Awesome Experience at Pacific East Aquaculture

Hi folks,

Just wanted to pass along the awesome experience I had visiting Dr. Mac's Pacific East Aquaculture. If you live within a 2-4 hour drive of Maryland's Eastern Shore, it's worth a trip. The store itself is absolutely immaculate, and the staff is excellent. Dr. Mac himself took a good hour out of his day to show me around, answer questions and help me pick out some frags.

I've been a long time mail order customer, and have always been happy with the quality of the livestock I purchased, and visiting the store made me even more impressed with what is an outstanding company to do business with!

Well done guys!!!

I was browsing through the forum looking for feedback on another vendor I'm thinking about - I saw your post and had to add my thumbs up for Pacific East as well. I had the chance to visit their facility back in March, and everyone couldn't have been nicer. I got all my LR there, and a few frags.

I also recently ordered by mail from them (cleanup crew) and they were happy to make substitutions. The box arrived right on time the next day, and everything was very well packaged and healthy. They have a new tank discount program, where you can get 10% off the cleanup crew, and then 10-20% off corals, etc. as you build your tank. Dr. Mac & Co. are great people to do business with, and I'm looking forward to paying them another visit in the coming months.

Yeah I agree, that place is awesome!
I found them on line when I was getting ready for my setup in Oct/Nov looking for local live rock retailers with good prices.
I printed out Directions and took a drive with the family to pick up some Fiji, but he was low so I came back with 95 % Tonga Nuku and a little but Fiji for my 90 Gal.

Nice Coralline on this stuff!! Running since Nov. 4th

Yeah I need to place an order!

Yeah, I thought I was going for Fiji, but when I saw the Tonga that's what I ended up getting. It was just too interesting-looking to pass up!

I was there a few months back. It is truly an awesome set up.

It is one of the only places that I have ever ordered from that sent exactly what I ordered. Always looks like the picture. No Photoshop. Never a back order. I'd love to go there.
