Anyone ever bought from this place?

[Reef-junky]

Never heard of it but love these rocks.

 

[bdesign]

I have and was happy with the quick shipping.
Although, I am not too far from there, so it may be different for you.

 

[The Aquatic Arsenal]

Yes I have in the past. I typically get my frozen foods from there.

I've never bought rock or coral from them but I've been buying my dry goods from them since the mid/late 90's. I would put them in the same league as BRS. They just don't market themselves like the others do. The couple of times I've had issues with items they have been very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. They are even better for me now since they aren't required to collect sales taxes for Texas since I'm assuming they don't meet the sales requirements.

 

[Reef-junky]

Good to know then i’m Definitely buying rock from there.

 

[Mical]

Awesome folks. Prompt and always willing to help.

You've actually got me thinking now. They used to have some really nice live rock back in the 90's. Now that I'm thinking about it, I may have actually ordered a box of fiji branch rock since I couldn't buy it locally.

 

[jolt]

Always had great experience with premium Aquatics

 

[flsalty]

That's man made rock and has been known to crumble. Hope you get a good batch.

 

[Reef-junky]

Tons of rock is man made these days with the shipping ban going on.

There is no shipping ban on real rocks. Use whatever you want. I just think the name is misleading and I've seen people complain about crumbling.

Oh really

 

[flsalty]

Yes, really. That is only for live rock from Fiji. There are like a half dozen sources of live rock from Florida. There are also many sources of real dry rock that is not man-made, as well as aquacultured live rock (dry rock that has been added to a system so it can grow bacteria and coralline). All of that can be shipped, at least domestically.

Yeah

tonga branch
pukani
fuji

All gone more and more man made rock is popping up. When you search online your options are limited. Never thought the rock wasn’t man made as they state it is.

I highly recommend Premium Aquatics. Been doing business with them for a couple of decades - great folks.

 

[Zohar78]

over the past 2 years ive done I think 3 or 4 orders.. prompt and fast, reliable, and you get exactly what you order and their descrption says. Pricing typically similar/same as the other two big name online sites.

 

[Sashaka]

Agree. Always had good luck with Premium Aquatics orders. Prompt, reasonably priced, and well packaged. They sell live fish too, but my experience is with dry goods only.

 

[Reef-junky]

Yeah those rocks will go with my rock wall really well. Man made

 

[Devaji]

I have got real reef rock from them a cpl times now. there great company been around for a long time. I did not get the branch rock tho let us know what you get I want to see it

 

[MrWheelock]

Check out the tropic eden tonga like rock from premium aquatics, looks better than the real reef and way better than the carib sea rock. If you're looking for branch at least.
