Terms and Conditions

 

 

Agreement between User and www.ccreef.com

Welcome to wwwecreef.com. The www.ccreef.com website (the "Site") is comprised of various web pages operated by
Christopher Coomer, Coral Reef Enthusiast, Christopher Coomer Coral Enthusiast

(" CCREEF "). www.ccreef.com is offered to you

conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein (the "Terms").
Your use of wwww.ccreef.com constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Please read these terms carefully, and keep a copy of them for your reference.

 

www.ccreef.com is an E-Commerce Site.

 

 

If you have the option to buy your food from a big box store or your local farmer's market. 9 times out of 10 you would rather buy from the farmers market, right?
The food is generally riper and taste better but not necessarily cheaper and sometimes can be more expensive. But the quality is higher, there’s experiences and connections are made,
and you learn exactly how your food is grown and prepared. What chemicals may or may not be used. Overall, you usually end up paying for a much better product or produce.
Versus paying for something that is sprayed to look like its ripe but still green and that would have self-ripen 1 - 2 weeks before you can eat it.
Even with that done it still may not taste the same or look as good as the one at the farmer’s market.

 

That is exactly how CCREEF is operated! I Provide High Quality Aqua-cultured Corals, Fish, Inverts, Echinoderms, Aquatic Plants and much more.
I use stringent protocols to eliminate and prevent any possible diseases, pest or any algae issues that may spread from my tanks to yours.
I pride myself and to the BEST of my knowledge of not having any diseases, pest or any algae issues at all. That may plague your aquarium.

 

Wholesale is offered in bulk quantities. I have a slew of different species of corals and offer packs accordingly. I'm here to help educate any reefing hobbyist who is willing to learn.
And I’ll try my best to break the bad habits and help teach you properly. Most places if you want something they will just let you buy it and hope for the best.
I will help you level up your system to ensure long term survival.

 

I’m a HUGE believer in opened and honest communication. I will try my best to help you even if you don't make a purchase from me.
All items are grown from my personal collection from my personal tanks. I find enjoyment, in watching things grow and I only frag and sell items as needed or when my eye starts twitching ??.

 

This is not a large operation I don’t consider this an operation. It’s a hobby of mine and I have so many species I have to find homes for them as they grow.
That is the purpose of this website or any of my media channels. I am limited on time and have a maximum number of species that I can grow.
However, the items I do offer will be insanely healthy with maximum coloration.

The remaining 30% will be used only in the form as Store Cancelation Credit when or if you choose to order at a later time.

Or if you don't receive a notification regarding your expiring Store Cancelation Credit. Store Cancelation Credits are something that you must keep track of on your own.

 

Because the nature of what I sell are living animals / plants.
Once shipped there are no refunds for any LIVE items including but not limited too. Fish, Corals, Inverts, Echinoderms or any Aquatic Plant, animal or Species.
Due to the additional stress from shipping. The overall condition of the species.
