Aquarium King is becoming my go to shop for the hobby. I have picked up some really nice coral from them and just today I found out they quarantine their fish too. Excellent shop!

Great shop. Sean, Brenda and Dave are honest and fair. Great corals and fish. I cant recommend them highly enough. Also a good place for water. They build tanks and do service. They did a great job on my once yearly water change, so much easier than buckets or mixing.

I have been to The Aquarium King several times, Sean and his Associate are always very helpful to obtain fish and inverts. They got in the scarlet reef hermit crabs that no other salt water aquarium store in the area carried.Great selection and prices, I highly recommend them!

After being out of the salt game for a few years, I just started putting together a Evo 13.5.I’ve checked out 5 other shops in the area looking for some unique and colorful LIVE rock and I found exactly what I was looking for and at a great price here! Also this shop has the biggest selection of fish that I’ve seen. I’ll definitely be back once the new tank is cycled!

Aquarium King is my go to place for Corals. They have a huge and wonderful selection and knowledgable staff to help you choose the best additions to your tank. I have purchased over half the corals in my tank from them and will continue to use them.They also off top notch moving and maintenance services if you are in need. They moved my 250 gallon reef tank with care.

They don’t want to sell. I wanted to buy a fish for my tank and I needed the advice. I also bought a fresh water plant and he just put it in bag, didn’t put water and didn’t close it. In Pet Supermarket or Petco they always put everything in bag with water and close it tight. So I have to put in my tank ASAP now or it will be dead. But I need to clean it and get prepared for new plant. I disappointed! Don’t recommend to go there. :(

Incredible selection of saltwater exotic fish crabs and even a baby octopus. Huge indoor pond with over 40 big koi fish. Fascinating experience. Worth the time to visit. Rare and pricey fish but many reasonably priced.Friendly personnel who love the creatures.

Ive been visiting this store every single week since long time ago to buy my salt water, not too often buying corals because they dont have many options on the prices.. everything is expensive. also prices are not shows anywhere, you always have to ask. I went today cause they have 20%off to buy a coral that I wanted from couple weeks ago. They told me it was $35 last week, I remember very well. im not stupid, now today the same person told me its $50, plus 20%off, the owner I believe. So did he increased the price randomly or just for this Weekend ?Today was mas last day on this place, since this guy did that to me,well, maybe he has not memorythere was a tattooed guy before that used to do that as wall so nothing has changed.I wish they all the best.. remember guys there is plenty of places with variety of fish and corals.. is not only a good cleaning and service but sincerity and respect.

Very clean shop , nice people. Lots of SPS , Small to large colonies. They used to have great freshwater plants but have moved away from all freshwater , prices could be a lottle lower ( just my opinion) but very healthy corals and fish. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Love this place. Im here almost 4 times a week relentlessly asking questions about my tank. Im currently setting up yet another tank and am slowly but surely collecting all my hardware from them. They price match all there items and you wont find a better deal any where. They are super friendly and knowledgeable and more than happy to honestly answer any of my questions. They stock only the best quality equipment and livestock. I know this because Im in there every day asking the same stupid questions over and over and over again. Im shure other fish stores would have chased me out of there stores with sticks and sharp objects by now. Take it from me, Ive been everywhere, these guys are the best...

Wow what an excellent set up. Well maintained tanks, clean and pleasant to view. Owner has a large varieties of critters, corals, plants, and others for you to pick from. There’s a huge koi tank just as you walk in filled with busy body koi’s. There’s like a hundred in there all begging you to feed them. Yes you can feed them, but you have to buy the feed. Easily waste a quick half hour their just looking at everything.

My husband and i went to visit this store over the weekend since they were having a sale on all their fish and i have to say, this is the most beautiful store i have ever set foot on. Wow, so clean and staff very knowledgable and outgoing. Finally purchased the purple tang ive been looking for everywhere. So happy i found this store. They have a quarantine system in the back they were kind enough to walk me though. Finally a store that seems to care no only about making money but about the fish they are selling. Great job!

Review №43

Very helpful and very informative when it came to teaching me about our new plant set-up. I wanted to buy some freshwater fish but the lady there was honest enough to tell me they did not feel comfortable selling them to me since they had an ich problem last week and they were taking care of the problem.Easy to say, the fish looked nice and healthy to me though, but i was still appreciative. We need more honest stores like this one, where theyre looking to get return customers and not just make a quick buck off of you. They also have a great variety of saltwater coral and fish i must say. Great store.

This store rocks, I needed a part for my rodi unit and I couldnt wait for a slow online store and no place has stuff like this except this place. Saved my butt and hella awesome, I was that dumb guy who comes in right before close and they were super polite and helpful. Definitely the hobbyists place to go!

Nice place for fresh and saltwater aquarium needs, accessories, food, fish, corals and crustaceans. Needs at least one more person on premises to help the only two reps, lots of items mixed in between salt and fresh makes kind of guessing where’s everything. Price wise is average with others except for the acros colonies (wayyy to expensive). Overall good experience and lady at the register always willing to help and find you anything you missed.

Stopped by since it’s been a while since I checked out this store and I had heard bad things from other friends in the hobby but I couldn’t believe it since this store was so nice when I checked it out about a year ago.Boy am I disappointed. They upgraded the place which is nice but all the freshwater tanks have Ich or something else going on. One tank in particular is awful, all the fish are barely alive and their fins are down to little nubs so they can barely swim also they are covered in so many of the white spots that ich produces that I refuse to believe they are actually treating this tank at all. I brought up this issue to a gentleman who I believe is the owner and he was a bit dismissive about the issue. It’s no secret that ever since they started incorporating freshwater fish they have had one issue or another but ich has always been present in this store so clearly something isn’t being done properly.Another issue I saw when I was there was the bettas which are in tiny triangular tanks (about a gallon). It’s great that they’re in something bigger than a cup, I will not knock that but they could be more content in a community tank etc. They don’t have clean water and their water is not heated either. I hate to say this but I’ve seen chain pet stores with cleaner water for their bettas than this store. I asked about the water change regime for the bettas and they said they change the water about once a week. With how dirty these tanks look and how some were sick (one had an extreme case of dropsy) I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed it every two weeks or so.Fish don’t deserve to be kept in poor conditions because they are “just fish”, they are pets who should be in a clean and healthy environment not a dirty one filled with deadly illnesses and improper care.
