Anyone bought from Aquatic Connection?

Wondering if anyone has any experience with these guys?

Their web site's security certificate is making my browser warn me about them, and when I call it sounds like one person posing as three departments at a company.

We have not purchased live stock from them, but I use some of the information listed for livestock when referencing tank inhabitants.

I've never done business with them, but there have been MANY threads over at RC warning people that the "CON" in the name is very accurate. Definitely do your research before buying from any on-line seller, (even though MOST are good, honest sellers)

Well the web site security certificate issues coupled with the lack of resounding endorsements here managed to scare me off from Aquatic Connection. I loved their selection, but found many of the things I wanted at JustCoral.com, in fact they had some interesting stuff that I just couldn't resist.

Hopefully I'll have a wonderful experience to report from our sponsor in a few days.

Thanks for the help!
