    This place is amazing! It has everything you need and more! The owner of the store is absolutely incredible and has a great team. He has helped me with every step of the way in getting a fish tank of your dreams. Him and his great team were able to install a 110 gallon Waterbox tank on my 5th floor within an hour or so without any complications. It’s been almost a month and I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. I recommend anyone who is into this hobby to pass by and check it out!

    Very pretty store filled with a lot of tanks and nice corals. Don’t sleep on this bird road shop AND they’re open late!

    Update! Owner is so clueless that he doesn't even know how to properly list hours of operation on his own property 😂 This use to be my go to store but every fish and coral from here dies in days. Overpriced and the owner Joel is a nightmare to deal with. Calls his customers fat in local chat rooms!

    Every coral i asked the price on , i was told not for sale. My buddy and I walked out. Why have all those corals if you arent selling them?

    Wife and I flew into Miami for a weekend. We stopped by here on our way to the air port. Very clean store, the corals were very happy. The price was good. And the fish tanks looked clean.

    This place is awesome. Friendly service. Extremely knowledgeable staff. Most importantly healthy fish and corals. Clean and well kept store. Great prices and fun raffles. There’s no way I could have built my tank without them. Don’t waste your time and/or money going anywhere else.

    Let me start this by saying that I have been to many, many other aquarium stores. None can compare to Ocean View Aquariums, NONE. The level of expertise and help you receive from the staff is phenomenal. They have knowledgeable personnel who truly understand the chemistry behind the hobby and who are more than willing to help you solve your problems. And believe me, there’s no problem they can’t solve. I’ve been going to this saltwater aquarium store for more than 3 years now and I could not, in good conscience, recommend any other place to my friends and colleagues. The base for any successful saltwater tank is the WATER CHEMISTRY, and boy do they have it down. There are employees there who can solve nearly any chemistry issue even if they have to think outside of the box to figure it out. These guys know what they’re talking about. This is not a cheap hobby by any means, but this store has AMAZING PRICES, lower than the competitors, along with wonderful associates who know they’re stuff. It truly means a lot to have people who work there who are ready and able to send you home with all the information you need to keep your new friends alive. There are several other stores in the area, but if you want the BEST SERVICE and PRICES and SELECTION of FISH and CORAL, go here, you will never look back. They even have SALES, I got two Zoa frags at 2/$30 on a zoa that would’ve easily cost me $15 per polyp at other stores, let alone $15 for the whole frag. I promise you will not regret investing your time and money here. You’ll even want to thank me! I included some pictures of the store.

  • 5/5 Luis A. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner is very hands on. The staff is really knowledgeable and provider great feedback. Doesn’t feel like you are being sold on things. They allow you to browse and the overall experience was great. They provide both sea and synthetic water options by the gallon. I picked up several fish and they are beautiful and alive. The yellow tangs look great and are really healthy. The flow and look of the store is nice as well.

👍👍 Very interesting place for sure. I have been working in the tropical fish and pet industry for decades and was impressed with the burial crypts used as concrete ponds.
