    Friend of mine introduced me to the hobby and took me to Ellis Aquatics, Jayson is very knowledgeable and has answered all my questions ( i tend to have one after another) and has had the patience to answer them all! Ive bought just about everything in his store since its reliable, and priced right! I keep going back just about every week for something new to keep adding to my set up! Definitely recommend this place to everyone!! Keep up the great work!

    A little hole in the wall fish store but really nice inside, i wasn't expecting to see so many coral and fish. It blew my mind. I bought 2 tangs for the price of one. Highly recommend, It was worth the drive from Lancaster.

    Best place to shop live salt water fishes with very enriched stocks and fairly cheapest prices I have ever seen in a LFS. We drove 6.5h from San Francisco to LA to visit and pick up our orders. Their stocks have very high turn over rate, so better call the owners to place an order and reserve the items you are interested in :)

    I found this store kind of by accident while online looking for a new aquarium stand. It was listed as a local distributor for the particular brand of stand so I gave the store a call and spoke to Jayson. Initially I got a very good vibe when speaking to him as he was very polite, professional, informative and willing to converse also he seemed to have a passion for what he does along with experience that only adds to the helpfulness and information he conveys to customers. Some time later after our initial conversations/texts, I was in the position to go ahead and order the stand and canopy which would be built and then shipped from Texas via freight to the store. Jayson was once again very helpful and communicative in the process of the order, shipping, and final receipt/customer pickup of the stand/canopy. He reached out to me with updates, what the status of my order was, what information he obtained from the manufacturer of the stand/canopy all the way through to the end. When the product finally came in after about 6 weeks he was quick to inform me and even gave me assistance to load it into my truck. Along with all that, I feel Jayson operates his business with integrity and good values. In my whole experience ordering this stand and canopy some things had changed due to the pandemic and the cost of some things but Jayson immediately offered to assist in that situation, citing that he had made a statement and he would honor what he said even at his cost. That conveys to me an honest man with integrity. I can appreciate that. I live about 85 or 90 miles from this store, and for a fish or two that may be a stretch but I can say I would certainly do business with this store again on another major purchase perhaps an aquarium or other larger purchase. I spent about $1500 on this stand and canopy and have no regrets that my money went to this store, the experience was excellent I would definitely bring my business to Jayson and his store again in the future. Thanks again Jayson, can’t wait to get my tank up and running soon!

    Great place for great frags and equipment without great big prices. The owner prides himself on giving a good price and not gouging the customer. He's honesty and one place I've unreservedly recommend to the reefing community.

👍👍 I've been coming here for 4 months and the place is always clean and they have such a variety. They have full meals (meat, fish, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free options) and they have solo item options. In case you need one serving of fish, green beans, fruit etc. They also have a lot of drink option...
