Purchasing coral/frags/fish

[Reef lover24]

Just wondering where you guys go to purchase coral, frags and fish.. Is there one go to spot that is well known? I live on long island and have been using Pets warehouse in Copiague they have a decent collection and fish seem to be decently healthy. Just trying to get a few ideas on good place to go that carry quality stuff.

Corals

The best place to get frags or even colonies is to go to the for sale or trade forum. They are plenty of sales in LI. If u want a one stop shop and don't mind the drive, Pop corals, or Kris from aquatic direct. Pm me if u are interested in there numbers.

+1 for the Marketplace - nothing will beat your fellow reefer pricewise, you may be able to swing a trade instead of paying cash, and meeting and swapping frags is well and truly the lifeblood of this hobby.

As for stores, there are several very good ones not just on Long Island but all over the region. It's a question that seems to come up every few weeks - searching the forum can give you a much bigger list than I can off the top of my head. The Search tab is with the rest of the tabs close to the top of the page, and will quickly give you any number of threads on the topic.

Tropical Island and Aquarium Village are both sponsors and not far from PW and both are great stores with great selections.
