Depends on what product you're talking about.

Re: coralife

Like I said, some products are good, and for some products there are better alternatives. I guess the company in general is fine, but the quality of their products vary.

Re: coralife

They carry a few top end products and they also have some bottom end products. They are even at the bottom end a few steps above what you would expect from corporate discount stores. In genear there kinda PETCO quality. Not much top end, but no real bottom end either. Definitely do not buy their digital timer.

Re: coralife

Too general. Give us a link to a SPECIFIC product, like a specific light fixture, and then we can help you out more.
