πŸ‘πŸ‘ After 60 years of fresh water, I'm making the jump to salt reef/fish. These guys were great, plenty of good advice ( I spent a hundred hours on YouTube pre-learning ). Excellent display of corals for all budgets. People often mention fish, selection, store, staff, nice, water, great, saltwater, tank, good,

    This is my first saltwater fish store I’ve ever been to. They was very welcome in knowledge of what they had explained it to me in details, so that I can understand the aspects of what I was getting into when starting salt water fish tank. Had a 3.5G weekly water test in store one day. They had a deal on a bigger tank and asked me if I was interested in yes now I have a bigger tank all fish from store r healthy and thriving in their new environment. I recommend anyone getting into the hobby to stop by the store and you will be lead in the correct direction.

    This is a new fish store. We have a salt water tank. They have a nice selection of coral and salt water fish. They also have fresh water tanks and fish. They are very nice. Greeting as you walk in and allow you to look without hoovering. We definitely will return.

    Sick + dying axolotls and bettas, rude employees, and a generally messy store make for an unpleasant customer experience. I also think I saw a case of ich or brooklynella in their clownfish tank.

  • 1/5 Saraisisis 9 months ago on Google
    please don’t buy an aquarium or fish. this place, like so many others exploits the fish pet industry and those who buy into it. the animals suffer tremendously with no over-site and laws to protect them. this place is horrendous.

    Went there for some fish and coral and walked out very happy. Staff was great and was very patient with me, even though I had so many questions. I used to go to another place in the area, but since my first experience, it will be my go to place.

    I go to this place all the time. The people that work there are great. Their tanks and all their stuff is always kept at reasonable prices. I’ve been going to them for some time now and have never been unhappy when I leave and get my stuff home.
