Is this a good brand?

[Shook]

I want to downgrade the size of my aquarium. Does anyone here have experience using Aquacave? Specifically the IM EXT 100 Gallon. Do they ship well? Is there sump long lasting 3-4years? Has anyone had any issues with the brand Aquacave? The main concern I have is if the sumps they supply are good strong and long lasting or not.

Aquacave is a online aquarium store, they have been around a long time, and I think do a pretty good job.

The sump pictured is an Innovative Marine brand sump. You can likely order the sump directly from Innovative Marine:

Innovative Marine - Saltwater Aquariums | Stands | Supplies | United States

Innovative Marine is a premiere manufacturer of saltwater aquariums, fish tank kits, stands and supplies for freshwater, saltwater fish, reef, corals and plants. Choose from 10 to 240 Gallons.

Good luck!

Thank you! I’m hoping to improve my water quality and this sump looked decent it’s included in a bundle with a pump, aquarium and a cabinet.

I've ordered a few items from AquaCave that were out of stock in other places and they shipped fast. I'll use them again.

I use the bigger version of this rfs, 74 gal, it’s mostly pretty good. Few complaints, the person who designed the ******* line holders had never actually run lines to them imo. You have to run your line in the top cut a piece and the put it through the bottom. I’m sure that’s fine if you are doing all that ahead of time but adding the lines once equipment in was not fun. I also tore off all the tops they just didn’t work all that well for me. So if you look at the photo the line at the top and the one under to drip in are not the same one they go into push pull connectors

I'm receiving this on Monday!

Incidentally I doubt AquaCave will be shipping this to you. I think they'll probably send the order to IM, who will be shipping it. Just a guess though. Smaller AIO systems they may have their own stock, but bigger setups I assume they'll go directly to the manufacturer.

Aquacave is a reefing gear retailer. They are legit and reliable. There have been multiple instances when they had the best price or were selling a product I couldn’t find elsewhere.
