    Really great place! Some stores lose interest as soon as you say you're there to ask questions, but they were really great about it! Great prices too! They were even able to help me with information about a fish they don't sell there! (Betta fish. I understand and respect why they don't stock them, and am really glad they don't keep the poor things in cups all day.) Will definitely be going there again! A little small and a little understaffed, so don't go if you're in a hurry. Definitely go there if you want a good experience!

    I can’t stop going here, super nice owner Steve, he will take care of you along with his awesome staff. Super knowledgeable, great prices, and best of all Sho pieces for sale at great prices. One of the top LFS in the area. If you’re a beginner or experienced reefer this is the place to go and support. They will treat you like family and give you the best advice, saw Chris yesterday and he was very knowledgeable in the live stock selection for my tank, he dedicated his time in making sure I got what was right. Make the drive fellow reefers it’s worth it!

    They are the best!! We have been going to them for years. They are great with their customers willing to spend time answering any questions... and making sure you are making best decisions for your current tank considerations even if that means no sale that day. Awesome people great selections.

    Friendly staff, always willing to help and provide info, allot of knowledge from everyone, perfect place if you're just starting off or are an experienced reefer, I've been coming here for over 12 years since Matt owned it and it had only gotten better, Steve, Chris, Paul, and Jake all have a ton of knowledge and in this hobby you never stop learning, exceptional service and pricing, perfect for those that need maintenance and doing custom installs, nicest corals around, and if they don't have it they can get it. This place is the reason for my success, in this hobby you're always learning, I'm glad it's through this store, thanks again guys!

    Go here to get all my tank needs, military discount a huge + and I never have to take the gallons of water to my car as they are awesome to do so for me

    Been going a couple years now. Store is starting to look a bit worn down. Most times I go there isn't a good selection of fish. Pretty empty tanks. Place needs a good remodel IMO. Staff is nice, usually one person working. Decent selection of frozen foods.

    Great store! I'll definitely be back

  • 5/5 Hum 1 year ago on Google
    Nice local fish store. Reasonably priced for most items. However they seem to have a heavier focus on the saltwater section than freshwater section.

    Ran in yesterday to grab cycled water for my new Biocube. The guys in there were super knowledgeable and knew what they were talking about. Beautiful corals, livestock and display tanks. I would 100% recommend going here if you have any questions or want some really nice prices. Thank you guys so much, I will be back soon!

    Awesome place to do business with, if your new to the hobby or if your having troubles with your current set up, this is the spot to go! They will give you all the knowledge and help you need and won’t try and push products on you that are unnecessary! Absolutely the BEST aquarium team in the Midwest by far!!! Steve Goldman and his team are truly dedicated to this hobby and will make any tank look spectacular! Definitely has helped me out more times than I can count and I am forever grateful! Why go anywhere else when this could be your one stop shop for your aquarium needs! Keep up the Great work Sho Tank!!!
