Large store with all kinds of freshwater and saltwater supplies. Great deals on new setups & kits. Knowledgeable staff who are helpful and friendly. And the coral! Beautiful displays & options to buy. If you like fish or are thinking of getting a tank, this is the place to go.

I have to say this place is amazing. This is based on not just one experience, but many over the years and all. Where do I start… the staff! Always willing to help and VERY knowledgeable, and if they don’t know something they will still try to seek out an answer. They actually make me feel welcome. I’m speaking mostly for the aquatic side as I do not own any reptiles. I have had many different freshwater aquariums along with 6 months into my first saltwater. The cleanliness of their store and tanks are great! You can see they actually care about the well being of their animals. Every fish and coral that I have bought from them have been extremely healthy. They are also good at knowing what products to recommend to me for what I need. They are a little on the high side of pricing, but still very worth paying for the quality and quantity of experience they provide. If you are just starting out, or have years of experience under your belt, or even just going to admire pretty fish, this is the place to go. I drive over an hour out of my way, even over my own Local fish stores, just to go to this one. If I could I would give this store a 10/5. I used to be a manager at Petsmart and This is the store I would recommend for people to go to. I can’t say thank you enough to all the guys that have went out of their way to help me. I’m not one to do reviews, but I just wanted to give you guys an extra shout out for all you do. Below are just a few pictures of my livestock. I recently bought a bi color blenny and flame angel and they have been thriving and healthy.

Bought a Tank on sale, very helpful staff. The owner was very patient and the selection of fish and materials/filters/filter media was phenomenal. One of if not THE go to spot for aquarium and reptiles enthusiasts!!

Questions & Answers

My husband has an advanced marine system he is relocating to Nashville. It's a new setup but we will need live aragonite sand, (CaribSea, etc.) cured live top rock and testing supplies. Does this store have a knowledgeable saltwater staff?

I have only dealt with their freshwater side, but everyone I talked to has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. These people are hobbiest and don't just work there.

Do you guys do check up on reptiles?

I think they do rescues, but it's a pet shop not a vet. Not all of their reptiles look that great and that's why I believe they may be rehabbed.
