General Info

We have been selling livestock online since January 2005. What started out as a hobby since 1998 became and addiction. So along came Gateway Aquatics selling mostly on ebay and April 2005 came Gatewayaquatics.com. This business started out in the basement of my first home and less than a year later Gateway Aquatics LLC opened a full retail salt water store in South St. Louis Missouri. The original idea behind the home based business was to sell aquacultured frags and small corals, but when business started picking up, the time and room for propagating was no where to be found. So with the retail store, Gatewayaquatics.com and Gatewayaquatics on ebay we started to focus on bigger corals as well as inverts and some fish. Then in Sept. of 2006 I was approached by Nic the owner of Zomania.com that he was thinking of selling his website and this was when I decided that I wanted to go back to where I started off and resume selling aquacultured zoanthids/Ricordea as well as start propagating other corals. So zomania.com is our website geared towards propagated /aquacultured corals as well as anything that is aquacultured like some inverts and fish. We will not be selling any wild colonies of any kind, or wild inverts and fish on ZoMania.com. Those area's will be handled by Gatewayaquatics.com our retail store located at 4570 Telegraph rd St., MO 63129 Louis ( 314 ) 845-8686. The store is small with just over 1000sq ft but we pack it full of thousands of corals and hundreds of fish and inverts. We can special order almost anything from Custom tanks to rare Corals and Fish. We also have been doing Custom tank setups and Ponds for residential and commercial locations as well as bi-weekly or Monthly Maintenance. When we ship livestock we do offer a full live arrival garuntee in the U.S. 48 states as well as we do ship outside of the U.S. with no live guarantee, just email sales gatewayaquatics.com for international shipping rates. We are a brick&mortar business unlike a lot of internet companys, so we are not going anywhere and have shipped well over 2000+ packages all over the world. This is my business and something i still enjoy after many years. We really appreciatte your business and support. Thank You, Chad Smith Owner
