Always like going here and seeing what corals and fish they have in. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff for marine and freshwater tanks. Great selection of coral and fish, prices are a bit high on coral but that's to be expected in an LFS.

This place sits in a kind of unique spot based on the shops that I have been to. I drove down from Syracuse to check out the reef shops in Rochester. Safe to say that they blow away what's is available in Syracuse. This shop seems to have a lot of really large pieces and some very high end stuff. My honest initial impression was "wow this is expensive". I then spoke to who I believe was the owner and he showed me quite a few corals in my price range that did not have their price listed (for the most part). I haven't really been to a reef shop yet that has a good system off displaying all the prices of their coral because it's so difficult to do and they're constantly getting new stuff. I think they would definitely benefit from writing more prices of some of their cheaper offerings over mainly writing the more expensive pieces price. That was atleast my perception. I am new to the hobby and only am a couple months in so I personally am not comfortable throwing a thousand dollars worth of coral in yet. This shop would be absolutely perfect as a supplier for a large business show tank or something. Their tanks were immaculate and the corals looked extremely healthy. It has a very high class feel inside. The very high class feel mixed with them seemingly choosing to mainly price out their higher end large pieces makes the first impression like " I don't know if I belong here" but once you get talking to the staff they find something for you no matter the budget or experience. I picked up two frags for a fair price that look great. I brought a frag to trade for store credit and had no idea what it was worth. The owner gave me more than I was asking because I was clueless of it's value which I really appreciate. When the tank is more established I will be going back here for a showpiece coral for sure.
