Here is a link for Australian members.
I have dealt with this company numerous times now, and found there service, products and price unbeatable.

im sure tons of people have heard of it, but theyre good and quick. recommended.

http://www.bigalsonline.com/

It seems to be a smaller operation than the megastores, but they seem to consistently have good sale prices.

www.fish.com

When I had a problem with an order (the connection crashed just as I hit the send button), I sent them an email and got a fast personal response.

They also let me know I had won a $50 gift certificate during a weekly drawing, which I wasn't even aware they had. So that was a nice bonus.

This is definitely the cheapest site out there hands down. They have all the same name brand products as any other site would too. I don't order from anyone else except this site.

I'll be honest, I've looked at a lot of online sites. Once you add on shipping and handling they aren't, by and large, any cheaper than my lfs. The only time I end up using them is to get something not carried locally.

[MeganL3985]

I totally agree on that one.

[cocoa_pleco]

ive bought from big als online once, but theres a big als store here and i cant stand waiting for online stuff to be shipped

[troy]

The only way you get stuff cheaper from those is if you by a large quantity of items. Is Big Al's only in Canada?

[cocoa_pleco]

i have no idea, but theres 2 stores right here in edmonton. theyre like aquarium wal-marts

[Lady Hobbs]

I totally agree on that one.

I'm responding to a past post but I wanted to tell you the difference between online and in store shopping prices.

PetSmart API test kits = 28.95 Nearly all online stores = 17.98
Python water changer (Walmarts) $32 Online $25
Dechlorinators in stores=8 oz around $8 Online quart bottles for $12-15

It doesn't take long at all to get to $50 so just wait until it's free shipping after that amount. I just like to compare shopping prices and products and in the stores, you're at the mercy of what they carry and how much they want to charge.

good deals on a lot of items

[AquaQueen]

I have bought stuff from DrsFosterSmith.com I dont buy it online though they have many ways to buy things you can buy online but I use checks and money orders so i dont ever buy online. They have a catalog you can order to be sent to your house....I like that better. As stated before I am impatient and like you I like to go to the local stores to get what I need and Only if I Can't find something will I mail order it.

tampabaysaltwater.com - all my live rock/sand comes from here.
aquaticeco.com - 90 percent of my equipment. Well over 10,000 items.
floridadriftwood.com - 2/3rds of my driftwood.
fish2u.com - about half of my fish.
pacificeastaquaculture.com - nearly all of my corals.

Living in a LFS desert like I do, it's online or a six hour drive.

good seller and this protein skimmer is especially good. and he has a good price (paid 55$ for mine). i have it on my 33g salt and its amazing. it doubles as a filter since the output has floss and carbon, and it's a HOB design so it makes the tank look more "clean" than a submersible skimmer

[rsretep]

surprised to hear no one uses thatpetplace ....the only place for me

[Juannie]

www.aquaticlifeaquariums.com.au - their Hikari foods are a good price (better than where I live anyway), I also recommend aquariumproducts.com.au - they're great guys & always helpful

I purchased my canister filter & some corner rocky filters from James and he is very helpful with excelletn prices.
