I reached out to Daniel, he was very responsive, and I sent photos of my inspiration, and described the type of tank I wanted, the size, along with my budget. Daniel kindly let me know that what I was asking for was not going to be within my budget , and I was ready to throw in the towel. A few days later, Daniel reached out and let me know he was able to come up with a solution that would fit my budget! Everything came together quickly, and I could not be more pleased . The follow up has been amazing as well, I highly recommend Authentic Aquariums!

He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely wanted to help me solve the problem . As someone who's fairly hands-on with my reef tank, that meant a lot. Even though they didn't come out, they absolutely earned my trust and future business. Highly recommend them to anyone in the reefing hobby.

Avoid this store at all cost!!!…read more I placed an order with Aquarium Fish Depot on April 8th, and it turned into one of the worst customer service and livestock experiences I've ever had. Before ordering, I emailed them to ask if I could place an order but delay shipping until April 17th. They responded and said yes, and told me to include the request in the order comments, which I did. Right after placing the order, I also replied to their confirmation email (which instructed me to reply if I wanted to add Route shipping protection) and asked them to add Route. They never responded. I emailed again on April 15th asking for an update and again requested Route protection. Still no reply. I called on April 15th -- no answer. I called again on April 16th and left a voicemail. No one ever called me back. Then, the evening of April 16th, I suddenly received a shipping confirmation. They had shipped the order without responding to any of my messages, and had quietly refunded one item -- the Captive-Bred Orchid Dottyback -- without explanation. Worse, the order was incomplete, and several fish arrived dead or in critical condition. --- What Arrived Alive: Coral Beauty Angelfish Firefish Goby Royal Gramma Cleaner Shrimp Pistol Shrimp 1 of 2 Fromia Starfish --- What Never Arrived: Hector's Goby Yellow Watchman Goby --- What Was Refunded Before Shipping: Captive-Bred Orchid Dottyback --- What Arrived DOA or Died Within an Hour: 2 Lyretail Anthias - Dead on arrival 1 Lyretail Anthias - Arrived half-dead, died within the hour Midas Blenny - Dead on arrival 1 of 2 Fromia Starfish - Dead on arrival --- That's 7 animals either dead or never sent. I followed all acclimation instructions exactly and documented everything with photos and timestamps. The worst part is that they completely ghosted me after confirming delayed shipping would be fine. I gave them multiple opportunities to respond and resolve things -- they chose not to. Avoid Aquarium Fish Depot. They do not stand behind their orders, they do not respond to customer concerns, and they clearly do not care about customer experience.
