Jaredgib Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'm about to get my first corals for my IM Fusion 20 gallon was curious if anyone here has ordered from World Wide Corals in the past. Any feedback good or bad is greatly appreciated. Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 They are a top notch retailer. Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I've never ordered anything online from them but they're store is amazing. Link to comment
dadummy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Are you new to keeping coral? Is this your first tank?.. Reason I ask is WWC can be pretty pricey. I would hate to see you spend a bunch of money on something and have it die. Maybe check some local forums or clubs and see if someone could donate or sell some inexpensive starter frags. Try your hand at keeping them alive for a while before spending a lot of money and getting frustrated if things don't go well. If you are an experienced reefer disregard above and order away from WWC. Link to comment
Jaredgib Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Are you new to keeping coral? Is this your first tank?. Yes to both. Prices for some things did seem high, but they have a starter kit for 89$ which didn't seem horrible. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Great business but you are buying into the hype. Plenty of other cheaper and awesome vendors to purchase from. They don't sponsor Nano Reef so I won't sponsor them. I like to spend my money with retailers that sponsor here... Link to comment
mlivvy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I had a bryopsis outbreak from a zoa frag puchased from them so with that said, dip your frags (which you should do with every frag). I also recommend removing the frag from the plug/disc if you see any sort of growth or algae. Even if its just colored green, get rid of the plug. Other than that it's a great store with nice selections. Link to comment
dadummy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 what's included in the starter pack? Then have to add shipping? Hopefully someone close to you will see this and donate some frags or find a LFS, or craigslist and look for some inexpensive frags. I don't care who you buy from, pests are part of the hobby. Without quarantining coral the chance of getting something undesirable is pretty good, I don't care what you dip it in or how many times you dip it. Best bet is to look for clean frags or fresh cuts. Don't get freaked out by pests, enjoy the hobby and deal with them if the issue dose arise. I have been doin gthis a while and never had the "perfect" tank. it's always something do deal with.. good luck Link to comment
Jaredgib Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'll be dipping corals before introducing them into my tank. I don't have a qt tank. Link: https://worldwidecorals.com/catalog/product/view/id/4984/s/reef-starter-pack-1/category/20/ Link to comment
