Gateway Aquatics is a long-established aquatics business serving customers across the Kansas City, Missouri area with professional support for saltwater reef livestock and related services. Founded from a hobby that began in 1998, the business has been selling livestock online since January 2005, starting primarily on eBay and expanding with Gatewayaquatics.com in April 2005. Within the first year, Gateway Aquatics LLC opened a full retail saltwater store in South St. Louis, Missouri, building a hands-on location that complements its online presence. As the business evolved, the focus shifted from small aquacultured frags and corals to larger corals, inverts, and some fish. In September 2006, Gateway Aquatics further developed ZoManiac.com—its website geared toward aquacultured corals and aquaculture-style offerings such as propagated zoanthids/ricordea, along with aquacultured inverts and fish. ZoManiac.com does not sell wild colonies or wild inverts and fish, while wild items are handled through Gatewayaquatics.com. In addition to livestock sales, Gateway Aquatics offers custom tank setups and pond work for both residential and commercial locations, along with biweekly or monthly maintenance. Customers can also benefit from special ordering, including custom tanks and rare corals and fish. For shipping, the business offers a live arrival guarantee for livestock shipped within the US (48 states) and ships internationally without a live guarantee; customers can email for international shipping rates. Gateway Aquatics is a brick-and-mortar operation and has shipped well over 2,000 packages worldwide, reflecting deep experience and ongoing commitment under owner Chad Smith.
