One Reef

Hi all,

I just wanted to inform you of helpful tool I put together for the reef community. It's a database of close to 200 online vendors that sell livestock and drygoods. Basically I spent the last 2 years scouring, cataloging and building a site that I hope will help bring better buying info to us all. It's the least I could do for all the help I've received from reefkeepers all over the Internet.

I'd love to hear some feedback, hope it is as useful to you as it is to me.

Glad you like it. Now all it needs are reviews and ratings by the community. That will truly make it a useful tool.

That's pretty cool, and a great start. I like the idea of being able to rate the e-tailers. Have you considered adding a section based on shipping prices? I didnt see anything there, but that's one piece of information that can sway who I'm buying from (especially on livestock).

crvz,

It does not have the exact shipping price, but you can search for vendors who offer free shipping deals. Are you looking for something that shows how much you need to spend to get free shipping or is it something like 1 day rates vs ground rates.

Also, when you rate a vendor you can specifically call out a rating for thier shipping, which would include rates and speed.
