Buying Corals online.

Azilla · #1 03-10-2005, 11:22 PM

Hey all im kinda in a spot i live in a crap ass city called Prince George and i have a reef but its impossible to get livestock (( corals )) Only place i order from was JL cuz they update there stock page online alot. Is there any other places online? Even other online place i will send the what i am looking for and they say there pages will be updated but i fail to see them. By then all corals are sold. I have offered to buy many things that people sell in the buy and sell that i really want but its always the same answer that they dont want to ship to me. Livestock and equiptment always the same. Which makes me have to pay full price on things and i miss out on great things. So what im looking for really is any online stores that will ship or even people that will ship frags and such. I know there is alot of people that run frag tanks out of there homes. Just crappy for me cuz i have no locals to trade with. Or does anyone know how to order a box of corals??? cuz i would buy a box.

Prices seem pretty expensive there would you say? Really nice stuff though.

Hey! Don't bash Pigs Gorge! It holds a special place in my heart (I grew up there)!

I hear ya though for trying to buy stuff there, it is a total joke! My brother from P.G. is thinking about setting up a reef, so I am going to take him on a field trip to J&L and ocean aquatics. How do you like them P.G. LFS? My brother said he was in one of them and there was about 20 anemones all kinds of species under fluorescent lights all dying. When he suggested that maybe they should use MH, they were like "oh no, they are way too expensive"!

Other then J&L, Ocean Aquatics is probably the next best place to get stuff online.

everything outside of the coast is much more costly. We are lucky for how little we pay for everything. We however pay the price by having lower quality livestock to0 choose from most the time. We do get gems in the rough but they can be far and few between.
