live aquaria

I started this hobby in 2020 and purchased a good deal of my livestock from LiveAquaria. I never received sick or infested items. Jump to 2024 and everything from fish to coral has arrived with disease or bad hitchhikers. My last two attempts at purchasing fish were ick riddled and died during...

Hey Reef2Reef, Happy Wednesday!:grinning-face-with-big-eyes: We may only be halfway through the work week, but Dinkins Aquatic Gardens has something to boost you out of the mid-week slump. If you're a supporting member, it's time to get in on the action! Here's March's awesome lineup for the...

This looks great!! I only have 3 easy suggestions: 1) I know you mention "many more perks" in the thread, but maybe include a couple in parentheses or something just to note that supporting members get more than just opportunity to enter the giveaway (and link to the thread where those perks...

I ordered "abalone" from live aquaria and received these. Are these just regular nerite snails?

I’m upgrading tanks I looked at my lfs but live aquaria had a cheaper tank van I trust live aquaria is it a good tank manufacturer or should I get a tank from somewhere else

Hey guys just thought I'd share my experience purchasing off LiveAquaria. So I don't know who packaged this fish, but I ordered a snowstorm clown (prettiest clown IMO) and I was SO excited when it got in. Only to be shocked to see the bag of water laying directly on top of an ice pack with the...

After seeing Live Aquaria’s before thanksgiving sale I decided to place my second frozen food order with them. The first frozen food order I placed with them shipped via FedEx, aka the worst overnight service available. The package arrived a day late and none of the food was even cold so it all...

Live aquaria has the option to buy one from hawaii or one from sumatra. I was wondering if anyone knew the differences and if one is a better choice than the other? The Hawaii one is listed also as medium but twice the price as the Sumatra one. thank you! Brieanna

I ordered a fish from Live Aquaria two weeks ago and it was supposed to be shipped out today. Instead, I get this message: New shipments arrive at our holding facility daily. Once up to 75% of your order value is available with in-stock items, the order will be fulfilled. On the day your order...

Do NOT purchase from live aquaria. My urchin was supposed to ship today. I emailed last night to cancel bc there was a slight issue with my tank and I didn’t want to add livestock to it until I addressed the issue. sent this email last night: Can you please cancel this order. I was out of town...

I made a mistake in purchasing a checkerboard/marble wrasse and wanted to cancel it an hour or 2 after purchasing at around 10:30pm last night. I sent them a message stating this and this is the response I woke up to on my birthday.So... Basically the order didn't ship at the time of this...

https://reefbuilders.com/2021/03/03/live-aquaria-loses-their-top-lieutenant-kevin-kohen-to-depart/ This is the guy who came up with Diver's Den and one of the execs that made them into what they are today. LA has been on a steep decline lately imo, and this won't help matters.

I was thinking about getting an ornate leopard wrasse for my 55g tank and live aquaria lists them as an EXPERT ONLY fish. Is this true or is there any easy way to get them on frozen meaty foods?

I’ve been looking to order a pair of gladiator clowns, a pair of midnight clowns, a longnose hawk fish and a midas blenny. At first, I was set on ordering from live aquaria because I’ve gotten a wyoming white clown that was in good health but I’ve been reading some horror stories lately. Any...

Just got an email with this offer. If you use LA salt and/or planning on it check out their promotion. Great price on the salt and they throw in calcium chloride and carbonate All LA private label products are also on sale...

Hey R2R fish friends, I’ve been on the hunt for some fish and find that the ones I’m going for in Divers Den seem to go quick (note I’ve been happy with all of our Divers den purchases 6 fish no issues). I see them available in the California facility but have heard rumors that the live stock...

I may have put my thread in the wrong forum. Here is a link with all the info: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/quarantine-leopard-wrasses-from-liveaquaria.736621/

Any tips or suggestions to acclimate a fish from the divers den? Or is it just like any other fish I’ve ever purchased? 1,) float the bag for temp (15mins or so) 2,) Open the bag add a small cup of tank water to off 3,) Then drip acclimate for 30-60 mins or until the salinity is the same. I’ve...

I received a pair of yasha gobys with a pistol shrimp from Diver's Den. I've attached the picture of the exact group I ordered. The shrimp came in without front claws. I then compared the picture of the shrimp I ordered to pictures of other pistol shrimp posted on the site for sale at the same...

A cautionary tale for all people using a Gift Certificate (GC) for an on-line purchase.... I recently used a $100 GF - my order total was $138. Instead of being billed $38 to my PayPal account I was billed the full amount of $138. I contact Customer Support (CS) and was told by a CS rep that...

I wanted to post a very positive review for Live Aquaria and Live Aquaria’s Diver’s Den. Originally from Florida, I now live in an area far away from any well stocked LFS. I try to throughly research any source before I order. Even with QT practices, I want a good reputable source to try to...

I’m starting my Red Sea Reefer 170 build shortly. I just ordered my Reefer 170 and I do not have it yet. This will be my 2nd setup. My first tank I set up a little less than 2 years ago, it was a 75 gallon setup with a 30 gallon sump. I then added a 40 breeder to the system about a year ago...
