Aquarium stores

[Kayden]

Where do you buy your supplies—such as food, minerals, or substrate? I’ve been reading about it, and many people seem to have go-to places for buying things online, but I’m not sure where to start.

I got an Innovative Marine kit that includes all the basics; I bought it from the AquaCave website (I’m not sure if it’s a good site, as there are a lot of conflicting opinions on forums).

Sorry if any word or phrase is unclear; I’m using an English-to-Spanish translator.

Great day

For dry goods, I still like Bulk Reef Supply, and lately I've had very good luck with SaltwaterAquarium.com. I am one and done trying to purchase livestock from SA.com, but for dry goods they have been very good, in my experience. Fast and free shipping; I just got a 40 pound bag of sand shipped to me for free, and it was on my doorstep in like three days.

Pero para productos secos es BRS o saltwater?

Bulk Reef Supply and Saltwater Aquarium are my usual go-to for supplies.

I think they are both very good, I would order from whichever had the best price on what you need

Ive bought from Aquacave a few time. I had no issues, and would buy from them again.

1.Bulk reef supply (BRS)
2. Saltwateraquarium.com
3.top shelf aquatics (because they are close to me)

But I mostly compare prices if it big ticket items and then go with the best price, assuming it’s a vendor I've dealt with and trust.

Vi este kit y no sé si lo compro así o es mejor por separado

Bulk Reef Supply, Saltwater Aquarium and Premium Aquatics are my go to’s for dry goods. I’ve really had great service from all three, and tend to use the one that has the best price when ordering.

Yeah. Ive had great service from all 3. To be honest, ive not had a bad experience with any online fish store as of yet, and I have ordered a lot in the past 2 years.

Amazon, BRS, and occasionally Chewy (when I have a coupon for Reef Crystals).

Both have great service and quality.

I use Bulk Reef Supply, AquaCave, and a LFS that has some things if I need it in a pinch. I do think BRS used to be a lot better than they are now, but it is what it is I guess.

I have purchased from most of the well-known online vendors.

My preferred online supplier is PremiumAquatics.com because its pricing includes sales tax. The drawback is they don’t have as large an inventory as BRS or saltwateraquarium.com

My preferred online supplier is PremiumAquatics.com because its pricing includes sales tax.

Except for people like me who live in Indiana where their store is located. I have to pay sales tax.

If you have a Petco near you, check them out. The one close to me has a number of really good specialized salt water employees who have helped out a lot. They also have good deals sometimes. (I also use BSR and several online fish/invert sites.)
