Gateway Aquatics is a St. Louis, Missouri–based professional consulting and aquatics business with deep roots in the hobby and more than two decades of online and retail experience. What began as a personal hobby in 1998 grew into online livestock sales in January 2005, and soon expanded through GatewayAquatics.com. In April 2005, the business opened a full retail saltwater store in South St. Louis, helping build a local presence while continuing to serve customers through eBay and online listings. Gateway Aquatics LLC originally focused on aquacultured frags and small corals, then broadened as demand grew—adding bigger corals, inverts, and some fish. In September 2006, the business launched ZoManiac.com, a website dedicated to aquacultured coral propagation and related aquaculture offerings, while keeping its online coral focus strictly on aquacultured zoanthids/Ricordea and other aquacultured items. ZoManiac.com does not sell wild colonies or wild invertebrates and fish; those are handled through GatewayAquatics.com and the retail store. Customers benefit from a brick-and-mortar operation with hands-on knowledge, supported by custom sourcing and support for aquatic setups. The team can special order items including custom tanks and rare corals and fish. They also provide custom tank setups and pond services for both residential and commercial locations, along with biweekly or monthly maintenance. For shipping, Gateway Aquatics ships livestock within the U.S. with a full live arrival guarantee in the 48 contiguous states, while international shipping is available without a live guarantee; customers can email sales gatewayaquaticscom for rates. With thousands of corals, hundreds of fish and inverts, and a track record of shipping well over 2,000 packages worldwide, Gateway Aquatics continues to combine local expertise with reliable service for aquatics enthusiasts around St. Louis.
