A reputable company?
Looking in purchasing a lighting system from aquacave any opinions about this company would be great. Thanks

I've never ordered from them personally, but there are a couple of members on the local forum that have ordered from them and I have heard good things.
...and that puts me 1 closer to 50 |

I rate aquacave up there with MD for customer service and product selection.
Order frequently from them and never an issue for me. Tivo

They are a good company, I have ordered from them dozens of times. They are not always the fastest shippers and their communication can be iffy at times, that's where 90% of the complaints come from. They usually ship out within 2-3 days. I've done returns also that have gone smoothly.

Yeah I've ordered from them a number of times and never had an issue except the fact that when I bought the apex they didn't have the standard grade ph probe in stock so they gave me a lab grade instead for the same price

Most fish stores open at noon so that makes sense.
