  1. Beware - Worldwide Pet Supply is now Pet Fanatic

    They moved the store and reopened under a new name. Any orders from PetFanatic.com are really from WWPS.com. This place is terrible to deal with. Don't get stuck by the name change thinking it is a new place.
  2. What fish are in you reef???

    Foxface and niger trigger. Kind of odd combo but they haven't touched a thing (yet).
  3. Are fish from Bali better than from other places?

    I didn't buy the flame. That was just the price they were charging. I walked out without getting anything. I thought flames were found in other places besides Hawaii so I didn't think anything of it when I was told the flame they had was from Bali. After hearing the pitch from them about how...
  4. Are fish from Bali better than from other places?

    Let me get this straight. Fish from Bali are cheaper and poorly collected. 2 of the LFS by me are saying how great they are and the prices have gone up considerably for the so called "best" fish. Here is an example. A flame angel used to be $50. Now since it is a flame angel from the...
  5. Are fish from Bali better than from other places?

    All of a sudden some of the LFS by me are carrying nothing but "Bali" fish. They claim these are the hardiest and best fish you can get. Are fish from Bali handled as well as those from the Red Sea and Australia? What is going on? They are praising fish from this area while they raise the price...
  6. Please read and temporarily boycott eBay!

    Since their rules are NO animals, then corals should not be allowed since they are animals. My problem is they are setting a double standard. Buying thru E-Bay is basically the same as via MO except for the shipping difference. No MO company is going to send you corals via ground shipment...
  7. Please read and temporarily boycott eBay!

    JustPhish, I think I may have been vague on my post. I don't think E-bay should allow the sale of corals since they are animals and I don't think that shipping them for 2-3 days is good. They should go overnite. My reference to you was to clarify that you were a LFS and not an individual...
  8. what about this rock ???????

    The carved tufa would be fine. A LFS by me carries it. I used it on a 20 high a while back with no problems. It takes a lot longer to get any coverage to it. If you get some, rinse it for a long time. It gets dusty when little pieces break off.
  9. Please read and temporarily boycott eBay!

    I'll jump in here. I don't think E-Bay should allow the sale of corals since they are animals. I also think that corals should never sit in bags for 2 to 3 days to save on shipping costs. That being said, I live in CT and Just Phish is a LFS. Here is their website in case anyone wanted to...
  10. Any good lfs in Connecticut?

    Forget about House of Fins unless you want to take out a mortgage to buy a damsel. They are astronimical as far as pricing.
  11. Any good lfs in Connecticut?

    Paragon isn't too far from Hartford. Other than that, you have Coral Reef Imports on the Post Road in Milford, and then on the other end of the state there is Reef and Fin in Stamford. Not too many to choose from in this state.
  12. How many corals in your tank?

    11 corals in a 72. Do dusters count? Got 5 of them as well. What about clams?
  13. What type of naso tang was this?

    I was watching a show on TV last nite about places to go diving. When they showed one area in Hawaii, the camera zoomed in on the best looking naso I had ever seen. The ones at the LFS never look like this one. It had long streamers on the tail, really dark coloring, and the part that caught my...
  14. Sand Bed Boost

    This is not the first time a rude reply to a question came from IPSF. I emailed them a question a few months back asking if the macro pack would be enough to get to grow in my tank if snails, crabs, and fish sampled it. I wanted to get an estimate on how big it wasbefore I spent the money. Their...
  15. CT Reefers ---LOOK---

    Not too bad. CRI - A little shady? That's an understatement. This might help. Here is what I saw when I was at the Norwalk Aquarum. Norwalk Aquarium - very small selection - dirty tanks - overpriced. I would also drop the numbers for Marine Imports in Shelton down a little. I stopped by last...
