The crew at wet web media directed me to you. I'm going to say thank you to them now. mahalo nui loa!" Melinda in Gulfport MS

"Wow Gerald! I unpacked all the goodies and was so impressed both with the quantity and quality of everything... so fresh! The pods all survived. I’d like to see if I can get a good culture started. I have seahorses and amphipods are a favorite snack." Janet in Pittsburgh

Must have 500 or better in 100 gal tank...babies every other day seems like...." Herman in Grants Pass, Oregon

"Received my order today, and I must say I’m very impressed by the livestock you sold me. Everything is alive and doing well, I’ve ordered from other places online but you guys sure are the best I’ve seen with the overall quality of the livestock! Will be ordering again. Can’t wait for the Strombus grazers to breed!" Nick in Cambridge MA

"Order placed through your FB store and PayPal. The one-click Mix ‘n Match is exactly what I’m looking for. Always a pleasure ordering from you!" Russel in Fort Mill, SC

"Thanks so much for the great products you provide! I was so impressed with my original order that I just had to have more. The worms, snails, hermit crabs, amphipods and live sand are all doing very well and have added much interesting diversity to my relatively new reef tank. I recommend your products to everyone I know in the hobby and will continue to do so. Thanks again." John in Wilmington NC

"Gerald, Thanks so much for my order and the free items you sent especially the toadstool leather. I bought a toadstool from your company around 2002 - 2003 and it grew to be the prize of my tank i am so happy to have one again to help me get back into the hobby. Attached is a picture of it. Thanks again." David in Brandon FL

"I got 6 big bags of Reef Amphipods. Gerald has been around for a long time and goes out of his way to send ample critters, all double bagged and labeled. Definitely worth the money." Nanook on Reef Central

"I bought the Amphipod Breeding Kit with my last IPSF order. It's been about a month and boy do I have some amphipods, tons of them." Wesley in Fenton MO

"Hi Gerald! I just wanted to take a few minutes to write and thank you for all your help with my new tank. All the critters you sent me arrived in great shape and were very healthy. I'm happy to report that they have all adapted well to the tank, and appear to be thriving. Casualties so far: zero!"

"You've made a real difference in my initial experience with this great hobby. I'm really grateful and appreciative, and I really want to thank you for making me a special order... You can bet that you'll be hearing from me again really soon, as I get ready to start stocking some other tanks I have cycling right now. Thanks again, and Best wishes! Aloha!" Cisco in Chico CA

"In the quest for the work of art known as a full blown reef tank, many of us neglect the little things you can add to create a complete ecosystem. I prefer live rock, but as it becomes less available and folks are using terrestrial rock, it's important to seed a tank with the little life forms."

"I have used Indo Pacific Sea Farms for about 20 years now and Gerald specializes in providing these little life forms that most people don't get. These little micro inverts add a lot of biodiversity to a system and help produce natural food sources and help keep the rocks and sand bed clean from excess food and detritus."

"I just added a couple kits to my 600 gallon system and the variety of stuff I got was amazing! To name a few: Strombus Grazers, Nerite snails, trochus grazers, mama mia worms, bristle worms, amphipods, micro hermits and probably 4 or 5 more snail varieties that I don't know the names of. These things will reproduce in your tank as well, so think of it as an investment in biodiversity and keeping your tank clean." Dave in St. Louis MO

"I love yall! Your stuff is definitely the best on the web! Thank you!" Angela in Royal Palm Beach FL

"I wanted to thank you for my order that I received today. Everything was well-packed. Everything was alive. I received more than the stated number of worms, pods, hermits, and stars, and I really appreciate that.Thank you for the excellent service and great livestock!" Megan in Franklin TN

"Hi, I purchased a Reef Tank Tuneup a few months ago and now my 12 Strombus Grazers have multiplied to several hundred." Peter in Brooklyn NY

"When you say the stuff from those IPSF kits reproduce in our tanks, you ain't kidding! I've got literally hundreds of micro grazer snails now, and those are only the ones I can see on the glass!" Kevin on Reef Central

"I am so excited for the free 6 Ministars!!!!!!!" Carley in Binghamton NY

Even though it went from Hawaii to the East Coast everything arrived alive... I think this is one of the best deals in the saltwater industry and I thank you. Will order again soon." Johnny in Norcross GA

"I wanted to thank you for my order that I received today. Everything was well-packed. Everything was alive. I received more than the stated number of worms, pods, hermits, and stars, and I really appreciate that. Thank you for the excellent service and great livestock!" Megan in Franklin TN

"It's been awhile, but we are finally in need of some extra diversity. You have the BEST stuff. Thanks." Lisa in West Hartford CT

"Well.. I just got my order in. I am trying very hard to be patient and acclimate everything per your instructions... it's driving me NUTS! I haven't even opened the bags and everything looks WONDERFUL. I ordered the reef tank tuneup, the worm package and the live sand activator with wondermud. I was thinking too that I should have ordered some of the macro algae for my sump... and there is some with my mud and my 'pods! The mud has worms and 'pods swimming round in there!"

"Everything arrived safely and looks great." Lonnie, Crozet VA

"Indo Pacific Sea Farms is one company which still produces and sells coralline algae starter packs to make sure your tank is seeded to begin with. Once you know you have live coralline in the tank, either through growth on the rocks, glass or equipment, then you can tweak conditions to make it grow faster and prettier."
