Aquaticscapes?

FishLvR · Jul 23, 2025

New tank builder all over Facebook. Profile seems legit. However, I asked him several times if he had an actual LLC and if he was active here. Said he responded via messages, which I didn't have set up. Set it up no message. He finally links to website. Website is generic, but well laid out. Address goes to nowhere, it's an intersection. Name is also the same as a well known supplier out of Seattle so I was a little confused. He is not responsive at all to comments on his "ads". The photos don't link to any one else's stuff so. I mean I would like to get a quote but man this one stinks, also has a really insane TOS on website. Warranty seems OK. Instagram and facebook all new including site. Anyone know anything about this one, or is in GA and can go check out this supposed store front. It says they have hours.

This is why I hate Facebook groups for reef. Full of scammers.

I'm unfamiliar with the company by name, and I'm not on the Facebook. Do they accept payment by PayPal, where you'd have buyer's protection?

I'd have to look, but I'm pretty sure there's members here on R2R that create and ship 'scapes. If you can connect with one of them, at least you would be dealing with an R2R member.

I'll add, I've never been an aquascaper, I've always been a "rock stacker". But I recently tried my hand at a glued up 'scape, and it took me DAYS, and I'm still not sure I love it, but I'm pretty sure I could do better now that I've done it once. Have you thought about creating your own 'scape?

Good luck!!

Aquarium builder in GA with the exact same name as Germany aquascapers and a huge supply company in Seattle. Should I take the bait and see what happens?

Tank builder. I know it's weird right? But the tanks look good.

I can’t find them. It tries to redirect me to aquatic escapes instead. I would be cautious of spending that kind of money on a tank when there seems to be little information about them.

Not really I was just curious. He is all over my Facebook feed. It's pretty elaborate scam then if he bothered to make a website.
