Internet retailers

Post by 150EH »

I just thought I'd menntion that Aquarium Plants dot com is really stocked right now with more than I've ever seen, most of the items are in the club I'm sure, but I know a lot of members are getting their Dutch tanks together, here's a few


Flame Moss
a whole page of Crypts with 3 or 4 that they don't normally carry
H. Pinnatifida
P. helferi
Riccia, something I've never seen there before, but it's $10.99 for a small mangled clump according to the first review.

and a boat load of stems for the Dutch comp.
Sincerely,
Tim

Would you buy some from me? My neighbor's dog is quite the over achiever, and I'd cut you a great deal!

LOL!

I have never heard anything good about them. Ive always heard of plants being subbed in, half dead plants, duckweed, and over priced to boot! No thanks!

Chris,

They suck...I had a first hand experience. I once ordered a timer and a phosphate test kit. They sent a different model timer and the guy argued with me on the phone that its the latest model than what they showed in the picture...after some googling it turned out that the one they sent me is made by a different company than what they have advertised. And the phosphate test kit was an open box and the seals on the bottles were broken too....they were probably used. I am never buying from them again.

Wow, I've never had a problem with them and the one time I did need to call the guy was very nice and told me if I had any problems he would take care of it. Also when buying plants they have always sent me extra and always in good condition and good sized.

I'm still laughing about the dog turd, btw Ben my dog also is an over achiever and currently is the 2009 & 2010 "Turds of Glory" champion in the lenth & girth catagories!
Sincerely,
Tim

I've had mixed experiences with them. They have been very good about the CO2 equipment. They even upgraded me to a splitter with 2 black boxes and took back my single black box and gave me full credit.

All of the plants I have gotten from them have been in good shape. However with one order they didn't tell me the plant I wanted wasn't in stock until I received the order. I wouldn't have placed the order if that one plant wasn't in stock.

So, all in all I would order from them again and recommend their CO2 setup for folks who want to get a simple and efficient solution that works well.
