Our group went in to this thing knowing what the out come might be and we only made that choice from what we read. So information is power!

Are you guys doing community service?

It will take a lot more than just one order that goes great to fix his reputation. Fragalot has been doing bad business for years. The negative reviews are not just on canreef. Do a bit of research and you will find them on other reef sties as well. It blows my mind that some people are still willing to throw their money away when there are some great sponsors on here.

Not to mention the amount of advertising he is getting from this thread. We do have many very good places to order from that do pay for the right to advertise on our forum.

I,m just saying.

If our vendors had some of the zoas he has listed / pictured available I would be all over them, like white on rice.

I bought a skimmer from Aquarium Illusions about two weeks ago Reef Octopus BH-2000 very good skimmer was sucking crap out after 24 hours They gave me a great price and service was awesome...... I will some day order from Red Coral, I saw a post recently about them shipping I think into Ontario, so service shouldn't be a problem...... Maybe we should throw out some good reviews about paying sponsers until more feed back comes in from the people reporting... beats the in fighting that's flairing up....

I just got a Reef Octopus RPS-3000 RC ( not from a vendor though ) it was sucking crap out in just a few hours, very happy with it.

Hey i'm one of the first to share my money around with locals and mail order from across Canada.I agree with supporting locals but when your local stores have a limited poor selection we have to look else where. This is where the risk is waived on by because if we get bad stuff from him its no better from our local lfs. So hence its worth a try.

Well, to be fair, it isn't entirely throwing our money away... we did get most of the frags we ordered (with a promise that the rest will follow) and the majority are in good health and doing well... so it's not entirely fair to say that it's "throwing our money away". And, truthfully, it's the $10/frag deal that got me interested to begin with. I mean, it doesn't represent a huge investment if things go down the tubes. Also, please bear in mind that I live in Newfoundland - I'd love to order from the vendors you mention but they are all out West for the most part and I haven't had great experiences with shipping livestock all the way across the country (limited experience admittedly) and fragalot is in Ontario.

Not offended at all....although you'd think my fame on here should of preceded me, and you'd know who I was

j/k of course

So I've so far had no luck in getting a response to my emails regarding having him ship the remainder of the frags we ordered that weren't in the first shipment..... starting to sound kind of familiar....

Same old same old... how are the ones you got making out?
