What’re some some quality online sites to order parts, fish, or inverts from? I only have a couple local fish stores but want a little more variety for my tank. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I’m sorry for your experience! I’ve never had that issue before with themFollowing because I still need a new vendor--I ordered a new return pump on the 11th from saltwateraquarium.com, USPS (post office) tracking info says a label was created but they never received product from vendor. Saltwateraquarium.com customer service told me they ship thousands of orders via USPS in a big commercial truck every day (so clearly they don't need my business), and that USPS often skips scans "this time of year." Meanwhile they changed the pump's status to "out of stock", and told me I can't get a refund until the 24th. Really crappy customer service, and they're completely wasting my time, will never order from them again.
If anyone has other recommendations for equipment vendors (not BRS, not Saltwateraquarium.com), I would love to hear them. This part of the hobby is what's most likely to make me leave--equipment failures every few months plus forever-waits for parts.

Saltwateraquarium.com I love to use for parts and inverts. They have a rewards program. Free gifts to choose from on every order too. I’ve got Christmas ornaments, neon acrylic frag stands, coral viewing glasses, food samples, drip acclimation kit, all free
Very true
Browsing is dangerous lol
Are you going to run 1500+ gph or do you want a max power of 1500 and intend to run around 50%Not really. I want to see the vast majority of products so that I can filter by budget, not brand, pick a few different products to research further. then comparison shop between different online retailers since apparently they all suck in different ways. I'm mad at BRS for discon'ing all their parent company's competitors' products, since that keeps me from browsing everything on the market. Just cancelled my SAQ order, never dealing with them again because of their shipping and refund policies--I'm sorely convinced that they took my money, realized they were out of stock, then just lied to me about having shipped it (maybe hoping they could get it in stock and ship before I noticed/complained). I'm sure it'll be two weeks or more before I see my money back in hand again.
Just need a dang DC return pump that can do over 1500 gph and will arrive within a week, and costs less than a typical mortgage payment.

I’ve recently ordered a few times from aquacave and they been really good prices and shipping. I also use saltwater aquarium
