    Friendly welcoming service, with a nice selection of fish/inverts at good prices. The man working there was very helpful and knowledgeable. The best part was that the 3 fish and coral-banded shrimp I bought all survived and are thriving. Highly recommended and will return again.

    Beware, sold me a $100 fish with Ich. Please don't buy livestock here. We were fortunate their parasitic livestock didn't take out an entire tank of beautiful beings but it could easily happen to you. When we moved to Florida, I had them set up our 100 gallon tank, and purchased a few firefish and a Flame Angel from the shop 6 weeks later when the tank had cycled. Overall ~$1600. Within 2 days of bringing the Angel home, it showed signs of ich - the dreaded white spots. It's a fact that the parasite came from them; it's a brand new tank and everything in it came from this store. Several days later the Angel was worse. We had to remove all live rock and turn the tank upside down to get the fish out to quarantine. Called twice to plead with the team there as I watched this beautiful creature die a horrible death before my eyes, they gave me line about copper in the tanks etc - but again, there is no where the Ich could have come from besides there. Asked for the owner to call me, no reply. No offer for a maintenance visit, medication or even a partial refund. Poor little Angel died the next day.

    Had an amazing experience with the staff at Aquatic Jewels. I ordered a shark egg and was a bit afraid of ordering one and it not being viable. However, I received it and it was packaged very well. Big thick bag with lots of water, shipped in a cooler and packed with foam peanuts. I put a light to it and it was alive and kicking. I can even see the tail moving and the stripes along the body. I couldn’t be more impressed with the professionalism that was shown while ordering. Everyone was nice and helpful. I would more than recommend this company. Thank you all so much!

    They are most unethical business around overcharge by double for there fish compared to most other stores. To make matters worse they overcharged me by 55 dollars and have the nerve to say i left that as a tip. Are they crazy who leaves tips at a fish store? They won't reimburse or even give me a store credit. Unbelievable they say the kid that scammed me for 55 bucks already spent the money its his and hung up saying sorry nothing we can do. She says she gets 55 dollar tips all the time what a lie. I am amazed how this business operates, go anywhere else and pay half for same fish without a disease and without getting robbed! To update this review the credit card company looked into and reimbursed me the 55 dollars citing the company for fraud.

    I've spent over $500 this month on corals and fish from this place. Last week I bought a blue tang and when I got home I realized it was covered in itch. I isolated it so it wouldn't ruin my tank since I've never had that before. The tang died on day 2. I called saying I have pictures of it covered when I got it and didn't realize. They could not care less. Said my tank gave it to him (even though I have proof it already had it). I can not believe how unfriendly they were over the situation. They basically told me to go f myself. I will never be returning to them after this horrible customer service. I would of been happy with any kind of store credit considering they clearly sold me a sick fish with no heads up and could potentially ruin my whole 55 gallon system.

    The staff is knowledgeable and helpful (looking at you Billy), the aquariums are clean, livestock is healthy and well cared for. Prices are fair and location is convenient. I highly recommend this place for beginners (lots of quality supplies available to get up and running) or experts looking for a reliable spot for water, livestock and excellent service. This shop isn't big in size but it's huge in quality.

    Ordered a fu Manchu and a blue throat trigger, unfortunately the fu Manchu did not happen but I have been informed and kept up to date about the health of them before they were sent to me, so they decided the fu Manchus were not in good enough shape to be shipped, which they ended up not making it for them, so A++ communication and definitely a place I’d buy from again as I trust they are going to send me a healthy animal And they will text and show videos and photos of the animals in your order which is a huge plus for me as well bri g able to see the exact animal I’m getting sent

    Purchased $400 worth of fish from this place and the fish were sick. Ended up killing all the fish in my tank and when I call to see if they can offer store credit towards new fish they told me no. Very disappointed in this place. I’ll never buy anything here again. I’d be VERY careful purchasing from them and putting your tank at risk.

    Very nice store! Everything is well kept and clean. Beautiful fish, coral, etc... The best part of all, honestly, was the customer service. Matt was one of the most helpful sales people I've ever met. Very knowledgeable, friendly, but not in an annoying ,pushy way. Great experience. I will be back.

    I have now been a happy customer of Aquatic Jewels for a few months now, and I can honestly say I have continued to go there, and will continue to buy all my salt water marine needs there because they are by far the best around. I’ve purchased fish, crabs, rocks, corals, anemones, supplies and more and I’ve been happy with every purchase made. The staff is always very friendly and also knowledgeable. I highly recommend. Their store setup is also amazing! My sons love going there no matter how many times we’ve been. Two thumbs up!! Here are some pictures of my aquarium that I was able to put together, thanks to Aquatic Jewels.

    The shop was beautiful inside. The fish selection was amazing. Unfortunately we purchased a scoly coral. Got home and noticed 3 Aiptasia on the 3 Bristol worms came out during the Red Sea dip we noticed a huge Vermetid and a flat worm. None of this was seen and I didn’t check because I didn’t even see aiptasia anywhere in the display tank. Needles to say we had to get the vermetid snail off at the base and superglue not to mention I had to use Red Sea aiptasia killer it was too much for one dip. Bristol worms normal to find never saw them growing in the skeleton of the scolys before. Poor thing died . Really really sad!! Make sure you have them check the entire body of the corals. Maybe you should check your coral and preform dips on your coral you sell. I wasted $120 dollars to get home and not even make it through the dip!! Everyone make sure you dip don’t just assume it’s a clean store cause you never know what your putting in your tanks and they obviously don’t care! I gave this 2 stars because it was a clean shop you all hide your issues well!

    The store is great for all experience levels. The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and great to work with. Matthew was so helpful in picking out additions for our specific tank.

  • 5/5 Denise M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is great!! The workers are are nice and patient. And so helpful. I just moved from NY and took a slight loss. I was able to go there and get what I wanted to rebuild my tank. Also they are honest with prices and weather or not something you are interested in will be a good fit for your tank size and so on. Definitely recommend anyone to go this reef store.

  • 5/5 Rena A. 4 years ago on Google
    What an amazing company! We have had saltwater tanks in the past and my husband decided he wanted another one after 8 years. I was very hesitant because I know what moving one entails. We found a 130 gal tank online and talked the guy into selling it with rock sand, water, and all. I called Say Aquariums to get a quote and it was very reasonable. Even the guy we bought the tank from committed on how perfect the removal of the tank was. He was up front about everything and very professional. Customer service was the best. Even though he services tanks he gave us information that we would’ve had to pay for from anyone else. Thank you Daniel!!! You are the best.
