Badgerspit Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 There are several LFS in town. All of them but one are 1)REALLY BAD and/or 2)REALLY EXPENSIVE. I only go to one place, they don't have everything as far as supplies, but that's what the interweb is for. At the LFS I DO go to, the owner and his wife are the nicest people in the world (although you do have to prove to him first that you care about the health of your livestock and are at least semi knowledgeable, or it seems he won't sell it to you because HE cares so much...it's true, I swear!). On top of being the nicest people, THEY are EXTREMELY knowledgeable and are willing to go the extra mile to help with anything. Oh, yeah, jsut FYI, the store is called... Fish and Other Icthy Things, in Oldsmar, FL Yay. First post! Link to comment

Rocket Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ive only got 2 zoa's so far and both have come from Nano-reef.com members. I'm going to try my LFS since most of his stuff is browned out, I might get it at a lower price and just bring it back to health. Link to comment

smarsh Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Fraggle Reef.......Best stuff online...by far! I have ordered from all of them and Miguel at Fraggle Reef wants to please the customer. $39.00 shipping no matter what you get. he likes to throw in extra frags as well as give you more then what you ordered. Last week I ordered some purple candy cane listed as 9.99 per polyp. I got a 5 head colony for 9.99 with a rainbow montipora as a freebie, at my door in less then 24hrs. Placed another order and he emailed me to make sure he wasnt sending the same freebee in the next order. Great Customer Service! Link to comment
