Feedback on Aqua Trader

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I live about 25 miles away from aquatraders. I go there to buy their fishes. They are like a wholesale place selling to fish stores in the area. They sell fishes to the public also at good prices.
 
bump. any other members that have been there?
 
i've been there long time ago, i used to buy small amount of fish from them , then when i upgraded and started talking about buying a group of fish and asked them if their price is negotiable since i'm buying more. and eventually they told me "these fish aren't for you , we are not selling" ... so ya, i never went back...
very funny thing though, the odyssea equipments there are actually more expensive than a lfs outside even though they are the supplier ...
 
oh, but i guess if you need low price equipment , i guess these could work. at least they are always cheaper than American made ones. but you get what you pay, these usually doesn't last as long, and sometimes it becomes unsafe to use.
 
4 bulbs for $20 vs coralife 1 bulb for $15. That's very kind to beat on those Odyssea bulbs.
 
Their T5 fixtures are a good deal but the bulbs are so-so. If your not trying to grow med to high light loving plants then it should be good. Also the bulb K ratings are a bit generous. The problems that people were having with the fixtures stemmed from the metal halide fixtures and ballast.
