I know I'm always interested in seeing how peoples orders do when ordering live aquaria so I can base ordering decisions on their experiences.
I received the 30-90 reef package, 2 anemones, and a yellow tang yesterday. Very beautiful stock and excellent packaging.
Highly recommended.
Unfortunately they sent a monster sized sally lightfoot crab and a tiny little coral banded shrimp, so suffice it to say a pair of tentacles was all that was left of the CBS today. No guarantee coverage on that since you must return the specimen for a store credit. I doubt the tentacles would suffice :) Minor detail though and still I came out FAR ahead of what I would pay at a LFS store.
Saltwaterfish.com met all 3 special requests for anemone, tang size, and shipping date.
Stock very healthy.
This is my 2nd order shipped to Michigan and I've had great success from this company both times.
Highly recommended.
Good luck.

I've gotten most all my stock (2 tanks) from ***********.com; you are saying saltwaterfish.com has great stock and guarantee?
Please advise - I'd sure like to try cuz shipping is less that ***********...

you do realize that saltwaterfish.com is a fish web site that sells live goods and the LAq is a competitor

I haven't ordered from liveaquariua specifically because of the fact that they are higher priced than a couple other reputable sites.
I am sure they probably have nice healthy stock too though. That's a great site.
I have been very impressed with my orders from here so far, but have not yet had use of the guarantee. I personally would have no problem with a credit on a future order, however. And the guarantee is better than most local fish stores. The fact that I didn't need to use the guarantee after two PLENTIFUL orders shipped cross-country should tell ya something too.
The stock has been outstanding. Plump, vibrant, and very healthy. Always acclimated easy and never any trouble with disease. Of course alot of that comes with knowing what you're doing when you get the order too.
But I don't use their drip acclimation. I have an old fashioned method that has never failed me.
Check it out. If you haven't ordered from here it is deff worth a try at about a third of the local fish store costs at most places. Just try to order the hardiest stuff possible. I still try to get very delicate items or items I prefer to see first locally.
Good luck!
