I'm a person who is very loyal, and I like to support local business...therefore I buy stuff from Russ @ Saltwatercritters.com and manhattan aquariums here in the city. I have to say though, lately, manhattan aquariums hasn't been cutting it. Every time I go in there the coral selection is pretty bad or its been reserved for their service clients.

So where do you buy from? I typically don't buy online because of the shipping costs.

I feel like I need to start looking though, unless manhattan aquariums decides to clean up their act a bit.

We all like to support our LFS. But when getting coral it's pretty hard getting good stuff. Simply Mariculture is out there. Their nice but are harder to adapt. When coming to get SPS its better getting them from someone that has than growing and can frag them. Plenty of members here sell or trade here. Just keep checking Market. Also good place to meet some good people.

ACC has very nice coral at more than fair pricing if special is running and the guys in the shop are very friendly and knowledgable. If say the majority of coral that has been in my tanks the last few years has been from people on this forum though

Pops and Coral Theory in BK, Aquarium Village in Westbury, Buying off other reefers, Fish Town USA in Queens has some great prices sometimes. I'd recommend this place only during a sale

Manhattan has always been good but even after really gentle acclimation, the last few things i bought from their died within a week, with the exception of 1 acan.

Fish Town USA and Kissena Aquarium in Queens have some nice finds sometimes, can be hit or miss. Aquarium Village in Westbury has a huge selection, been a real fan of them lately. Tropical Island Aquarium in Deer Park is great too, but it's a bit of a hike from the city.
