Just Chill with Teco
One of the many vendors I was able to spend some time with at the recent IMAC West conference was Teco makers of the SeaChill line of aquarium chillers released to the public this year. What caught my eye was the free lemonade (and margaritas later in the day) they had in a cool media reactor chilled to a refreshing 36° F by one of their chillers! Teco is known for their quality products and if looks are just as important to you as function with your chiller, the SeaChill line is just for you.
Route 66 Marine Taps into Australian, Indonesian Treasures
I’m always bugging my Local Fish Store (LFS) on Mondays and Tuesdays because I know that’s when he’s getting all the wholesaler’s stocking lists. When I called him this week, he mentioned he was setting up an account and looking to make an order from Route 66 Marine, a new wholesaler on the market.

Custom Aquatics: A+ Service
I had a very good experience with Custom Aquatics. I found their prices to be very low, good selection of products geared towards all levels of fish keeping and enough stuff for the intermediate to advanced reef keeper to make them worth checking out. Plus they had a great special going on with free ground shipping on orders over $125 to boot.
Customer service gets and A+ too. I had a question after I placed my order and sent an email out since it was later in the evening. I called them the next morning and they picked up after 2 rings, were very helpful, fixed what I needed and even replied to my email a little while later to confirm.
The team there also gets bonus points for their replies after the sale. I gave them a strong write-up at TalkingReef and emailed them the link and said thanks again. I received, THREE, yes THREE emails from three separate people saying thank you! Awesome works guys!
They recently had overhauled their website and I love the new look. Very professional and clean looking. The site navigation is pretty nice too. My only comment would be to add customer ratings to the products. I really take into consideration other people’s comments and find them highly informative.
They are located in Southern California in North San Diego County, so anyone in CA looking for a local online vendor, check it out. Order was processed and shipped within 24 hours and received two days later.
