Beano1169 · #1 08-23-2012, 03:31 PM

Hey all Im kinda new to reefing but I want to grab some Livestock from J&L aquatics. I was reading their shipping info and came across a 60$ shipping fee with purchase from 0-100 bucks. I was blown away, I want some cheapo cleanup crew items for now so I was wodnering if anyone would want to go in on this order. If you have had experiance with J&L I wouldnt mind knowing about the "procedures" so to speak of pick up and delivery. I dont drive at the moment so I would probs need UPS service down south.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, and If you are down with ordering some things let me know.

Livestock shipping is always very expensive :P

Why don't you just head down to gold's and grab some cuc. They are very cheap

I was told golds was either shut down or only did cichlids? If thats not the case I would be down to go there except I would need to know the bus route, seeing as how I have no ride/car at the moment

Nop gold's is not closed yet (I went there during last week of last month). And yes they are only specialized in cichlids + saltwater too :P And they are C H E A P! I will be getting a green bta + a cleaner shrimp + some other cool stuffs (probably corals) from them when I come back next week. Plus I will give you a knock for the pompom too

I think 307 goes there from downtown.

hahah cool sounds aesome Ill have to check them out. And I have bad news about the Pom-pom. At my store Iam unable to bring in saltwater anymore

because the last ship ment had quite a few DOA and it chopped into the budget hard so my "higher-ups" wont let me bring saltwater fishys into the store anymore I was devestated.

I would head to Big Al's.... Andrew there (originally from Pisces) is a great guy with some excellent contact for bringing in livestock others are NOT. I have actually started buying there alot.

Selection has been great, and finally pricing is also excellent. Bought my last 4 wrasses there.

Golds is fairly cheap, but I find there selection limited now. Dennis seems to be more into chichlids than salt. But what he does have are priced great, and he will always sell you a healthy fish that is eating.

I still can believe you are going back to Big Al's Rick after your boycott a few yrs back.
