    Wow! These guys are awesome. My wife and I just started a new Reef Aquarium and the guys here have been amazingly helpful. The tanks and facility are super clean. They have a great selection of corals and fish. I live 20 miles away but I will continue coming here for all my fish needs.

    My wife and I traveled about 65 miles to check out Ocean Aquatics as I am trying to find a business that sells Quality Saltwater Corals and fish at a reasonable price, we found it here with them. Absolutely worth the drive, We will be returning for all our future purchases. Outstanding customer service, I was like a child in a toy store with the large variety of corals and fish on hand. Thank you team at Ocean Aquatics, the new additions to our tank look amazing.

    The owners is there all the time and is super helpful and he actually helps people out. I live over an hour away and he gave me a discount just because of my drive! Now their selection is amazing! They have it all tangs, torches, cheap frags, rare frags, rare fish etc they have it and if they don’t? They’ll order especially for you! The only LFS you need is Ocean Aquatics!!!

    This is a new saltwater place in Inland Empire area, very nice guy Kent welcomed me. It’s still on the process of setting up the whole store. I’m sure this will be a great place to shop for corals and saltwater fish...

    So knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! From the moment I walked in, they treated me like family! And speaking of family, the owner was nice enough to give my nephews a in depth tour and explanation of all of his animals! He went above and beyond for us. They take amazing care of the animals. Tanks are clean, fish are happy, and the place smells clean! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get good information and quality products for their aquarium.

    these guys here are super cool and fun to talk to. they hooked me up with super deals on coral and helped me out with a nice insulated box for my long drive along with some other freebies

  • 5/5 Brianna R. 5 years ago on Google
    We just started our first salt water tank. This store has been AMAZING at answering all of our question (open or not they have ways for you to contact them). Our tank is coming together well and all of their information has helped bolster our little community. THIS IS THE ONLY STORE I WILL GO TO...and drive 30 miles one way to get there.

  • 2/5 L0stS0ul 5 years ago on Google
    Saw a lot of dead floaters, fish all look sickly petworlds selection is way better.

  • 5/5 Timothy B. 5 years ago on Google

    Great Guys. Extremely knowledgable. Our go to saltwater store.

  • 5/5 Erika K. 5 years ago on Google
    Wasnt sure they carried RODI water, and yet found out they did! Excellent customer service and humble people. They have so many corals and salt water fish/sharks! They can likely get anything you request. I will definitely be coming here from now on!

  • 5/5 Keith F. 5 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Very knowlegable and friendly. Always willing to help.

  • 5/5 Jesus A. 3 years ago on Google
    First time there. Was really impressed with the frags selection. I’ve been to just about every aquatic store in the inland empire and have not seen a layout like this one! 👌🏽 The store attendant Ken was super cool very humble person and generous. I recommend this shop 100%

  • 5/5 Kyle J. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. I was starting a nano reef coming from 18 years of freshwater and they guys there have been a mainly helping in navigating coral selection. They have a great selection of corals to chose from, and even time I dip the corals, nothing comes off them :) Definetly worth stepping in and checking things our at a minimum if you're a reef keeper!

  • 5/5 Mike m. 2 years ago on Google
    Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The guys there are always eager to help and educate people. As a beginner they gave me good advice and pointed me to what I would need without breaking the bank.

  • 5/5 Neil p. 2 years ago on Google
    Didn't buy anything, I delivered them fish for a friend. Nice and calm setting and parking is on the side.

  • 5/5 Krystal H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jammie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Happy to see that this store is expanding. Can't wait to see their display. Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable. Also, employees provide a wealth of information and sometimes a back story to the fish. One can tell the employees love this hobby.

  • 5/5 Hannah m. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome store. Walked in was greeted immediately, the store is open and wide. Variety of corals and fish. Anyone who wants to buy corals or fish should come. Awesome deals and prices.

    I have been coming to ocean aquatics for the last year for ALL my reefing needs and wants. I just wanted to give ocean aquatics a huge thank you for everything they do you help me with tanks. IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

  • 5/5 Evan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Five star store! Here is my explanation. I spent months looking for an octopus and couldn’t find one until one of my local coral friends told me about Ocean Aquatics. He said, they are the best in Southern California. I was skeptical at first until I checked them out and explained what I was looking for and I was given great customer service like no other store I’ve been too. I was treated with the level of respect to a good friend 10/10. Then there’s the price, throughout the time I’ve been doing business there I know for a fact it isn’t about the money for them, countless times I have seen prices for products I have never found anywhere else and I mean it’s shocking for the Quality. Anyways as far as prices go , I definitely give them a 10/10. Then there’s quality of product. Now I’m not going to say any names but the biggest fish store in my area has cheap sick products so they can sell large quantities, then there’s the closest store to me which all their product it’s contaminated with ich , so I know by far the quality of Ocean Aquatics fish are in fact the The best in town! No diseases, quality fish, that’s 10/10 for product. Summary 5 out of 5 gold stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. without a doubt the best fish store in Southern California. I wouldn’t refer anyone anywhere else. Pics of my favorite pet octopus ❤️

    The guys here are phenomenal. I started my first saltwater tank this year with them and they were so helpful and knowledgeable about what I needed and have helped me every step of the way, even when I neglected my tank for a period and ir started crashing. Very patient guys, smart, and care about you and their fish. Tons of variety, and they can get you whatever you want if they don't have it in store. Love coming here!

    This store is great now i think they have closed but the lady there was very nice and i had a great time there. While they were open they had some cute angelfish as well great vibes.

  • 5/5 Josh B. 1 year ago on Google
    Owner is awesome. Very personable and always fun to talk to. Clean and take care of their fish/corals.

  • 3/5 M P. 1 year ago on Google
    Worker didn't know the price of anything there, only the owner knows what anything costs. It was not busy yet it felt like no one was interested in helping me.

  • 5/5 Dan's A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to go for your saltwater hobbiest needs. Kenny and Brian are great on deals and full of knowledge and will take care of you.

  • 5/5 Summer R. 1 year ago on Google
    Ken and Brian are by far the most awesome people ! So friendly and they actually care about what they are selling you. Best aquatic store in history of ever :)

  • 5/5 Cruz R. 10 months ago on Google
    I've been going to Ocean Aquatics for most all my needs. Very knowledgeable guys, and very cool stuff. Will cut a brother a deal with a bundle. Kenny and Brian have helped me maintain my reef.

  • 1/5 cali f. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a bad experience with this place honestly spent way more money then expected . Said they we're gonna help me but not .Never gonna go back to this place .. Sorry but I really wanted to like this place .Remember customers are always right . I feel you guys got your money and that was it . I highly recommend pet world in San Bernardino they always help and they have a good selection of salt water fish .

  • 4/5 Berna L. 3 years ago on Google
    Good selection across the board from basic to high end coral fish selection is good but goes fast you'll have to stop by often

  • 5/5 Kyle D. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been coming here for 2 years now. The guys who run it are good guys that have great customer service. Clean tanks, great selection of healthy fish and coral. Also, they always have a lot of eels and a big leopard shark which my kids love. Check them out.

  • 5/5 Matthew C. 3 years ago on Google
    As a genuine consumer who is filled with questions as I got into the hobby this place and its people are very helpful they have picked up the phone in a matter of seconds for any question that I may have and always answer with accuracy. When I go I feel like I’m in a candy store because of the beautiful tanks they display and take care of, it feels like I’m talking to a friend who’s concerned when I am and i am grateful to have a place like this local to me.

  • 5/5 Marty S. 3 years ago on Google
    Small LFS, saltwater/reef only, owners are friendly and will get to know you if you come a few times.

  • 5/5 Jesse B. 3 years ago on Google
    Really enjoy the staff here, incredibly knowledgeable. Great price on incredibly healthy coral. Also I am a huge fan of the water they sell; they make their own saltwater an it's incredibly clean.

  • 5/5 Louie Rojas J. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a very good experience on my first visit, small but very well stocked store . Plenty of corals to choose from.

  • 5/5 Victor A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Teresa M. 4 years ago on Google
    Me and my husband have been coming here for a while now. The fish are top quality and we are always satisfied with the service they provide. The tanks are very clean and the fish are handpicked by the owner. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 deshaun b. 4 years ago on Google
    Customer service is the best!!!

  • 4/5 Sabrina D. 4 years ago on Google
    Would give it 5 stars but the last fish we bought was sick it wasnt active at all and sadly died the very next day but not going to give up on this place just yet because the owner has been a great help

  • 4/5 Carlos F. 4 years ago on Google
    I think they do their best sourcing healthy fish and hand select their livestock. Both Ken and Brian are knowledgeable and helpful. I think they supply the highest quality water in the area. I take half a star as they don’t carry a good selection of food (you won’t find reef nutrition, lrs, or piscene energetics). The other half a star as they don’t stock or use any equipment such as the apex, ghl, tunze, clarisea, Red Sea products, etc. lastly, their tanks used to be spotless, but now even their coral tank has tons of algae on the frags themselves. Overall, a good store with huge potential!

  • 5/5 Robert A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great fish store, really enjoy shopping here. Staff is very knowledgeable and ready to help you

  • 5/5 Deborah R. 5 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Robert W. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Shawn F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to go

  • 5/5 Jason n. 4 years ago on Google
    Ken and brian really care about your tank and fish. Ken spent 30+ mins with me just talking about possible issues in my tank. No up sales! They want your fish to live just as bad as you do so listen to their knowledge!

  • 3/5 M B. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff.

  • 5/5 New Age G. 4 years ago on Google
    Customer service is Great. The owner enjoys educating his customers about different tanks and sea life that his store offers to help you make an educated decision. Thanks for your time.

  • 3/5 Steve B. 4 years ago on Google
    Way over priced, very arrogant. Just seemed like they were annoyed when I was asking questions. I personally didn't buy anything nor will I be coming back. I will say the store was very clean and new feeling.

  • 5/5 Cris E. 4 years ago on Google
    5/5 stars! Best fish store in the Inland empire by far! Customer service is excellent and great selection of healthy corals and fish. If you need anything from new equipment or exotic fish don’t hesitate to visit Ocean Aquatics in Redlands. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly with affordable prices. Highly recommend this store to anyone!

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to get whatever you need for saltwater! Coral selection is fantastic and prices are always fair. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Christiana D. 4 years ago on Google
    Brian and Ken’s shop is one of the best shops my boyfriend and I have been to; all the way from San Diego to LA they always give us the best deals and great service 100% recommend to come here.

  • 3/5 Dave R. 5 years ago on Google
    Most coral looked fairly healthy which is a plus. Removed first star because there where a lot of dead and sick fish and a few corals where bleached. An employee was trying to push people to buy a fish with lateral line disease.(I understand not everyone is knowledgeable) second star removed for lack of being professional.. I was looking to add a fish and a few corals to my reef tank and just asked a few questions about if they treat the fish (copper and such) or if they do one week hold on fish like some of the other stores because I dont want to introduce a sick fish to my system.. the person I was talking to could not or would not answer the question and insisted I was starting trouble and that I should leave.. for one I probably will never go there again but for the most part they did have a good amout of healthy looking coral and a pretty good selection.

  • 5/5 Brandon B. 5 years ago on Google
    Very friendly guys with lots of knowledge. They like to hear about your aquarium and give advice when you have concerns. Great place for novices who are shy to ask questions. Highly recommend getting your corals here.

  • 5/5 Matt H. 5 years ago on Google
    I go to these guys for RO water for my freshwater tanks. I'm not at all familiar about saltwater but their RO ALWAYS reads 0 on my TDS reader. All the employees are friendly and even ask about my tanks each week I come in. Great place!

  • 5/5 suzy m. 5 years ago on Google
    Great fish store, high quality and very knowledgeable. My one stop saltwater fish store
