Fauna Marin announced a few weeks ago that they had planned to released a direct to consumer website that would allows users of the Fauna Marin range of products to purchase their products directly from them. The site officially launched yesterday for users in the United States. Taking a quick glance, most all of Fauna Marin’s products are available to purchase but we did notice a few issues. The biggest one is the lack of a secure connection when placing your order through their internal shopping cart, this could easily be corrected and we doubt they will get many orders until they fix this issue. This is a major strategy change for Fauna Marin with the reasoning behind the move so that more consumers could order their items and not having to rely on the small dealer network of Fauna Marin. Here in the United States Fauna Marin has less of a presence than its European counterparts, something that Fauna Marin hopes to change in the coming months as the zeovit and balling methods become more popular with hobbyists.

Yay, it’s about time that there is an english version that I can understand.
One other note, many European vendors are terrified of bringing there products to the US because they don’t always have the labeling or marketing power that US products have.
Thats not a concern with fauna marin, being brought in via canada all labelling is correct and also being heavily marketed throughout North America the whole product line is gaining market share fast.
The issue I hear from hobbyists buying USA made products is that they can not find a company that will show what research background they have done in developing the product they sell. The Europeans seem to lead the way in both research and also making a product do exactly what it is supposed to do. This is why Fauna Marin is so successful.
Drop fauna marin an email anytime and they will show you exactly what theyre facility looks like and give you a detailed ingredients list of all products.
If you need to find a retailer just drop us a line. sales@aqua-digital.com
