    I thought this store had good reviews so we went here. First fish I got died within 24hrs and the sec one only lasted two days and I checked all levels everything was normal do not buy from them they get sick fish and the ones that don't last go in there big tank . I've had my current fish and invertebrates for months and I haven't had one fish die until I went to this store !!!

    Came in the other day to see what fish I could add to my new 45 gallon reef. Mitch and Gabby were both very helpful with this information. The place was clean and had alot of beautiful coral and fish. I will definitely be returning!

    Clean store and tanks. Great selection and unbeatable quality. Their live rock has accelerated my tanks progress. Next up adding some hammers!

    Staff is somewhat helpful. Coral selection is low quality and sparse. Prices are decent however. Ordering is difficult, as they often do not place the orders, for various reasons. Have had trouble getting items they said could be ordered, and waited several weeks for nothing. Many of the tanks have pests in them, including the live rock.

    Did not feel like the staff was very approachable. Felt like I couldn't open up to them with questions without feeling judged. More of a transaction than a friendly conversation. I can go to Amazon for a transaction. They seemed to have a decent setup and selection though.

    My first visit. Their tanks were very clean and that had a very large selection of quality frags at competitive pricing. Their live rock is priced the same as most of the other LFS in the area however here the rock is much nicer with actual growth of coralline on a lot of it. The gentleman inside was attentive and greeted me with a smile. You can tell their Tanks are well maintained as there's coral growing like weeds

    These guys know what they're doing. Their live stock are well cared for. After dipping the corals I purchased from the store before putting them in the tank, there was not one hitchhiker found in the bucket. This definitely won't be my last visit.

    Tom and his team are amazing! Not only are the extremely knowledgeable and have a fantastic wide selection of fish and corals. There service teams consistently exceed our expectations! We have had the opportunity to work with several service companies over the years but none have come close to the quality, punctuality and general professionalism we have received from the Creative aquariums staff. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for live stock or regular routine maintenance!

    I can not recommend this place enough. I have been to almost every aquarium store in the bay area and creative aquariums make them look like garbage. The selection is huge, the quality is second to none, and the pricing is better than anyone else. This is absolutely the cleanest store you will ever walk in. And they actually care that you are a customer and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can. They are very knowledgeable and will never try to upsell you on anything unless it is something you really need. I will never waste a penny anywhere else.
