Aquacon

Perfect, thanks!

 

I'm gonna say the complete opposite and that I've had awesome experiences with aquacon. I've ordered from them more than a handful of times and always been impressed. Both prices and the fish/corals were great.

 

AE is a top notch store for sure. very helpful and friendly along with a great selection of fish. I have known AE even when Ted owned the place before Adam

 

This is a good chunk of information that I'm getting from all of you, appreciate it! Makes my selection process a little easier.

 

I've ordered only once from Aquacon. They do a great job on packaging, everything arrived alive. Their problem is they don't always have everything you ordered. They are difficult to get a hold of and when you do all you get is the run-around. They will NOT refund your money. They expect you to dispute the charges with your credit card company to get your money back. Which I did and got my money back but the hassle is all yours.

 

That reminded me of my experience with them as well. The fish I ordered were great! The inverts on the other hand were not.

I ordered a dozen peppermint shrimp, no I don't have aptasia, they were just a really good price, like 3$ each when they were on sale. I also ordered 4 cleaner shrimp that were on sale too. When the package arrived I had 4 peppermint shrimp, and 1 cleaner shrimp, with no notice as to why I was short.

I had to call them to get refunded my money, to which they gave it back, but in no way did they attempt to contact me at all about the issue. Mad me feel like they were trying to run away with my cash. If I wouldn't have been paying attention to my order, I would have gotten hosed for sure!

 

Yes, do that. It will be well worth your time. trust me

 

You frequent AE Fishy? Have you been to ACC as well?

 

Yes we go to both. Each has thier own awesome factor. We try to support LFS as much as possible. Have you ever been to Coralville Bay?

 

Yea I have been there before, and I'm not really a fan either. Their prices are a little high, not a very good selection, and it doesn't look like they spend to much time maintaining their SW tanks. Good selection of FW fish tho

 

Agree.. before the flood of 2008 in their old  location Coralville Bay really rocked on SW.

 

Yea, I frequented their store on the strip before the flood. It's kinda sad to see what it has come to now.
