Whether you are in a coral acquisition phase, or you just want to add some new life to your aquarium, Top Shelf Aquatics’ new “Build Your Reef” membership program gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
The membership concept is not new – however – Top Shelf Aquatics gets it right by allowing the hobbyist to choose the specific corals they want via credits. I’ve been a part of membership programs in the past and was sent a random swath of corals. Most of them were typical “bread and butter” corals I already had or grew a little too quickly for my liking. With TSA’s program, you’re in the driver’s seat. If you see something on the TSA website that isn’t included in the “Build Your Reef” catalog, you can combine your purchases into one order.
The “Build Your Reef” membership is available at three price points: Coral Cadet $99/mo, Marine Master $199/mo, or Reefer Royalty $299/mo. Shipping is not included in these packages, however, you can purchase shipping or use part of your credit allowance each month. Another feature of this program that makes it unique – unused credits will roll over to the next month. Plus, you’ll receive added discounts of up to 40% on over 200 items. Yes, this includes some dry goods and live phytoplankton products as well!
Would I recommend grabbing a “Build Your Reef” membership? Honestly, you might as well. Especially if you’re already thinking about ordering from Top Shelf Aquatics. Give it a try, you can cancel anytime. There’s just something about receiving a box of coral every month at any price point. In my mind, this is the best kind of subscription.
