buying aquarium stuff online - Aquarium Advice

04-29-2005, 09:14 AM

Can we start a list of suggested sites to buy aquarium stuff from? It has to be a site that you bought something from, you can put your input. Here is a WONDERFUL site for buying live plants: http://www.freshwateraquariumplants.com/
I have ordered plants from them multiple times and they've always been in perfect condition, they even added a few extras when my order was late! The prices are very competative as well.
Anybody else know of good aquarium buying websites?

I second that, the only problem is the week long shipping, and thats a SMALL problem. I use them all the time.

I dislike BigAl's for their shoddy customer service. I'm a fan of www.drsfostersmith.com www.aquariumplants.com www.amekaaquatics.com www.premiumaquatics.com

Isn't this covered in "General Retailers" under "Buy-Sell-Trade"? I mean, I certainly don't care if there's a thread as well, but isn't it more helpful to keep all the info together?

Thats a good point, it is REALLY bad. One time I forgot to sign in so I could get my VIP points so I politely asked if they could still be added to my account. I got an Email back that just said no and they even pasted in a picture of the "Sign in to my account" button from their site. Amazing, huh? But ****, its hard to beat those prices.

Aquatraders is shady as ****, no one answers their phones and no one emails you back and their website is broken in parts.
