If for any reason you decide something isn’t quite ultra grade, simply snap a photo of the unopened item(s) you would like replaced. Be sure to get the expiration date on the back label in the photo. After that, visit www.algaebarn.com/claims and submit the form. We’ll review the photo and have a replacement out to you faster than a six-line wrasse at feeding time.
Captive Bred Fish: We guarantee every Live Fish we ship to be 100% Alive On Arrival and we also offer a 7-day health guarantee on all Live Captive Bred Fish. In the event that your fish arrives DOA (Dead On Arrival), simply take a photo of the fish in the unopened bag/jar within 2 hours after delivery and visit www.algaebarn.com/claims to submit the form. If the fish is DOA, we will offer you a choice of either a full refund or a free replacement, including the shipping cost. If the fish expires from natural causes (this does not include being killed by tank mates, jumping out of the aquarium, being acclimated to the wrong environment, not being fed the recommended foods) within 7 days after delivery, just provide a picture of the expired fish and we will offer you a free replacement, however, you must pay for shipping, or a refund, less the shipping cost. We can offer this industry leading guarantee on all of our live fish because Captive Bred fish are generally healthier and hardier than their wild-caught counterparts!

Please do yourself a favor and do not buy Sea Lettuce for to keep in a high flow sump/refugium. Sea Lettuce may have other uses, but it is not a right macroalgae to be kept in a refugium (in my opinion and experience) especially with high flows. I bought XLarge Starter Pack with Sea Lettuce since Algae Barn was out of Cheato for several weeks. Everything arrived in great condition as expected. I have no negative comments in terms of quality of products or shipping from Algae Barn. Like everything else, the Sea Lettuce arrived in good condition as expected. However, after a couple of days this macroalgae started to block overflows, pumps, skimmer and everything else that you can imagine. I have a large sump with multiple baffles, but these small pieces made through all of them to the return pump. The return pump churned it into micro pieces and cloud the whole tank and added unwanted nutrients in the system. It was such a mess that I had to clean the entire sump, pumps, and skimmer to get rid of it. Unfortunately, I had added the Pods just a couple of days before. I must have lost most of the pods having to clean the entire sump.
Though I have no quality related issues, my only expectation from Algae Barn would be to give instructions to buyers about the flow, lighting that Sea Lettuce could handle. Please wait for Clean Chaeto than compromising for Sea Lettuce. I would have given 5 stars if not for the mess that Sea Lettuce made, and Algae Barn has no instructions on how and under what limitations it could be used.
