What You Can Expect From Us
- Quality Livestock – Once corals arrive at our facility we scrutinize them for hitchhikers and other unwanted parasites and algae. The corals then spend time in our quarantine and acclimation systems to ensure health and make sure they become accustomed to our system and are in the best health possible before being listed for sale.
- Fast Shipping – When your order is received we work as quickly as practical to get your order on its way. This entails inspecting the coral one last time to make sure it healthy and free of parasites. We then place the coral in an appropriate shipping container and carefully pack your order. Often we will either add a heat pack or cold pack to best keep your frag at an appropriate temperature during transport. At this point we create shipping labels and wait for carrier pickup ensure its safe arrival to you.
- Knowledgeable Resource – Our staff has spent years in the aquarium husbandry field and has worked diligently to document as many issues you as a reefer may experience and the best practices to mitigate them if one should occur. While the reef aquarium hobby has an immensely vast number of topics for discuss we have tried to tailor our site to the most likely issues you will encounter as a reefer.
