    Very impressive tanks and setup for the coral and fish, knowledgeable staff for a first time visit having done saltwater myself for 10+years, worth the drive if you live far away for sure, very clean and an amazing quarantine process and know your fish is eating and in a great condition during purchase is excellent that’s how it should look and be done for the respect of the sea life. I respect that!

    TSM is a fraud. I had to cancel a Fishel order of over $2500. I have been trying to get a hold of them to get a refund for over two months. I have sent them emails they keep telling me that they were working on it and nothing has been resolved. I just tried searching them up now for a phone number and there's no phone number listed. And now I realize that they are working under Rob from corals. I have no other choice but to hire an attorney and go after them for my $2500.

    Did a lot of research on the forums for legitimate, online retailers that actually do a proper quarantine. TSM was mention on several of the forums as providing a comprehensive 30 day quarantine with treatments. Ordered a 4.75” Blue Hippo and she came fat and beautiful. The shipping stressed her out considerably but I performed a nice drip acclimation on her and her color instantly returned. Had her now a month and she is doing great and eating like a pig.

    I had a great experience ordering fish here! I got a Mocha Clownfish and a Four Line Wrasse! They were well packaged arrived very healthy. Prices are great - I can’t wait for them to reopen to visit in person eventually.

    Josh and Rob are both very pleasant and knowledgeable. We've bought 3 fish from TSM for my wife's tank, and will be stocking my tank exclusively with TSM fish once it's up and running. Thanks guys, we'll probably see you again in a few weeks 😄

    I only buy fish, and now inverts from TSM only. I trust all their specimens are healthy as can be, and it’s great to not have to worry about ich, velvet, etc. EVER. This should be the standard in the hobby, and TSM is the leader. Five stars all the way, you guys always support me with every single order.

    TSM Aquatics has flawlessly delivered on over 10 orders for us. The fish, corals, and inverts have always arrived healthy and ready to eat! Josh and Rob are quick to respond to any questions I send their way so 5 stars all around!

    My fish came in a little stressed from shipment but TSM had amazing communication when I reached out about it. After a day or so, the fish has fully recovered and immediately was eating multiple types of foods. Super impressed and will buy again!

    Everything about TSM has been awesome. From the selection of fish to the customer service. My first order had a variety of different fish from tangs, anthias and blennys. The packing was superb. I Had a quick acclimation and fish are thriving. Highly recommend. Thank you TSM!

    Great communication. Beautiful, healthy fish. And hands-down some of the best packaging of livestock for the shipping journey that I've ever seen. Overall, a fantastic experience.

    This is the first time I’ve ordered from TSM Aquatics. Fish came shipped overnight in excellent condition and eating on the first day, even a fish that is considered finicky is eating wow. You’ll always have my business when ordering online fish.

    Finally got a chance to stop at TSM this weekend. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I always heard great things about their fish, but the coral variety is next level. Will definitely make the 1h trip out there again soon.

    TSM aquatics is the only place I will be getting my livestock from now on. They have a great quarantine protocol to ensure they are giving you healthy and beautiful specimens that will survive in your aquarium. In addition the colors and health of their fish are top notch. I highly recommend them!

    Oftentimes, a choice isn’t about money, but instead about the quality of a product and service. Although I have access to inexpensive specimens through my aquatic systems design company, those specimens are not always the most viable nor the best choice for a discerning client. A professional, quality retailer that provides meticulous care for their specimens upon receipt, that employs lengthy quarantine and disease abatement procedures and understands the importance packing for more than adequate temperature and shock insulation is a clear choice when seeking the best specimens. TSM exceeded my expectations in every way and my client is thrilled.

    Having fish already QT is priceless. Matt and the Team at TSM Aquatics are Amazing. The Fish are Healthy and well kept, but its the customer service that keeps me coming back. Pay the little bit of extra money, you get what you pay for. Wish I could give them 10 Stars.

    Fish arrived with heat packs and well packed. After a drip acclimation and being put in the tank, they adjusted right away. They came in very lively. Will definitely buy from TSM again. The owner texted me to see if the fish had arrived okay. That's service.

  • 5/5 M. J. 4 years ago on Google
    The selection is great and prices are too. Staff very friendly and they have helped us set up with advice about our system and how to keep water properly maintained. Visit their showroom if you get a chance.

  • 5/5 Krissy H. 9 months ago on Google
    Very nice guys that are very knowledgeable about everything related to fish. If you're looking for somewhere professional, go here, not pet smart!!!! They shared very interesting information about everything I needed to know to properly take care of the fish and what they like. If I could give 100 stars, I would because this is the best fish place to go to! Thank you for being so helpful!

  • 5/5 Ashish P. 1 year ago on Google
    I got my dream fish "Achilles tang" from TSM in feb 2022. I honestly dont think i could have QT such a difficult fish and glad to spend few hundred more on a fish that had the best chance of survival. best part it was eating frozens, pellets, an Nori within the first week and now eats anything in the tank.

  • 5/5 Dan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Shipped with Care, perfect Melanurus Wrasse, already acclimated and part of the gang! THANK YOU :)

  • 5/5 Michele G. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered a white tail tang and very impressed with the health of the specimen. Well package to the point where fedex delivered about 8hrs late, albeit it was stressed, the animal acclimated well with no issues. Worth the money to get a healthy fish, definitely will be ordering again from TSM.

  • 5/5 Kyle P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great customer service, when fish shipped a hurricane impacted shipping resulting in two day shipping. I ordered powder blue and powder brown tang, both came alive and are in good health. TSM was in contact with me during the delay, and offered good customer service. I recommend anyone looking to do business with this company to give them a shot.

  • 5/5 Danny The T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very happy with my purchase. The fish were beautiful and were eating prepared food within 24hrs. Great care was put into the packaging as well, water/salinity of the bags tested perfectly. I would definitely recommend and will be purchasing again for upcoming quarantined stock

  • 5/5 Peter P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place if you want quarantined quality fish. Piece of mind…

  • 5/5 Joshua L. 9 months ago on Google
    I won’t buy my marine fish anywhere else. I don’t have the space for my own quarantine tank, so I’m happy that they medicate and quarantine all their fish for at least 30 days. While this is a more expensive way to buy fish, I’ve never once had a disease outbreak in my tank. I’m lucky enough to be local so I can buy in person (Saturdays only), and my fish don’t need to be shipped. I’ve seen their operation and it’s very professional and well done. My only complaint is the old location was significantly larger which allowed them to have more fish quarantining and more fish available for sale than they do now.

  • 5/5 Thomas P. 10 months ago on Google
    First time going to TSM Aquatics and picked up some cool Zoas! Rob and Josh are great! Will be stocking my tank with more stuff soon!

  • 5/5 Samantha F. 10 months ago on Google
    We’ve been visiting TSM nearly every other weekend since we found them back in February. Rob and Josh are great guys and are extremely knowledgeable. We’ve bought 8 fish from them, a 120 gallon tank, a handful of inverts and as of yesterday my husband and I bought our first corals. Everything has been healthy and high quality. Make sure you sign up for their rewards program… just don’t look at how many points you’ve got and realize how much you’ve spent there 😅

  • 5/5 A T. 4 years ago on Google
    My first order from TSM arrived on time and healthy. Excellent customer service with fast response to questions. Will definitely be ordering again.

  • 5/5 Jennifer H. 1 year ago on Google
    Super healthy salt water fish and corals! Josh and Rob were easy to work with and willing to work with me to get me what I wanted. I'm definitely going to purchase my fish and corals here in the future! Beautiful fish were blending into my existing aquarium fish and eating within 10 minutes! I'm very happy.

  • 5/5 david h. 11 months ago on Google
    Great selection. Staff is really knowledgeable and friendly, especially if you are getting into the hobby. Good and reliable place to go to for stocking your reefer. Learned a lot of tips and tricks for coral care.

  • 5/5 Nick P. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent experience - Josh was great to work with throughout the entire process of ordering, quarantining & picking up my fish (August - Sept ‘23). Josh was always willing to answer my questions and provide updates regarding the status of my fish. Fast forward a couple months, and all fish remain extremely healthy and active (accepting all types of food). I highly recommend TSM to all reefers!

  • 5/5 Will M. 6 months ago on Google
    What can I say. Rob and Josh make the process of buying fish and coral easy and effortless. I’ve been shopping with them for about two years now and have stocked my tank with dozens of corals which are thriving. I’ve finally made the leap to try a quarantined fish and my new addition is fat, happy, and eating both frozen and prepared pellets and flakes. The level of care they show for their livestock is important to me as a consumer. I will continue to recommend TSM to anyone looking to find some healthy coral and quarantined fish. If I had to say one negative, it’s that my tank isn’t big enough to hold more fish and coral from TSM. Thank you to both Rob and Josh for the great service. Looking forward to snipe some more Zoas from you guys.

  • 5/5 Beth M. 6 months ago on Google
    Wow what an amazing experience ! If you’re looking for saltwater coral or fish this is the place to go. I’m a new reefer and they took the time to go through the steps to establish a successful tank. They have a great selection of coral and their fish are beautiful . We purchased all of our live rock from them today to get the tank up and running. We will definitely be going back for fish when the tank is ready! This store should be your first stop and last for fish and coral!

  • 5/5 Jordan D. 6 months ago on Google
    I can’t say enough good things about the fish and corals I’ve received from TSM. Josh and Rob have been awesome to work with. TSM has made it possible to stock my aquariums with healthy-conditioned fish that have all thrived since day one. The Cooperband butterfly I took home back in July was eating within minutes after being added to the display. The fish you receive from TSM are accustomed to aquarium life, they are conditioned to eat and recognize food. You can’t put a price on that.

  • 5/5 Brittaney H. 6 months ago on Google
    Love coming to visit Josh and Rob! My family of reefers and I, have purchased many fish and coral from TSM aquatics over the years. They are always in amazing condition and never needing to quarantine my own fish saves me so much hassle and time!!

  • 5/5 Ed H. 3 years ago on Google
    After going to TSM, I wont buy fish anywhere else. I have had several fish die shortly after purchase due to parasites and or stress. The facility focuses on the health of the fish. I brought home a Blonde Naso and Sailfin Tang. Both are doing outstandingly well. The fact that they were already quarantined is why every reefer should only buy fish from TSM. I can't wait to go back.

  • 5/5 Jason D. 3 years ago on Google
    High quality fish and terrific service. I'm definitely planning to make as many of my future fish and coral purchases from them as possible.

  • 5/5 Gary U. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent customer service and overnight packing! Fish arrived fat and healthy! Thanks again!!

  • 5/5 John S. 3 years ago on Google
    First time ordering a fish and it will not be the last. The fish was healthy, was picked on at first but after feeding time, was like the fish have been in the tank from day one. Will be ordering more.

  • 5/5 Remy M. 3 years ago on Google
    My favorite spot for the healthiest saltwater quarantined fish!

  • 5/5 4FordFamily 3 years ago on Google
    Quarantined fish are top notch. Great to deal with, healthy fish arrived. A++ HIGHLY recommend!

  • 5/5 jeff l. 3 years ago on Google
    Great communication from TSM throughout the order and shipping process. My two Clowns arrived well packaged, happy, and healthy! Looking forward to future orders!

  • 5/5 Timothy V. 3 years ago on Google
    Great online saltwater livestock retailer! Exceptional communication throughout the buying process, and the fish and ornamental shrimp I bought arrived alive and healthy. The fact that the quarantine fish ahead of selling them and ensure they are healthy and eating really puts your mind at ease. Couldn't recommend them more highly!

  • 5/5 James W. 3 years ago on Google
    The best shipping in the USA, there's no doubt. But that's not all. Such a charming and polite staff, especially for beginners like me. One of your workers spent almost half an hour explaining to me some basic things about the Sailfin Tang that I bought before. Prime!

  • 5/5 boltzalltheway 3 years ago on Google
    I have been in the saltwater hobby for over a decade. In that time I have purchased from and dealt with most of the online aquatic suppliers. I can honestly say TSM Aquatics has been the best supplier of healthy and vibrant fish I have encountered. Not only are their livestock the only fish I will put into my tank, but their customer service and support are top notch as well! I can't recommend them enough. It's an absolute pleasure purchasing from such a great business doing things the right way.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 3 years ago on Google
    Quarantined fish, exceedingly patient staff and business, with reasonable prices and discounted shipping compared to other retailers, there's really not allot else to say about a great business.

  • 5/5 keith r. 3 years ago on Google
    Everything i received was healthy and eating immediately after adding them to the tank. They have my business for now on!!!!

  • 5/5 Michael B. 3 years ago on Google
    Healthy fish - arrived on time!

  • 5/5 joe k. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent service. Beautiful healthy fish. Will use them again for sure

  • 5/5 Philly R. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place. If you want a healthy saltwater fish/corals/invertebrates, this is your place.

  • 5/5 Todd W. 4 years ago on Google
    Exceptional customer service!! I am so pleased with my new additions! The communication was fantastic, and the quality of my fish was amazing. I would highly recommend buying from TSM! They clearly care for their Marine life and it shows!

  • 5/5 Jim S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great customer service. Healthy, quarantined fish.

  • 5/5 Mike G. 3 years ago on Google
    TSM was very responsive with and helpful for a beginner like me.

  • 5/5 Jon W. 3 years ago on Google
    I've only made one purchase from TSM Aquatics so far, but they've already cemented themselves as the only vendor I will be buying my livestock from in the future. TSM has an incredible selection of fish (including many rare fish) and coral. But what really sets them apart from other vendors is that their quarantine process is one of the best (if not the best) in the industry. My recent purchase consisted of a Melanurus Wrasse and Purple Firefish. I am fortunate to live only an hour's drive away, so I was able to swing down and pick them up. TSM's new facility is huge. Although I unfortunately could not take a look around due to the pandemic, it looked beautiful from the lobby and I can't wait to head back there once they reopen to customers. I have always quarantined my new fish in the past, but given TSM's quarantine process and the fact that the wrasse and firefish weren't stressed from being shipped by mail, I decided to just add them to my display after a quick inspection and temp/salinity acclimation. The firefish immediately started exploring. The wrasse promptly hid in the sand, as expected, but was out and about the next morning. Both fish are incredibly healthy and immediately began eating whatever flakes, pellets or frozen food I happened to be feeding. They are both out and actively swimming around all day (unlike my wallflower clowns who like to hide in the corner behind rock work) and have been a welcome addition to my tank. Again, if it wasn't clear from this wall of text, I cannot recommend TSM highly enough when it comes to livestock. This is especially true if you don't have space to quarantine, aren't comfortable quarantining, are impatient (me) or are looking to buy a fish species that is either difficult to quarantine or is known to often harbor parasites or disease like an underwater Typhoid Mary. You will pay a small premium over other vendors who do not quarantine their livestock, but that premium is insurance against potentially wiping out all of your fish due to the introduction of a parasite or disease. I would imagine that the only thing worse than losing all of your fish to something like ich because you opted to introduce an unquarantined fish to your tank is the ~76 day fallow period thereafter where you get to contemplate your life choices.

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 3 years ago on Google
    Top notch fish! Love their 30 day quarantining

  • 5/5 Scott M. 3 years ago on Google
    TSM sent frequent communications regarding my fish shipment all along the process. Livestock arrived quickly and in excellent condition! Owner followed up afterwards to make sure things went smoothly.

  • 5/5 Ed C. 3 years ago on Google
    TSM Aquatics is my go to place to get rare and health fish for my aquarium. The staff are easy to work with, very accommodating and great customer service. I am always impressed about well they package my fishes and they always used quality packaging materials. Thanks Joe and his staffs. 👍

  • 5/5 Brad D. 3 years ago on Google
    Simply put...patient, great communication...and true qt! I would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Gloomy G. 4 years ago on Google
    Got my first fish from TSM today, a powder brown. It looks great, very healthy! It’s already swimming around and eating. Definitely would recommend

  • 5/5 Dale D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great to deal with. Fish were very well packed. Shipment was delayed and fish still arrived healthy and in good condition. I will be doing business with them again in the future.
