Dave ESPI Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 ok, For all those who have no idea what a TRANSHIPPER is, they are the ones responsible for getting your tank inhabitants from the Ocean to point a,b,c,d, to a Retail store/ online Co, to your tank GLOBAL MARINE TRANSHIPPERS in RAMSEY N.J. is one of my fave places to deal with. They are OWNER/OPERATOR and have dive crews and collection stations in FIJI, PALAU (and BARNETT has an AWESOME house there also) the RED SEA, Florida, and Thailand. the fish are healthy, corals are well treated, and the sick are quarintined as often as possible. here are some pics..... The Stats are: 8400 Gal salt fish 3200 Gal inverts 2200 Gal misc. 5000 Gal intermediate zone "hospital" 1800 Gal Live rock cure. a MASSIVE 18 foot tall Skimmer and 14,000 watts of U/V OMG F*N SICK ! Hope ya like. need I say more? Try picking out 10 Blue damsels you like out of 2000 in one tank.... Uhh YEAH... I want.... uhh.... THAT ONE ! TFF yeah right.... Scoop and pray.

Sahin Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 WOW. Loads of coral tank... yum yum. That would be a small dream come true if I could go into one of those places and pick my fav corals. Link to comment
Leonard Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 LA has half a dozen large wholesalers (4 on one street for that matter). Underwater world is one of the smaller ones. The larger ones are mind blowing .... some nearly as large as football fields. Not sure what Global Marine's policies are, but most reputable wholesalers will not sell retail. Sorry to burst many people's bubble Link to comment
