have you purchased anything from them phoenix?
i've come across them many times and have considered adding them over and over again. morally my one rule is they have to come recommended by someone who's tried them.

i really want someone to say yes so if you have or notice someone has please let me know.

Yes, I've used them many times. Every time I had a very satisfactory experience!

Attached is the piece of ghost wood I purchased from them that I based my tank around.

EDIT: They are also the only major dart retailers in TX... that I know of.

I have not, but I found out about it because of a Canadian forum. They have operations both stateside and north of the border.

The tubes and flats are off this page: Products in category

Rainforest Station still stands as the cheapest base price for cork flats at $6/lbs.

I've ordered from Vivarium Concepts as well. I think I've only ordered tree fern panels - and maybe pots too - and their planting (substrate) mix, which has leaf litter and sphagnum moss mixed into it. Oh, and silicone (until I finally found it locally at Lowe's). I would probably order from them again. I didn't have any problems either. If I remember correctly, she shipped very quickly.

It also has cocohusk, orchid bark, those little white absorby thingys, and a white kind of moss ( not sure what... maybe reindeer)

They used to have another type that had springtails mixed in! . . . I don't know if they still offer it though.

pup... is that rainforest station pretty much more of a local shop? i think i might put together a thread for them. they're kinda more specific and would really clutter up information that most people won't be able to use.

Hmmm...mine was different, I think. It'd be great if they had the stuff with the springtails. I haven't seen it on their site.
