AquaSD?

[rja]

Is AquaSD a legit site? How is everyone's experiences there? Just curious, never ordered coral before, but they seem to have some nice deals.

They are legit. A sponsor here in fact.

Good, they aren’t too crazy with the fluorescent pics…a lil liberal with the names, but I think its a inherited thing from thier sources
*you might notice almost identical frags named differently
I haven’t gotten any pest, great luck with LPS a lot less so with acro frags (which isn’t unexpected)

Solid vendor. I have placed many orders with them over the past couple of years. Another order coming later this month. I think I have only had 3-4 corals that arrived in bad conditions or dead(acros), but they quickly issued store credits for them. They have always been great with communication, easy to reach via email and telephone. Corals always arrived pests free as well.

Legit but I'd be wary of their zoas.

They are awesome. I just got my coral shipment from their last live sale. Super well packed and corals all look fantastic!

 

[ajnies]

Great site. Great vendor.

Check out their clearance page, you can find some great deals.

Care to elaborate? I have three that do well including a freeby.

Their images look too cooked for me to buy with confidence but that's a problem I have with most vendors in this digital age.

I can say with confidence... on the blastos and hammers at least that the colors show the same in my tank under XR30s

 

[Reefing102]

Agreed. Legit vendor. A little overzealous editing with the pics to get certain colors to “show” and my own personal issue was the overall frag size but still a legit vendor who works hard and has good customer service

Search zoa spiders.

Search zoa spiders.

Now that you mention it I do remember reading that in reviews a few years back. Didn't realize it still might be an issue.

seems to me like a lot of their coral is wild which i have had issues with in the past. but in my new system i practice religiously dipping before putting into my tank.

Legit vendor and probably one of the better ones... but I think you nailed my only concern. Most of their coral is harvested from reefs and not necessarily tank raised. I order from them..and in fact have an order arriving in a few days. But their corals have the issues you would expect from ocean harvested corals. Follow best practices of dipping, quarantining and patience..and you should be fine.

Legit vendor. Make sure to jump on a sale or you’ll have to wait til next week :)

Occasional problem with bad algae on zoa frags. Haven't seen zoa spiders. But with zoas I always check twice also for aiptasia -- can't remember if an ASD frag came with an Aip or not. I dip in coral dip and then spray all non-polyp surfaces with peroxide.

Occasional problem with LPS, but most of the time everything looks great. Got store credits quickly for problems.

 

[JoJosReef]

P.s., half my tank is from ASD:

Just got an order from them, out of 27 frags I had one that didn’t do so well, contacted them and got a rebate for my next order. 9/10 get what see you advertised
