LOCAL PICKUPS
We dont want to give our competitors an advantage, so unfortunately our facility is closed to the public. We wish we could show it off, but I am sure you understand about proprietary information. However we do offer local pickup, at a convenient time and place (near Gwinnett Place Mall typically) with a minimum $150 (Cash preferably) order size. Just give us a call.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Sorry, Scientific Coral does not ship outside of the US at this time, nor do we anticipate doing so in the near future. Its just too difficult dealing with all of the unexpected delays in various countries and the paperwork to export CITIES Appendix 2 livestock.

ERRORS IN DELIVERY:

PLEASE NOTE: in the unlikely event that the package is delivered a day late, do not refuse delivery! You must receive it for credit. All soft and most hard corals can usually survive an extra day. Save what you can, and we will replace any items that are DOA and take care of filing the claim. All corals are packed to survive at least 40 hours, and some can live many days. Refusing a shipment will result in NO CREDIT for the lost order, and no further sales to that customer.

Payment information: We accept Master Card,  Visa,  and Amex Credit Cards via Paypal. We no longer accept CODs. Shipments can also be sent upon receipt of Money Orders (Post Office, convenience store, etc.), Cashiers or Certified Check from a bank.  Or you may mail a business or personal check, but please allow 7-10 days for checks to clear before we ship. Do not send cash in the mail!

ACCLIMATION UPON ARRIVAL:

For more information on acclimation, you can also visit our FREE information website at www.Corals101.com

Float the bags for 20 minutes in the tank that they will placed in to equalize the temperature. Do not float them directly under metal halide bulbs as they may overheat the bag. It is best to turn the lights off during floating and during the first few hours, to allow the animals to gently adjust to their new surroundings. After floating, put the items directly into the tank, first gently swishing them upside-down in the water to dislodge any accumulated debris, and then place in a good current area in the
lower part of your tank. It is not necessary to  use a drip acclimation system.  CAUTION! At first, put the corals down LOWER towards the bottom of the tank to avoid light shock which can stress the corals. During the first week, if the corals are lightening, move them to a lower part of your tank. Gradually move the corals up closer to the light over the next 2 weeks. Its safe to put them in a lower light area initially.  Do not place the corals directly under 250 watt or 400 watt metal halides initially.

We think we have one of the best shipping methods in the industry. We are always trying to improve it so let is know if you have any ideas.
