Came here twice and could not get in both times … they don’t care about staten islanders salt water needs because they don’t take walk ins or answer the phone when you return to make an appointment

I was at this store looking to buy a saltwater setup. I chose a 90 gal fully equipped and said I would come back with a down payment and the rest when I was to pick up. Soon after I went and found the store closed. I’ve gone several times after that and still closed. I’ve called and was told under renovations and have seen this explanation in reviews. However it’s now more than 2 years and still not open and I went and bought a 125 set up elsewhere. It’s a shame cause it’s close to me but I’ve found other places to spend my money. I don’t understand how you can keep a shop and not allow customers in?! The ordering online thing may be convenient to some but without a replacement guarantee . I won’t try it . I’d rather see the corals and fish in real life than just a picture . I will say the staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly

I wish they had more freshwater fish, and more decor other then lava rocks, and slate. Other then that nice clean tanks. Tons of salt water fish and I saw some great prices for things other stores would want a arm and a leg for. EDIT: THEY'RE NEVER OPEN AND NEVER PICK UP PHONE.... SINCE COVID THEY CLOSED THE DOOR. LIKE DUDE ITS OVER STOP BEING PARANOID AND OPEN THE DOORS. I USED TO BUY HERE ALL THE TIME

I was looking for high end equipments for my 300gal reef. Most stores don’t stock expensive equipment. Found a few that had it but unfortunately they were way overpriced. Once I got to this store I was super impressed on how clean the tanks were. Not only they had everything I needed. Most importantly they were not overpriced. Live stock were super healthy and Amazing selection of corals.

this place is super clean! Couldn’t find a single dead/sick fish. You can tell they really take good care of the fish here. They have an amazing selection of CORALS which you don’t see often in Staten Island. Prices were very good. Owner is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great place. 1 star off for early closing time. Wish they were open for a few hours longer. Edit July 1 2022: are you guys open for in store shopping yet?

They have nice salt water displays but the variety of fresh water fish wasn't there. I didn't also feel like it was a fish store... it didn't feel like an inviting fish moment like I used to have when petland was open...also no one greeted me, explained anything, didn't say thanks for shopping at the store... I got 2 fish but I'm going to find another place to buy my fish

I was really nervous ordering as this was the most expensive coral purchase I've ever made and they were to be shipped all the way from New York to Texas but boy am I glad I did. Truly a first class experience. Delivery process was super fast, answered my many questions quickly and professionally, the price was very good, and most importantly the corals are absolutely ridiculous in real life! :)

Very cool place with alot of cool fish. Good place to go with a kid.

This place cant get any better Ronnie and his staff are amazing . We are new to the world of salt water tanks and they have been nothing less that professional and helpful. Phone calls are answered promptly and they are so accommodating. Their fish are beautiful and healthy. They have guided us from the start, monitored our tank to make sure it was fish ready and provide maintenance service. Truly a great place to deal with.

The fish here are exceptionally healthy and beautiful... healthier than any other fish store I've gone to. The staff is friendly, and they are extremely knowledgeable. I can tell that they genuinely care about their fish! They have a huge selection of fresh & saltwater fish, (they have two big rooms full of fish to pick from, and they have some really exotic ones)! They also sell corals, rocks, driftwood, tanks, tank covers and lights, fish food, decor, gravel, filters, filter media, etc.

Honestly probably the best live fish store I have ever been in, and is most certainly the best live fish store in Staten Island. Whatever you need they will probably have. Ron is very helpful and goes above and beyond that of what any other retailer ever will. He helped me tremendously and selflessly putting my problems first and his profits second. Truly a great live fish store and the only one I will be going to for anything thus far. Prices are on point for all merchandise but livestock seems to be a little higher than but they are certainly worth their value because you know you can trust them. The only problem for me is it is a thirty minute drive whenever I wanna go there.

I live in Fl. and purchased some high end corals on 2 occasions, all I can say this store has amazing 🔥 corals. It was a pleasure dealing with them before and after receiving my orders, imo one the best when it comes to LPS.

This place is ok when it's open. The problem is, is it always seems to be closed. Staten Island deserves better.

Great fishkeeping shop. They always have nice stock . They maybe pricier than other local shops but it's worth it. They always give good advice too if you need help they know what they're talking about

Honestly the best selection of torch corals I have ever seen in my reefing life in any store , the dude got everything nice!

Very clean and healthy fish Staff was wonderful and very helpful I would definitely go back there if I need more fish.

Heard about this shop from a fellow reefer who has one of the most amazing torch collections I've ever seen. His quote, "They are expensive but the quality is second to none". Took a chance and let me say, the flesh on these torches...wow...flesh for days. Insane color. Fat, healthy and vibrant!!! Unfortunately I had some issues and if you've been reefing long enough you will know what I mean when I say the blame game happens all too often in response to failures. THIS is what sets them apart from the rest. The willingness and responsiveness of the owner blew me away. Anyone can sell you nice corals. Anyone can take responsibility for the sale when things go right. What makes you different is when things don't go right. Trust is a hard thing to have for an out of state purchase of a live animal. I've found that trust and I've found my go to vendor for torches. They will not disappoint in any way. Thank you for being you!!!

Store is fun just to come and see.

Nice selection of healthy fish at fair prices! Service is great

Great knowledgeable service. Great selection of fish.

Mix feelings I never know if I'm paying too much or too little I feel there is not consistency on their price, which might be because of demand or supply but still. I always come out of there broke.
