Brs acquired Marine Depot

[djrice69]

Marine depot just made a public announcement that they have been acquired by BulkkReefSupply

not happy

That's a bummer, I liked MD. Hopefully this means faster shipping for us from BRS if they utilize the warehouse.

both of them suck, now we got extra suck

I hope they keep the California warehouse in operation

Ouch. Not surprised tho. Expect to see even more consolidation in the coming days.

As long as they keep the CA warehouse, I'm happy. I honestly acquired most of my stuff from BRS in my latest build and have nothing but good things to say about them.

i generally like BRS, but this seems bad in a corporate monopolies are almost always bad kind of way

i just ordered from premiumaquatics, gotta spread the love around

I agree, I like Brs but it takes so long to get shit from them I usually use marine depot. If they could shorten their ship times I’d order more from them. I don’t so much care that it’s a little more expensive

I like premium aquatics better.....No sales tax too. Free shipping $39+

 

[Smite]

premiums cool but they sent me to Bashsea when the sump I bought leaked. I did wait to leak test until my build was done, 2-3 months after purchase, so that is kinda on me. I have a feeling it would have been no questions asked at BRS whether refund or replacement. Maybe MD too.

heard through the grape vine BRS will be buying Neptune in the very near future

It’s disheartening to see md go, but it will most likely benefit more than less hobbyist and ppl who work or the industry in the long run.

Don’t forget aqua cave.

Wonder how much it cost them

They haven't had that warehouse open for a long time. They used a 3rd party to store and ship their products the last couple years.

I hadn't been there in a couple years. Makes sense though.
