    I love how Marine and Reef always packs my purchases so neatly. Marine and Reef excells in their timely shipping and my packages always arrive fast. I have in the past made online purchases with other reefsites and either the item came broken or the packaging arrived badly damaged. My purchases at Marine and Reef always arrive in good shape.

    Trying to get Cascade 1000 parts. Found Marine and Reef are a good source since most people don't carry that brand for replacement parts .I need another part, but they too did not have it and have no idea if or when it will come in. Marine and Reef, good....Cascade, bad.

    I was recently researching the Octo Pulse 4 and reached out to several online stores with questions. I chose to purchase from you because you were the only ones who took the time to respond. While I may be an average reef hobbyist, I am constantly looking for ways to improve my tank, and customer service is very important to me. The attention I received from Lorraine was both helpful and much appreciated. Because of her great service, I look forward to being a long-term customer.

    Well, they didn't answer my email from a few months ago, but I still trust them to provide quality orders. Insightful emails too. The item was out of stock for a long time, but I pounced when it came back.

    Purchased item that had an expiration date of 6/2026 and product had floating organics in which CS rep said it was not unusual since this is an organic product. Also purchased was a larger version of same product with an expiration date of 5/2027 and guess what, no floating organic particles so I guess CS is always right...

    The first glass sleeve (for a UV lamp) that I ordered came damaged. Was very well packed, so not the company's fault, but somehow badly treated by the carrier. Marine and Reef was very helpful when I notified them and I soon received a replacement, this one undamaged. Great company. Professional and responsive to its customers.

    Package that arrived was in a box different from what was ordered. Left message with M&R. They called me back very quickly to let me know that the product I ordered was in the box that I received (I hadn’t opened it yet). Weird practice from Coralvue but it was the right item and it works great. Thanks M&R for quickly responding.

    I had an amazing experience. Marine and Reef was very attentive to my order and provided timely updates throughout the process. The package arrived well-packed and even included a complimentary towel, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was an excellent experience and a refreshing change from the hands-off approach that so many e-commerce companies take these days.

    I searched for item by name online. Aqueon 75 came up thru ebay amazon and others. I was looking for replacement pump, most results were for the whole filter. Long story manufacture gave M&R website. Got part I wanted and it works great. Order was on time, no damage. Initial search was bad, M&R met all my expectations
