a place I've been meaning to tour for years. Worth every inch of the trip from the far North and no problem finding parking. Excellent selection for every level of hobbyist and very competitive pricing, especially for the location. Two fins up. Tanks guys!

I had a great experience shopping for corals here. Connor gave me the grand tour of their facility and coral farm and I was very impressed. Beautiful corals, very healthy looking and a nice selection to choose from. Victor safely packaged my corals as I had an hour drive to travel back home. Very helpful and kind people here, providing great customer service. They quarantine their fish before selling them which is a fantastic plus. Prices are very reasonable in my opinion. I recommend Tank It Easy for your aquarium design and set up, ongoing maintenance needs and livestock purchases. Looking at the display tanks in the store, some being very unique, these guys definitely know what they're doing.

I'm just getting into the hobby and I started with freshwater. Everything on their website screams salt but I decided to check them out anyway. As I should have anticipated, their freshwater offerings were definitely second fiddle to the beautiful salt tanks they have set up. That being said, every tank was well dressed and all of the fish well taken care of. The team member that helped us was extremely friendly and very upfront that his area of expertise was with saltwater setups. I didn't get his name but major kudos to his professionalism.I walked out with two very happy fish (in very happy water) that acclimated to my tank immediately—so well that I'm going back ASAP to get a couple more of their buddies.I know that walk-ins are not this place's major focus and that makes the attention that I was given all the more impactful. I'd love to get into saltwater one day and when I do, these folks will be at the top of my list.

I’m new to the salt water tank hobby and the guys at Tank It Easy have been such a great help on getting me everything I need. Every time I’ve been in the store, they’ve been willing to take the time to explain all the necessities and tips and tricks to quick success. I’m starting my first reef tank and they have a great collection of any type of coral you could want. Shout out to Brian and Reed who were a big help! I’ll definitely be back!

These guys actually quarantine fish before they sell them to you. This means the probability of getting a parasite or a non-eater is tremendously lowered. They also know what they're doing at this store. Great place highly recommend and prices are as low as buying online with huge risk.

This place is AWESOME!!! The customer service that I received from both Kyle and Connor was exceptional! I will not be going anywhere else for my saltwater needs. They are very knowledgeable and are not just trying to make a quick buck off of you. They took their time and answered every question I had. That means a lot to me as my husband and I have only been in the hobby for a little over a year now. Their selection of fish and coral are out of this world! Very reasonably priced. Their coral though ~ STUNNING! I can’t wait to be able to say my 2nd tank is a Tank It Easy tank! Thank you guys so very much! I am so happy to have finally found my LPS that appreciates me as much as I appreciate them!

Everyone at tank it easy is incredibly helpful. I have purchased fish, coral and invertebrates, and they are always healthy. And their recommendations are always spot on. I also ran into a situation where my tank cracked, and I had nowhere to put my fish. They immediately offered to take the fish, and help out when I am set back up. Truly can't thank them enough.

Kyle was amazing! We appreciated all of his assistance in setting up the chiller for our axolotl tank. We visited their store and purchased a chiller last year and when we needed help this year, they walked us throughthe process.

VERY clean and well laid out store. Some livestock prices were a little on the high side while others were cheaper than other places in the area, so I can't complain about that. I wouldn't buy my RO/DI water here, as they're twice as much as everywhere else I get water from, but I don't come here strictly for water and won't know them for that. Service is fantastic; everyone I've met here is very personable and knows what they're talking about, which is very helpful to someone who is new (I'm not). Highly recommended.

Can’t begin to tell you how incredible Tank it Easy is. We have a 350 reef tank that’s almost 10 months old. Brand new tank which is new to the US. And we probably got in over our heads. Put in an Apex System with Trident and really had no idea what we were doing. Needless to say we did it wrong. Thankfully Tank it Easy came to our rescue. We first met with Kyle. Who within a week of contacting was at our location. Kyle not only fixed things with Apex but was also able to instruct us on some coral placement so they could be happier and healthier. And it didn’t stop at that. The knowledge that we are continually given is absolutely incredible. Being somewhat new to the hobby we couldn’t be more thrilled with everything tank it easy has offered. The knowledge being one of the most important things. Can’t begin to explain everything we have learned. Kyle and Tom have been wonderful. Can’t thank them enough. Will always recommend to anyone.

They have a surprisingly large selection of fish! Their specialty is coral and their prices are very reasonable compared to other places. For such a tiny shop I left very impressed. They also sell fish tanks, tank cleaners and everything you need to keep your aquarium operating smoothly

The staff, fish and products here are all top notch. I have only been in the saltwater aquarium / reef hobby for about 9 months but I don't think I would be where I am in the hobby without the expertise of the staff here. I have had good luck with the fish/coral and other sea creatures purchased here. Highly recommend.

Kyle quickly responded to my question regarding Orphek OR3s LED bars on a reef group, he provided a lot or useful information regarding the product and other important lighting information as well. Before I knew it my new lights were at my door and my corals look more amazing than ever. Thank you Kyle ! You've definitely earned my business. From now on I'm gonna Tank it easy and shop with you !

Easily and hands down the best specialty aquarium store with awesome selection of salt water and fresh water fish. We picked up a beautiful Honey gourami and zebra Tetras. The fish are well maintained with lots of space for them. They recently moved and added more capacity.

I've been coming here as my preferred shop from the city for six months and dealt with half a dozen different staff members. Every single one knows what they are talking about, the level of knowledge and experience is unmatched.

What an amazing place... been in twice now and everyone is really helpful, always there to help you through the process. We’re putting together a nano reef tank and Brian really took the time to make sure we knew what to do and had everything we needed. Our née clowns and corals are doing great!

Beautiful store and very attractive tanks and store design. Not a large selection would be the only drawback but the service and personnel were great and coral prices are very competitive. Had a great overall experience!!

This place is beautiful, even of to just walk around and look at the fish. Their freshwater fish supply is limited but they have so many different salt water varieties of coral, fish, crab, and other creatures. Can't wait to go back!

The livestock here is stunning, store is clean and modern, staff is very friendly and engaging... But the prices are crazy low. It's like online prices but without the shipping costs.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. They definitely don't need to upsell you because you'll return on your own. Some of the best prices and stock in the city!
