We're very lucky to have so many reviews from customers of Aqua Essentials, and it might be something that you have not seen. I also appreciate that for new customers, it can be a bit of a gamble when buying aquarium plants online, especially if you have had poor aquatic plants in the past from other retailers and as result are slightly anxious about purchasing again.
As a result, displaying unedited aqua essentials reviews is a great way to see what customers decide to write about us - a bit like when people review products on Amazon. They are 100% legitimate, and we back this up by providing images of customers - some are happy to send in their picture to accompany their reviews as that's how strongly they feel about it, and some go even further and record a Video Testimonial so we post it on our YouTube page (if you're interested click here to view some of them). This further reinforces none of them are made up - can you imagine having the time and inclination of making up over 800 reviews?!
It's always great to get good reviews, because when shipping aquarium plants, that's your ultimate goal - we want customers to be happy and most of all recommend us to other people, as word of mouth is by far the most powerful advertising medium. So below is a selection of our latest reviews and I hope you like them and if you are thinking of buying aquatic plants or other planted aquarium products, then it should take away any concerns you might have.
As ever, excellent service from a friendly and efficient company. A pleasure dealing with.

I have used aqua essentials a few times now and I am always happily surprised by the postman the next day with my plants! Excellent quality plants they are too and very reasonably priced. I was also happy to find some of the harder to get hold of bulb plants for a great price. I highly recommend aqua essentials and have already recommended to my friends and family.
Useful place to find hard to locate treatment

I hunted everywhere in the usual UK dealers to find Aerocol Columbo to help get an outbreak of Blue Green Algae under control. It cost me around £16 including delivery at Aqua Essentials and arrived promptly.I'd happily use them again if I need any other plants or fish keeping paraphernalia.

First and foremost to let people know, I use to be a keen Aquarium keeper up until 18 months ago. Especially planted aquariums, which I what I wanted to get back into.What I ordered was: Nymphaea stellata Bul, Aponogeton boivinianus Bulb, Anubias on Wood - Floating, as well as other items. After I ordered my items which I did before the deadline for next day delivery, I received an email stating they would arrive in the next four working days, which confused me as I did it before the clock at the top of the screen ran down. However before I could get annoyed they actually did arrive the next day, which I was more than happy with. Packaging was excellent, all plants firmly packed and sealed to keep moisture in, although they were not labelled, which when you haven't had bulbs before can be confusing. The Anubias hasn't worked with one suction cup provided to fit it to look like it is floating so is currently on the substrate, the Aponogeton boivinianus Bulb however has grown like it is missing out on something!! And the Nymphaea stellata Bulb hasn't surfaced yet, which is unfortunate but will not stop me using this company again. In all the years I have kept Aquariums this is the best delivery of live plants I have found to date.

I would like to say that the customer service is excellent as I am new to buying from them so had a lot of questions to ask via email which were answered promptly . I ordered some good which arrived on time. As I already had some of my old products left I haven't used the new ones yet.
Monday 09 March, 2015
Being new to the aquarium keeping hobby, I have found this site invaluable.The next day delivery is superb, and all the plants and products have arrived in pristine condition.
Saturday 07 March, 2015
As an experienced online shopper I am used to the ups and downs of purchasing stuff remotely. Aqua Essentials does exactly what the customer reviews suggest. You order things and good quality items arrive very quickly with precise email communications. Exactly as it should be which is rare these days.

Being stuck in the " Backwoods of Norway " it's difficult getting hold of quality products for my planted tank. Aquaessentials have now changed that, great choice of products on their webpage and a shipping calculator, products arrived very quickly and at a good rate, very happy :-).

Since my first order on Aqua Essentials I have never sourced my plants from anywhere else. Delivery is prompt and the condition of the plants have been nothing short of impeccable. Excellent variety means you can easily find what you're looking, and the staff are enormously helpful with questions and have even suggested alternatives when a plant I ordered wasn't in great condition. This should give you an idea of the high standards that Aqua Essentials maintain. 5 Stars!
Tuesday 10 February, 2015
Im new to planted aquariums and looked at a few options to source plants for my first tank. Im so happy I chose AquaEssentials, the service has been excellent. Delivery was very fast, the plants arrived in fantastic condition and the amount of plants provided was more than generous. Additionally the staff were quick to answer questions on products I posted on the website. All in all a 5* service.
Excellent service and products

I have only just got back into the hobby after some 30 years, a hell of alot has changed in this time. I wanted a tank that was fully planted and found that C0 2 was the way forward. Most of the aquatic shops that I tried didn't seem to have what I wanted and didn't give me much confidence. I came across Aquaessentials and thought that I would give them a try.I am so glad that I did! The quality and choice is brilliant, also I found the blog very informative. I have found the staff very helpful and have always kept me informed regarding deliverys. Deliverys have always been prompt and well boxed. I would thoroughly recommend them. A very reliable company.
Wednesday 28 January, 2015
i've bought many plants online and always had the same problem, poor packaging and poor delivery, THIS IS NOT THE CASE HERE!Aqua Essentials very clearly take care in what they do. I ordered £££'s worth of gear including plants and co2 equipment, all of which arrived next day and in perfect condition. These guys are undoubtably the only retailer I will use in the future and if you want to be happy with your plants, they'll be the only one you'll use to x
