Just purchased my first corals from online!

tslabaugh · #1 01/30/2007, 10:16 PM

The last few days I have been addicted to the extreme corals site and today I finally gave in. I had some cash so I figured why not!?

I bought:

an ORA green birdnest
an ORA super orange montipora digitata
and a neon green leather

I'm excited!

When you get them in let us know how you think ordering on line is. I haven't done it yet because I am nervous about bringing something into my tank that could be carring something that could hurt my tank. But I like the idea of the many options you have ordering online. My loca LFS doesn't have a big selection.

I was only convinced to order from Extreme corals cause it is "what you see is what you get" and they seem to have extremely good feedback. I don't think I'd ever order a fish online cause I like to see how they act before I buy em!

Me and the lovely wife have been to Extreme corals in Dallas and their facility was very impressive. Lots of eye candy. They let us check out the behind the scenes stuff! They were really nice.

here are pics. I'll get some more after I get them and they open up in my tank!

They had a few of the birdnest and Montipora so my shapes may vary! lol

I am not real fond of the frag plugs they were attached to...but whatever. Makes finding a spot to put them a pain!

they look great!!!

Steven Beck · #17 02/02/2007, 06:14 AM

Very nice.

How was the buying on-line experience?

tslabaugh · #18 02/02/2007, 10:13 AM

Thanks! It was a good experience. The corals were packaged extremely well. Everything looks just like it did on their site! They even sent me an email after they found out the package had been delivered to do a follow-up and make sure everything was okay. Of course, I try to buy stuff locally when I can, but if I had to buy online again it would definately be from them!

Steven Beck · #19 02/03/2007, 12:57 AM

Thats cool, I have been contiplating on buying from online but
haven't really wanted to risk having everything die in shipping
or not getting what I thought I was getting.

You know total paranoia. lol.

JohnLe712 · #20 02/03/2007, 01:52 AM

Steven Beck · #21 02/03/2007, 02:51 AM
