So we found Ed on Craigslist, he had a posting selling several rare clowns & we decided trying a local breeder was a good option. We could not possibly be happier with our purchase, it was a reasonably priced and extremely informative purchase. Ed was very patient, took his time and explained all the pro’s & con’s for each of the fish we were looking at. He then took the time to give us all the food options available to us, where the fish came from and how to get them to form a relationship with an Anenome. After we left, we both commented on how much we enjoyed our time with him & he’s since followed up with five separate emails, inquiring as to how things with the clown’s went.

I ran into Ed by accident. The previous owner of my aquarium had left the receipt for a pump and decided to call KMA after it failed. Not only did Ed go out of his way to help me with the pump, I made a new friend!
Ed can get you some of the best aquarium gear in the bay area. He won’t BS you into buying stuff that you don’t need. The support that follows is top notch. I would recommend KMA Intl to all my friends.

Ed is the Best!!! if you are looking an expert in the field and someone who won’t sell you what you do not need look no further. HONEST and KNOWLEDGEABLE what more can you ask for. I would not go anywhere else if ED carry the product. I have bought BM160 for my 90 gallon reef and H&S A110 for my 40 gallon. Ed gave me a deal and help me with the set up. he even broke in the skimmers for me so that i don’t need to have the waiting period. Now i have a 150 gallon plus 40 gallon sump and have a BM250 sold to me by ED. that thing is a killer skimmer. I also pick up HO T5 lighting end caps and ice cap reflectors from ed. also he is one of the only dealer of ROD food int he bayarea. i know he was the first for sure. thanks ed for all your help.

I met Ed from a reference. I was setting my grow out tank and work my water volume up later. I was starting out a 90 gallon total water volume tank and anticipated to get in the neighborhood of about 220 total gallons fully stocked. I went through everything with Ed, broke down what I anticipated. He recommended me the best item for my set up. I have never turned back or went into any resentment. His knowledge of the products he carries as well as characteristics of each is second to none. If you want someone who takes pride in what they do with a passion I cannot recommend any none other than Ed. To top it all off he has great customer service even after I bought the product. I did not even have to go to the vendor or a forum to get my answers, Ed was there to walk me through my questions.

I met Ed Lum through a craiglist ad and his knowledge of the hobby impressed me from the get go. In this hobby you can spend quite a bit of money with the wrong equipment and not to mention bad advice. Ed steers you in the right direction from the get go and will not oversell you with something you don’t need. He’s the only local distributor of highend equipment such as Deltec and H & S. Although, he does carries bang for your buck equipment such as ati, aquatinics, & hydor.
I’m only sorry I could not give a higher recommendation for KM Associates Int’l !
