I was researching corals and I came They have some beautiful corals, but I know nothing about the company. ChatGPT says they're a reputable company, but that's AI. What's everyone's experience if there's any with this company. It looks like they're from New York.
 
No experience with them, but when I can't find a phone number, email address, or mailing address on their website, until I hear a positive experience I'm out.
They have some corals I want, but until I hear good things and get my phosphates stable and let my coral I have already grow out I'm not ordering anything or falling in love with anything.

Tropical island aqaurium is a local store to me. I live on an island so things are naturally expensive here, but this store is immaculately kept, and the prices in store are excellent. I regularly miss out winning his auctions because I fall asleep, I just go to the store next day and he will give me a piece anyway for a price. All the tanks are very clean and everything in store is labeled with a price on the tank or on a master list in the front of the store. The owner is very personable and remembers my face even if I disappear for a few months. I have zero complaints about this store other than it should be a little closer to my home! If you want, and he will allow it, I'll video a walkthrough of his store.
 
Placed a couple of orders from them. They are an outstanding,reputable company to deal with! Beautiful,healthy coral. Packaged very carefully, great communication. I would order from them again without hesitation.
 
I was wondering about them as well. Good to see someone close to them give us a little insight

Please do. I'm on a six month break from buying things, but they have a really cool torch that I like. Probably won't buy it as I'm trying to grow out my coral and stabilize my phosphates.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding
