Has anyone purchased anything from Liveaquaria?

I was looking at Liveaquaria.com's coral packs, and I saw this:
http/www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di...cfm?pCatId=2033

Set for a nanoreef (like mine)

Any suggestions on ordering from them? Is it a good idea to order coral on-line? I've never ordered online, and I usually perfer to see before I buy.

How does it work anyway? they ship overnight? what if Im not at home?

the same goes for their clean-up crew pack too.

Liveaquaria is my favorite site to order from. I have never had a poblem. They do uphold there 14 day gaurentee. I would order when I knew I would be home, as to not leave it on the front porch all day.

I have heard nothing but good things about liveaquaria.

However, when it comes to cleanup crews, Reeftopia has the very best deals and are very good people to work with.

Thanks guys

I was hestant on ordering things live online. I'll order the nano reef pack (though none of the corals clowns could host in. oh well)

Also I decided to do this because the prices are cheap (corals in my LPS is like 40 US dollars each!)

I ordered from them and am really happy! I didn't order the nano pack, but a separate toadstool leather mushroom and some snails (and the goby). I followed their acclimation procedures and everything settled into the tank very well.

I've been doing more research.

Im thinking about getting the pumping Xenia, and/or a leather mushroom (Sarcophyton). Im leaning towards the mushroom because my clowns could host if they decide to.

Thanks for the feedback

is there any certain way you can get clowns to change their hosts? I recently bought a toadstool mushroom as well. (month and half now) is about 6-7 inches in diameter but clown shows no interest in it. my clown likes to still mess with a stripped watermellon mushroom. the mushroom is starting to show signs of stress

Did you find the leather mushroom on the liveaquaria website? I have looked for one on there before and can't find it....sorry, newbie here, so it could be right in front of my face and I wouldn't know it.

I have no idea about clowns changing their host. I guess its entirely up to them.

and yes, I found the leather mushrooms on liveaquaria.com. Search for Sarcophyton, thats how I found it.

I've never ordered any SW things from LiveAquaria yet (still setting up my SW tank, probably won't be done til end of summer - )

BUT, I have ordered FW plants from them, and let me say, they were better than anything I've gotten elsewhere. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful plants, and very nice quality. I think they have a big coral facility that they're building in Wisconsin, so whenever that is done, I will surely pay it a visit.

Just a redundant reply.....ordered twice from them and fish/service were excellent. SH
