Anyone dealt with Aquatic Magic before?

I have ordered some xmas moss, echinodorus, balansae, as well as some ferns on my original order with aquaticmagic. After which I changed my mind to go without the ferns.

To my surprise that they contacted me and ask me if I am still interested, and they gave me a good price for that. I can't resist saying yes... lol

Waiting for the plant delivery now.

Cool, keep us posted as to the quality of the plants and how long they take to get to you!

Sure. Before I receive new plants into my collection, I will need to get rid of the brown worm in my tank.

Anyone who could help?

I have gotten the plants yesterday - it took 8 days for the shipment (I ordered on last wednesday). The plants are surviving well - it was shipped in 2 envelopes.

I notice that the balansae was shipped without the leaves. I didn't expect that and contacted aquaticmagic - and i got their reply saying that they have removed it to reduce shipping weight, and the leave will melt once I put them into my tank as it is a different water parameter for the plant to adapt. I was told to wait for 1 week or so for the new leaves to grow.

I have checked the product page again, and they have actually stated in the description clearly. I have missed it out. Well, since they have offered a reship/refund if no leave is growing after 1 week, I am still happy with the overall service.

I have done a price compare with the local shops, and I have saved about $15 to $20 from the deal. Hope that they will keep the free shipping promotion forever.

Good luck!

That's not too long considering where it came from. So how is the quality of their plants?

Lol someone asked me the same question in PM...

Quality of the plant is good - but I take no risk so all the plants are in the QT tank and I will keep them there for 1 week.

No snail or insect, but the xmas moss are grown submerged (I could see visible root structure - which exist only when the moss in its submerged form). I dont see much soil so I guess they have spent time washing it. So if you need to setup a tank urgent - you will need to take note since submerged plant needs about 2 weeks to get itself adapt to the immersed form and start growing.

Hope it helps.
