Great place to purchase salt water coral and fish. The owner does house calls and will service to r tank for the right price. Very friendly and informative.

This business is outstanding. The owner takes extra special care of your needs. He is marine biologist, he and his wife. Their education is reassuring that you will get what you need, in products and love stock. Also Shawn completes my saltwater tank maintenance, I have had others complete tank maintenance but I can tell you my tank has never looked and thrived like it does presently. Stop and check it out you won't be sorry

We visited for the first time today and Shawn was wicked cool. He has soooo many corals, and his fish look really healthy and happy. He told us he hand picks each fish personally, and he shared with us his background as a marine biologist, which was cool to learn. A lot of fish stores will just focus on selling the fish and not care about quality, but he takes the time to medically treat the livestock. This place is great and we will definitely be coming back! Thanks again Shawn!

Shaun's knowledge for keeping marine life seems second to none in the Greater Tampa area. During the early stages of my return to the hobby I inundated him with questions, all of which he was able to answer with great recommendations. You can find conflicting opinions on the internet sometimes as different people have their own experiences. Shaun's background in setting up and maintaining tanks for clients from regular folk to big companies like the Florida Aquarium and Disney speaks volumes though! Great prices too. Highly recommended.

What an awesome coral shop. Shawn really knows his stuff and has been reefing long before Snoop 😉🤣! Great prices, huge selection, no "brand name" corals - as good as it gets! Highly recommended

I liked this saltwater aquarium store. They had plenty of corals to select from. The employees were nice, friendly, helpful, and welcoming. One of the tanks had some GHA issues and another had GHA and bubble algae (on the wavemaker), but I think we've all naked l dealt with these at some point.I didn't make a purchase today, but really liked the RFA selections. I might need to come back for those!

Walked in and immediately felt welcomed! Great store for all levels of aquarium hobbiest, especially beginner. He pointed us out on things to stay away from and was happy to answer all questions! Reasonable prices - happy to support a family biz. The beer is a plus 😁

Super nice staff and owner, always happy to help out and won’t hesitate to advise you about your water quality if you bring in a sample (it’s like 10 - 15 bucks for the test, a great alternative to ATR on the weekends or for more specialized help on weekdays - you need to call ahead to visit during the week.
