$75 order and up gives free shipping with just a $4.95 Fed Ex charge..

they
have a rather extensive list of critters to choose from and do have some
packages set up as well. I have noticed though that their prices seem
slightly higher than other places, I am sure it makes up for the *free*
shipping somewhat, but they do have a nice list and offer a live arrival
guarantee (just 6 days from time it leaves them though, and there ARE

some
items listed with NO GUARANTEE) They give a greatly detailed explanation

of
drip acclimating. You also really need to read their 6 Day guarantee
requirements in the *contact us* section as their rules are rather

strict
about it.

Brian, that is not a bad deal. It seems I remember someone else

offering
a $75
package with free shipping. Check with Bob Parkins here in the ng, he

should
know the vendor's name/link.

The first two shrimp are fine, I've never had the third one (fire).

Hello everyone,

I've completed curing 65 lbs. of live rock in my 55 g. aquarium.

Water
tests show ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH numbers to be at

proper
levels. I have noticed some brown algae forming in small patches

here
and
there in the aquarium. I'm assuming that now would be a good time

to
add
some snails, hermits, and such. I am going to be ordering online

due to
the
fact that the nearest petstore, that I would purchase fish/inverts

from,
is
120 miles away. Sorry, I digress. I would like to know what you

think
about the following offer in terms of price and the organisms

offered.
Also, any other recommendations for other inverts that I should

consider
for
maintaining a clean reef aquarium? Here is what That Fish Place is
offering: for 89.99 one could get 25 Blue Leg Hermits, 25 Red Leg

Hermits,
40 Margarita Snails, 10 Turbo Snails, and 2 Emerald Crabs.

I am also looking at purchasing a Cleaner (Skunk) Shrimp, Peppermint

Shrimp,
and Fire Shrimp. Any suggestions or warnings? Thanks in advance.

Brian
