I find it odd that there seems to be one or two of these a week. New member, first post “is so and so website legit?” Always some totally unheard of site. No offense meant if this an honest person and question. It’s just that it’s kinda a weird trend and almost like these are on purpose to direct traffic for some odd reason….but I guess I’m one of those tinfoil hat conspiracy peeps

Tinfoil hat won’t protect us anymore, we’re long past 1984 and it’s only getting worse.

It hasn't been that far back that I had a customer bring a car into work and had foil strips attached to the car and hanging down. She said they couldn't track her if she was grounded. It was interesting.

Didn’t mythbusters do an episode similar to this? Maybe they were trying to do something on radar detectors and the tinfoil failed the radar test lol

Buying aquascape materials there but it seems sus
they may be legit may not, but looking at their hyper inflated prices and the scammy discount sales I wouldn’t do it. Now the tinfoil hat is on

Not sure, I only watched the show a few times. It was pretty funny but I actually felt bad for her. I couldn't imagine what it would be like trying to function day to day with that type of paranoia.

The contact email address [email protected] listed on the site comes up on a LOT of different sites from auto parts, food to home goods, even a liquor site.
aquasaltwater.com is another under this email.

Definitely a SCAMMER hitting multiple industries.

Unless they have really upgraded the place I would say scam site. This is the address they have listed,

Looks about right - I used to buy fish from a Detroit wholesaler (continental aquatics) that was in a building just like this, but a bit larger. No sign, no nothing. They had a video doorbell system to let you in (back in 1981!) The guy had a puma that guarded the place at night.
