Whats you favorite ONLINE Fish Store? www.what???
Where do you guys buy your stuff for your tank online? pumps, heaters, thermometers, test kits, protein skimmers, lighting, UV sterilizers, etc.
Whats EVERYONES favorite discounted online fish store or who has the best pricing?
Trying to decide where I should use this money burning in my pocket for my new hobby and my LFS is way over priced on everything.

www.liveaquara.com no experience with them but alot of people here use them, I've heard nothing but good things
www.marinedepot.com thats where i've gotton most of my equipment, they do compete with other online stores on their price. I ordered a $280 RO/ DI unit from them, I found it for sale on another site for $249, they sold it to me for $220 after I mentioned the other site!!!!

I got a Euro-Reef skimmer from Premium Aquatics, they had great prices and service. I will more than likely order online from them again.

liveaquaria.com for fish. Their prices are not the cheapest but all livestock has a 14 day money back guarantee. (worth the extra $) Check out the weekly specials.
I have always purchased dry goods from marinedepot.com. I just ordered dry goods this week from fishsupply.com (first time) there prices are better than marinedepot. The package will be here today. They also carry livestock with a 5 day guarantee. Anyone ordered from them?

I've ordered alot of equipment from marinedepot.com. Good prices and service. I just hate they are in California. Takes a while on shipping that far. Not their fault.
I ordered my lights from reefgeek.com. OK on prices but excellent service. Also in Cal.

LiveAquaria - good for livestock. No questions asked on arive-alive guarantee. Most do arive alive and are very hardy.
Fosters and Smith/Marine Depot/Big Als - all good for "run of the mill" dry goods.
Captivereefs - great for higher end items that you want clarification on before you buy. Darin is good to talk to and gives you sound advice before buying (the 6% discount ain't bad either!)
