In an infinite sea of dealers …

In an infinite sea of dealers and products... AquaCave was able to provide me with great products for what I needed at a competitive price and speedy delivery. I spoke to them on the phone as well to cross some t's and dot some i's and the customer service was easy the way it should be.... A true blessing I am grateful for

Great place to shop online.

Great experience! Quick delivery and products delivered as ordered. It’s been a long time since I had my ASM protein skimmer up and running and it was nice to see that I could just buy the parts I needed to get it up and going instead of having to invest in a whole new skimmer.

Please don't buy from this company

Please don't buy from this company! They ship you something totally different than what's advertised on their website. Then when you ask for a return, they charge you to return it! Now they won't return any emails after I explained to them that they sent me the wrong product. I sent pictures and showed them they sent me the wrong product and they just ignore my emails. Don't buy from this company! They have zero customer support.

First order.. Very Good Experience!

I was having trouble finding my Datnoid’s favorite pellets in stock at any of my normal places. Found AquaCave had what I needed, and at a competitive price. This is my first order with them. They shipped out the food quickly, and I received the order in only a few days. I’ll be ordering from them more often. Thanks!

I have only received half of my order…

I have only received half of my order and I think the folks at Aquacave believe I have my complete order.

Sincerely,
Jim

Terrible customer service

Customer service doesn't get much worse. I have contacted them by email and phone four times now. I got one missed call, no message, and one email asking for a picture of the product defect 10 days after initial contact. I sent them the picture, no response. That was 7 days ago.
