PRESENTATION
MARINE LIFE, THE FIRST ONLINE SALES WEBSITE SPECIALISED IN MARINE AQUARIUMS
Created in 2004 by Sébastien SOCCHARD, founder of WORLD NET, France's leading internet access provider, Marinelife.com is the first online sales website specialised in marine aquariums.
Sébastien SOCCHARD is an aquarium enthusiast as well as a web and new technologies professional; he decided to create this online store to mitigate the lack of choice in animals and equipment on the conventional marine aquarium market.
MARINE LIFE allows you to buy marine fish and invertebrates, seaweeds, live rocks, natural seawater, sea salt, sand, aquariums, decorations, marine aquarium equipment, food, marine additives, treatments, books and videos on marine aquariums, etc. online and on request. Marine Life can also install and maintain your aquariums.
To date, MARINE LIFE has delivered 70,000 packages of marine animals and has over 16,000 satisfied customers!
THE WIDEST CHOICE OF MARINE SPECIES IN EUROPE
European leader in online marine aquarium sales, MARINE LIFE offers you hundreds of common and rare tropical species of varied geographical origin.
RESEARCH AND INNOVATION SERVING MARINE AQUARIUMS
- Managed by marine aquarium enthusiasts, the MARINE LIFE website has always offered exclusive products by dedicating time and energy to finding and selling novelties, such as fresh seaweed (feed), live plankton, and rare species.
- MARINE LIFE also has several hundred references that have been selected, tested, and approved by our technical experts.
- In July 2009, MARINE LIFE invented the concept of an off-the-shelf aquarium for novice aquarium enthusiasts. This complete aquarium comes with natural seawater, live rocks, live sand, a detritivore kit, and marine fish and invertebrates. For the first time, the combination of live rocks, live sand, and natural seawater makes it possible to start an aquarium in two weeks instead of three months!
- For your convenience, MARINE LIFE offers you pre-composed detritivore kits according to the size of your aquarium.
- MARINE LIFE provides 100% BIOSECURE acclimation (preservation of health status without cross-contamination risk) to successfully introduce your new residents. Because putting specimens together is the most underestimated source of pathogen dispersal, MARINE LIFE ensures the following when acclimating its animals on its supplier's site:
- Batches of different origin are never put together.
- Specimens in the same batch are never put together.
- Each specimen is handled on its own through compartmentalisation and without the water from its environment coming into contact with the water of other specimens.
RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
MARINE LIFE strives to offer you the maximum number of cultured or captive bred species. For wild species, our supply source allows us to control how the animals are caught.
A REAL ‘NEW SHOPPING EXPERIENCE’
- In 2008, MARINE LIFE invented the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) concept. This concept was copied by a number of US online sales websites a few months later.
- At MARINE LIFE, our prices are fair.
MARINE-LIFE TV
In 2008, MARINE LIFE created the first video channel dedicated to marine aquariums: several hundred videos are now on Youtube for you to discover and observe underwater life.
RECOGNISED EXPERTISE
MARINE LIFE's expertise has also been recognised through our Marine Aquarium Council, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications.
