I set up a 210 gallon 6L'x2'Wx2.5'H planet aquariums reef tank from scratch and chose to go with 100% of the stocking from Elliot with Marine Collectors. Over a period of about 5 months Elliot shipped me several orders, and replaced one that got delayed due to weather, and I can honestly say that he was truly great to work with.
Having done reefing the normal way twice before, with too many challenges I decided to invest the money and buy only 100% properly quarantined fish from a trusted source.
After researching all the choices in the market, Marine Collectors stood out in quality and excellence. I read a lot of reviews, and watched a lot of videos and the feedback was that Elliot was professional, good communication, and shipped the highest quality fish selections at high prices. Well, I can now say that's exactly how my experience was... top notch!! I highly recommend Marine Collectors. My fish are some of the nicest looking specimen and the healthiest I've ever seen. .
The one point I now totally disagree with is that the prices are high. For the quality, and not having to deal with pests, my opinion is that these fish are an excellent value. They are well worth what is being charged for them.
My live stock list is as follows in no particular order:
Melanurus Wrasse
Pair of wild caught Ocellaris Clowns
Midas Blenny
Fox Face
Pintail Fairy Wrasse
Pair of Juvenile Captive Bred Regal Angels
Juvenile Captive Bred Majestic Angel
Hawaiian Yellow Tang
Sailfin Tang
Convict Tang
Powder Blue Tang
White Tail Tang
Purple Tang
