with. I only bought 30 bucks worth of frags from him, but he went out of his way to meet me close to my house so I could do local pick up. its good to have someone in my area with freakin cheap awsome frags...im not talking junk stuff here these started to open in my truck on the way home! Deal with confidence with this guy.

Thanks so much guys!

Everyone I have dealt with so far has also been great. I was nervous at first because I never really shipped before this site, but everyone has been really nice to work with and cool people in general.

Ordered some Hawaiian Ding Dangs and he gave me more then what I ordered!!!!!

Packaging was very professional too....

Thanks Carlton!!!!

Here's a pic of the Ding Dangs I got...

we recieved our ice chest of frags today

they were very professionally packaged and were all in perfect shape.

after seeing the cost of shipping i feel like i ripped you off tho.. let me know next time you have some zoas for sale i'll definately continue to support/buy frags from you.

thanks purplefirefish, I appreciate it. You did not rip me off in any way, I estimated shipping to be around $60 (I even mentioned it in a PM to you) so with supplies I was pretty dang close. With an order that size I will always cover shipping and throw in freebies no prob. Thanks again. Keep in touch.

Excellent seller! Everything arrived in perfect health, and the packaging was excellent, very professional. The frags all had great color when they arrived and are thriving, spreading very fast. I will throw up some pictures as soon as i get a chance! Thanks!

I met up with Carlton'sTank and got 5 or 6 frags from him. He gave me a great price. The frags are nice colors and very healthy, I had a hard time choosing! I will definitely buy again from him.

Thanks Jen, you are welcome any time.

one of the best sellers i have dealt with! great communication, great shipping, and best of all great frags! definitely an asset to nano-reef!

GREAT stuff, wonderful prices, and a freebie!!!! They all opened right away!! Good communication, thanks so much Carlton!!!! I will definately be back!!!!

MLK- Thanks a lot. I checked your tank thread and once your tank is cherry I can say i contributed...Love the ADA.

Kari- Thanks again. I hope you enjoy! Contact me if you ever want zoas or palys.

Got my package next day as promised. I was impressed with the packing, especially the glueing of the box! Everything looked great. I am happy with the order and would certainly order from Carlton's Tank again
Thanks
Pete

Thanks Pete! Anytime...

I also got my package the next day, and the packaging was fantastic. BY FAR the BEST packaging I have seen. Great colors on the zoas as well, better than the pictures. Thanks again!

Thanks so much Iasutaku. It was a first shipping to Hawaii but everything worked out great.

Great frags, great tanks, would buy more and prob will once I have more room

Just got my stuff today and it is terrific. I would definitely recommend Carlton'sTank to anyone looking for great frags at a wonderful price. Everything has begun opening and the colors are beautiful. I will definitely be buying from them again.

glad to hear it, it was a pleasure doing business with you. It was a nice fast transaction with no problems and communication was great. If you ever start a feedback thread let me know and I will drop a line for you as a buyer. Thanks again, enjoy!

Easy as pie. Ordered and shipped just as described. USPS tried to mess us up but the frags are looking great. I will definitely be looking for some more frags in the future!

I ordered some frags from Carl, since we are both in CA I asked him to just ship Priority. He made sure to ship early morning so that they have a better chance of arriving next day.

So the box arrived: I was blown away by the packaging, the box was in perfect shape. It was insulated and the frags were triple bagged. Not one drop of water outside the bags.

The frags were exactly as the photograph I ordered them from. Great colors, great sizes and great prices. He even included a freebie. What's the name of it by the way Carl? After acclimating them and placing them in my tank they were 50% open within an hour. Today, after the lights came on in my tank they were all open and winking at me

Needless to say, I will buy again from Carl, in a hearbeat. His selection and prices are first class, not to mention the shipping. Communication is great as well. I rate him 11 over 10.

Thank you Carl,

Luis

OOPS! I didn't see this thread until I posted in your gotta get this rack cleared thread..

so, more POSITIVE feedback can't hurt right?

Feedback for Carlton's Tank! EXCELLENT deal and frags... Shipping was w/out any hitches even with Priority Mail USPS, Items arrived in GREAT SHAPE, Packaged well in paper and Styrofoam. Frags were bagged double and the packing material was bone dry, and the Styrofoam lining kept everything nice and cozy. The frags opened up really quickly (Yesterday evening) after their 5 min dip in Lugol's and tank water.

The best part of this transaction was the communication from Carlton's Tank, prompt and honest. There was a possible issue with one of the frags I originally purchased, she offered to refund that frag or replace it with another one similar. I of course trusted this opinion and took her up on the replacement.. well worth it, she gave me 3 frags for the one that was bad. I made out well in this transaction.

I am very pleased with my purchases and they are happy in my tank and are welcomed additions and were a very good deal to boot!

THANKS CARLTON"S TANK YOU ROCK!

Respectfully,
TrekBear

Thanks Luis and TrekBear, I really appreciate the business guys.

WOW! that was the best transaction I have ever experienced. The styrofoam lining was actually glued! Carltons's tank took the time to GLUE IT!! Absolutely professional in follow up as well as packaging. Shipped from CA to ID 3 days in priority. Everything opened right up once they got in the tank.... Simply amazing. Thanks!

Well just got my corals today. Took a little longer than expected but they appear to be doing great. This was becuase of Carlton'sTank. The packing was amazing! The box was lined with styrofoam, then inside that was newspaper and inside that were my corals. They were triple bagged and are acclimating right now! I will post some pics when they are open but for now here are a few shots of the box and packaging

Just wanted to give my 2 thumbs up for Carlton'sTank. Coral came very well packaged. Polyps opened right up as soon as they hit my tank's water (after 2 days in transit too). And, beautiful bright colors. Very well done! Thanks

Got my corals last week Carlton'sTank and they came very well packaged!
The box was lined with styrofoam glued together too, inside of it were my corals around them was
newspaper too. They were triple bagged also. Nicely done. great seller highly recommended.


some more

Got my frags today.What a pack job insulated box triple bagged.Once I figured out to get inside the insulated box I was very impressed.Awesome communication and great frags.Thanks Again

Following quick, clear communication, the package arrived with frags securely triple- bagged, padded with newspaper, and neatly packed in a secured box of styrofoam. I have nothing but good things to say about the packing, but even better: everything has opened up over a couple hours, and the colors look great.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

I bought a sunset monti frag from Carlton's tank and I would recommend buying from him anytime. The frag looked even better in person and he hand delivered it.

I appreciate it. Locals always welcome!

Overall, we had a really great experience with Carlton's Tank. Instant feedback and great shipping. Lost one frag, but all the others look great. Thanks.

My box came today and I was a little apprehensive due to the weather in NorthEast Missouri being in the teens.

The packaging was so well that I had a difficult time just opening the box. Seems he glues the lids down... so, no wonder I could not find the tape seams to pull off. Doubled bagged each frag along with a still hot Heat Pack inside the box with newspaper for insulation inside the styrofoam box,

The zoa frags were in full bloom within a half hour of being in my Bio Cube. They are real Beauties. Also.. there was a very large frag of zoas which Carlton sent as an extra Bonus.

You can bet yoir boots I will be ordering from Carlton's Tank again!!!!!

Gotta go now... and take another peak at my little Beauties.


Judie

well after reading everyone elses comments i have nothing to add lol, everyone has said the same thing i would have. Everything was professionally done and handled will be doing business in the future. Thanks again

Recieved my package today..as everyone else's, it was packaged wonderfully..it took me a few minutes to get into it lol. I took everyone out and started acclimating them, not 15 minutes after I started acclimating they started to open up! They were put in the tank about 2 hours ago and everyone is open and beautiful, except one who is taking its time (figures, its my favorite lol) the anthelia is happily waving in the current. and..I got extra's, which make the deal that much sweeter!

Oh, and the communication is amazing, this was my first shipping experience, and I couldn't have picked a better person to start with. Awesome seller, will buy from him again!

Thanks Carlton'sTank!!
(as soon as i find my camera, ill put pictures up!) I can't stop looking at them..

I have ordered from Nic 2 times now.Frags are always very well packed and great communication. His insulated boxes are something to talk about. At first I thought he was purchasing these boxes but found out he makes the insulated boxes himself out of styro.He cuts the styrofoam PERFECT then he takes a hot glue gun and glues all the edges to form a perfect box that would make Uline jealous.After he triple bags your frags and puts a heat pack in there he then takes a hot glue gun and glues the top on pretty amazing.A+++

Stopped by yesterday and picked up some frags from Nic. All I have to say is great communication, great zoa selection, and great prices! I will for sure be purchasing from him again!

Thanks CJ, I appreciate it.

Very professionally shipped, zoas were partially open in the box and they sat at my parents house for an extra night! Heat pack was even still warm As soon as they were acclimating they opened, not bad for a 3 day in box time! Super healthy frags, cannot say enough good things. Thanks again!!

The best seller out there, great frags, opened in the bag while acclimating. The best packaged shipment I've ever recieved took me 30 minutes just to break it open and all the frags will still attached. I had to ask him what he used to frag so that I could start using the same equipment. Everything was healthy and acclimated well. Great advice and look forward to future buys and trades....Thanks again...

Just got my package from Carlton's tank today

As with my previous purchase packaging was great, as was the communication! I would not hesitate to buy from for a third time, and I probably will;)

Thanks again!!!!

Had a great experience with CT. As others have noted the packaging was great and everything arrived alive and healthy.

Even after a shipping error was made (that wasn't his fault) he went out of his way to make sure I was happy and things were made right. Communication was great. I would not hesitate to order from CT again.

Thanks!

Success.... one of the best coral frag shippers on this side of the mississippi my corals arrive healthy as can be... took about five min before they open up. Thanks CT
