Blue Zoo Aquatics

Has anyone ordered from these guys before? I just saw a banner on RC that said they are having a 50% sale on inverts.

I was looking at it the other day to get some reef hermits and snails. I ended up passing because of the $30 shipping.

Someone on this forum did a group order either earlier this year or late last year. Heard it went well, they are a respected company.

Holy Crap!!!! 30 dollars for shipping.... Guess my 15 dollar order for inverts isn't worth it.

yeah thats what i was thinking... 50 cents a snail/crab is not bad but with shipping better off paying $1.50 at LFS

I ran a group order for 3 boxes of corals, about 75 pcs in total.
ZERO DOA
Great company for this, don't know about individual orders though. I would assume they would be just as good.

With shipping costs and the turn in the LFS scean, why not support your LFS with buying clean up crews there? Might cost a couple bucks more in the end, but well worth it to keep the LFS going

SeaSchor usually has good deals on cleaner crews.

Blue Zoo

Split the shipping with someone. I just ordered today for myself and someone else. I will update the outcome at the end of the week.

I bought equipment there last year, a Coralife CS65 among them. I hated it because it flooded my living room, and Blue Zoo let me return it, no questions asked two weeks later. Great company.

Don't know, all of my stuff was in stock. However, when I ordered some of it was not listed that way on the web site. I'd call them first, it might be available.
