• Our eleven-member crew starts at all the major wholesalers to select the best from all incoming shipments into Los Angeles.

• We scrutinize each specimen for the smallest imperfection.

• Every specimen is hand-selected and carefully packed by our industry-trained employees so that it receives the proper care. This includes the required water amount, correct bag size, delicate handling, mounting of coral and other key elements that directly effect the health of each specimen. 

• We maintain two state-of-the art, 5,000 gallon quarantine facilities to house our rare and unusual specimens. 

After specimens are selected and packed, they are moved to our facility. At our facility the process continues: specimens are again inspected for any visible defects, a double-check system is used to make sure our customer orders are exact and the specimens are packed carefully in new heavy styrofoam boxes with cardboard liners for shipping. Our long-term relationships with airline cargo departments helps guarantee your orders leave and arrive on time.  

After the entire process, Aqua Marines is still able to offer our customers a competitive price. We receive volume discounts from our suppliers and rely on our large volume of shipouts for profit. We do not have to charge exorbitant prices to provide the best quality and variety available anywhere!
