What online store have people found to be the best to buy anything and everything at? basically anything related to the tank, minus livestock. Examples include filter socks, refractometer, Ph tester...etc.

Thanks in Advance

I like Bulk Reef Supply (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/). They are very helpful and always open to questions.
(aside from my local Marinescape of course - not much help to someone in Cali ;) )

all of the above are good but i would also add premiumaquatics.com to the list

I ordered all of the equipment for my new tank from them.

Don't forget to check for a local aquarium group. A lot of them have forums on Reef Central. I've found a considerable amount of potential items that I need for my current build on my local forums.

I use them all one would have something on sale the other wouldn't or one thing would just be cheaper at one place then another basically you should shop around

I buy from both BRS and marine depot. No problems with either place.

I buy most of my stuff from Dr fosters and smith. If you spent over $49 you get free shipping and since I"m in WI I get it the next day. When Dr F&S doesn't have what I need I get it from bulk reef supply

I usually buy from marine depot since they are 10 miles away from me. They have a will call counter.

www.fragtasticreef.com. They have free shipping with orders over $175 AND they price match.

Bulk Reef Supply

Most importantly your LFS

I don't order dry goods from doctor foster anymore because they ship smart post. Takes forever. I like petsolutions they ship super fast. I get next day for $10. That pet place is also really good. I usually go for best overall price but if it takes over a week to get something I don't order from them again.

IME, Premium Aquatics is always a little cheaper than most.
