Starting back up where to go

[sobe]

I have bought saltwater fish from King eds unfortunately sad to say none have survived a month or two even though prices there were better back when dollar was still good. I'd go to J&L if I'd want to buy fish. I don't have experience with other lfs for salty fishes.

If you are looking for corals, best bet is to go through fellow reefers for the basics as it cost less. I know we should support our local lfs but I can't justify spending big bucks on a frag that can be had for 1/4 or 1/3 of a price.
Unless you are looking for hard to find stuff.
