  • We are sorry to hear of your loss. We stand behind all our aquatic life guarantees. Please complete the Aquatic Life Guarantee Claim Form. Once the details and images are reviewed, we will issue a store credit for your loss. Store credit expires one year after date of issue.
• Why is it So Important to Acclimate New Arrivals?
  • The reason why acclimation is necessary is simple: the chemical makeup of the water in which the aquatic life is packaged is different from your aquarium water chemistry (i.e. water temperature, pH, and salinity). Aquatic life such as fish, and especially invertebrates (including corals), are very sensitive to even minor changes in water chemistry. The goal of acclimation is to gradually introduce your new aquatic life to the water chemistry found in your aquarium at a controlled rate to avoid distress.
