Looking for small scale coral farms

[ti_lavender]

I’ve ordered a few times from Rudy at Golden Basket Reef

I’d order more but I’m out of space in my tank.

Thank you all so much. I currently have 5 full shopping carts. Now to just narrow it down. I will probably order friday of next week so I can mull over my decisions.

Search SeaCo Specials on Facebook. Nico is my neighbor a subdivision away. I’ve bought several times from him. Great guy and great prices. I know he ships but can not comment on that as I just drive 5 min to his place

I know he has been low on stock over the holidays but he’s currently trying to set up new frag tanks. He seems pretty responsive on Facebook or messenger

Any other suggestions?

I've had good luck from members here in the livestock for sale forum.

I don't want to buy from here, or Facebook people. I want to support the businesses and people who started something from a hobby. My hobby was reptiles and started a small business, that I paid taxes on when I was 16 until I went away for college. I just want to support those who took a similar step. No offense really to anyone who sells it out of their basement like me.

While not a very small company, Pacific East Aquaculture is a family ran company and has been around a long time.
The Doctor that owns it, is a great guy and very willing to help.
They also stock some very nice livestock, and their photos are realistic. I also believe this is why they do not get as much hype as some of the vendors who photoshop the hell out of coral photos.

I feel like most small businesses don't "over sell" their coral with edited photos usually because it is a few people not a team

While I agree that many of the large coral vendors heavily edit, there image just as many small shops (and hobbyists) that hit the saturate button....
