Fabio, Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, shipping costs to Europe can be expensive, and we have no control over them.
Team, AquaCave
This company is the worst company I’ve…
This company is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with they are not good to their customers I purchased copper power 1 gallon and the medication was not good like if it was expired and when I asked for a refund Albert Andrasz said that they were not responsible for the product’s defects that’s absurd never in my life has a company told me that before please be careful when buying from this store they won’t do right by their customers.

Hello,
The product worked properly since you recorded the proper copper level in your tank (2.5ppm). There are a lot of other variables that will affect the performance of the medicine, including the type of infection and possible misdiagnosis.
Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee the cure-all results.
Buyers beware
Buyers beware. ..NO, BUYERS RUN AWAY....FAR AND FAST! Ordered a 250 upgrade kit for my sump on June 28th 2025 and even paid for their expedited shipping. Paid and 1st red flag was not recieving order confirmation...started calling and emailing immediately. Within a week this clown show ignored 15 phone calls and 3 emails. Finally had bank reverse charge and now it will be my life ambition to warn others of this shady organization...read their reviews, this is a ongoing problem with this organization...thieves

Richard,
I'm showing that your order was shipped on 06/30/25 (Monday) and delivered on 07/05/25 (Saturday). It took an extra day due to the holiday. A copy of your invoice and the tracking number were sent to the email you provided with your order. Please check your spam folder.
We were closed from 07/02-07/04/25 to celebrate the 4th of July, so we had no access to the emails, but we do not have any message from you regarding this order.
Let me know if we can be of further assistance.

Please be aware. Aquacave looks like a professional company bit it is not. They take your money but when your shipment does not reach you they wash their hands and do not even bother to reply you inqu

Fantastic service. Fantastic product. I needed a small skimmer and they had it fit the best price around. Lower by 20%. Bought an Icecap nano.
