Post Online Stores you have used int he past and liked~~~~~~~

Getting back into the hobby after a few years and would like an update on online stores people like. Thanks
Please list all online stores that you have ordered from and would like to order from. Make sure you list the ones you ordered from if you liked/disliked them and why.
The stores you would like to order from the same. Thanks

Bluezooaquatics~ I ordered four anemones from them, they are all alive and doing good. Also the WYSIWYG pictures they use are spot on.

Dry goods (except salt)-BRS
Drs Foster & Smith-Salt

We've been a part of a few CCritters private and group buys and have been super happy with them...we have recieved a few DOA's and they immediately refunded us, even though they sent a bunch of extra stuff for free.

Marine and Reef - equipment. Items ship from Tempe so if you need to replace a piece of equipment in a hurry you can sometimes get your replacement in a day.

I've bought locally at RC, AT, AA, and Aquarius. Online, for dry goods I really trust Marine Depot and Premium Aquatics. Never made a bad purchase at either and the customer service is top flight. Onlive I've gone with DFS Divers Den but I usually don't purchase much livestock online unless I see something really unusual.

I used them once.... it was fast but i felt retarded to ship something across the city. I called and asked if I can do local pick up.
