WOW! This store made me wish I had the time and energy to start a full saltwater aquarium. Our family came by as part of redoing a small (30 gallon) freshwater tank and acquired both fish and plants. The staff and owners were friendly, incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and even took in a pile of fancytail guppies we surrendered for rehoming. They had a great selection of freshwater flora and fauna (despite challenges with global shipping happening right now), but what really caught our eye was the dedication and array of saltwater aquarium items. It was clear this is a passion of the store, and one of the best we've ever seen. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

Great store. Owner is nice and knowledgeable. All employees check in with you and their prices on things are good for what they are. Really good coral selection for around 65$.

I knew nothing of aquarium life especially SALT water fish. After about 8 months I can say now that I know a little bit. I have managed 2 clownfish somehow keeping the original one alive. The staff here is plenty. Everyone is pleasant. I wish I could spend the day gazing! Everything you could need for tank creation and care or if you have questions to be answered, is here.

I love this place so much!! Friendly staff that takes excellent care of their fish and corals. They are well educated and know what they’re doing! Always advise you for what’s best to the fish and Corals and never try to oversell. I recently bought this tank with live rock, live sand and some fish and I’m so love with it!! Will be back to buy corals once my tank is ready. I highly recommend this place if it’s your first time or an advanced reefer as they got you covered with everything you need.

Is a sponge filter enough to keep the water crystal clear in my fish tank

Isaac Garcia | Aug 29, 2018
Steven Oliver | Aug 29, 2018

Size of tank? What type of fish? Sponge filter is two types of filtering. Particulate and biological. If you don't overpopulate and don't keep"dirty" fish, you can achieve clear water with a sponge filter. You still need to perform regular water changes for your fish's health.
