JKUNZ Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I haven't given a review for a vendor in the 14+ years that I've been keeping reef tanks, but as with many of us, I've bought coral from countless local and online vendors - This is the first time I've been inclined by such good service to post a review. CherryCorals happens to be local to me, about 25 minutes away. I ordered corals again from him a few months back, and due to time constraints, asked him to ship them. I was very pleased when they arrived that they showed up in small plastic cups within their bags to help protect them, all within very good insulation bags within the boxes. I acclimated them, and moved on, and all was well and still is with the coral. Last week I took Todd (Cherry of CherryCorals) up on his offer to have me by his warehouse. Within he has quite a few 400+ gallon coral tanks throughout the warehouse, all beautifully kept. I snapped one picture, below, of one of the many tanks (this one with mostly acans and blastos). I picked up a handful of items, including bicolor frogspawn, blastos, zoas, and a golden hammer (all now in my 28 NC). His coral was amazing, and as I saw there, he only lists a very small percentage of his coral on his website. In talking with him, you'll quickly find out that he's a true enthusiast and very passionate, and stands behind his coral. You will get what you pay for from him - and it's beautiful stuff. His level of service was astounding. If you haven't checked them out, take the time to do so - he really does have some great stuff. Link to comment

Slowtwitch Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The shop is about 90 mins from me. I need to make it a point to get there someday. This makes me want to get there sooner than later. Link to comment

This makes me want to get there sooner than later. Just call ahead of time - well worth the visit. He doesn't have "open to the public" hours, but in my experience, is open for walk-in visits with a little notice. To be honest, I can't see myself buying coral from anywhere else moving forward.

Marc.The.Shark Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 +1, been there a few times myself, I'm about 20mins away. Can't beat his livestock & selection is awesome, as well as service. I always find more to buy than I need!! lol Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Great post and thanks for the review. I am in Colorado but originally from Flint, Mi. So I travel back on occasion and I was wanting to stop by and hand pick some acros for them to ship to me. Sounds like it's worth the visit ? Link to comment
