    Tank and Stand purchased at CK Fish World Lakewood
    Matthew W.

    Everything is going right under new ownership. Plenty of staff that are happy to help and attentive. Don't shy away from the poor ratings that have carried over from the strictly fish days. Tons of fish, both fresh and salt. All the dry goods you could need in a pinch, and a ton of UNS tanks, filters and stands in stock/on hand.

    Live black worms and micro worms.

    Just went here for the first time today after years of going to Strictly Fish. This place is great! Lots of employees available to help, everyone was friendly and answered my questions. Their live plant selection was great. So many different tanks set up to look at, loved their beta sorority. It's also cool that they sell live black worms, that can be hard to find. I loved Strictly Fish and went as a child but this place is amazing. We will definitely be back to buy some more stuff.

    Incredible plant selection and freshwater fish at CK Fish World

    Amazing Store, excellent staff! Super healthy Fish and very knowledgeable employees. I love this place. They deserve 10 stars.

    These people do not care about the fish here multiple fish either dead or just about to die. Seems they are only interested in making a profit off of these poor creatures. Horrible experience, we tried letting the employees know and they completely disregarded the information.

    My harlequin rasboras I bought 3 months ago.

    The three times I went here with my dad I bought harlequin rasboras, neon tetras, a guppy pod, and Java fern bunches (which I didn't know were multiple plants tied together at the time, but I have the patience). I had good service with all three visits, and I'm so glad that not a single one of my fish or plants have died. I definitely would recommend this fish store if you're looking for good quality livestock.

Age of Aquariums has both freshwater and saltwater (marine) plants, fish, corals, driftwood, and cleaning equipment. The space is large, clean, and you can tell that they take great care of their fish because they look active and not sickly. I came on an afternoon over the weekend and was excited to see so many people asking about how to care for aquatic plants, when to introduce tank mates, etc. When you enter the shop, to your left are tanks, decorative wood, and dry goods like supplements. Loosely speaking, it seems like freshwater specimens (including some hefty bettas, thank you for keeping them in nice big mason jars instead of plastic) are on the left side, while marine/saltwater are center and right. The plants you see when you enter are far healthier than what you'd find at big box stores - I myself picked up some red root floaters and an Anubias variety called white rose. I've been to many a shop growing up that were dim, damp, and generally not as well kept as Age of Aquariums. They really take their time to explain how to design a tank, care for plants, and what to look for in healthy fish. Really fun spot I would like to bring my dad to so he can upgrade his 10 gallon tank!

    Staff have always been helpful during my visits here but I'd like to give a shout out to Micheal…read more Micheal really took the time to help me out today and answer all my hundred questions and address my worries. He was quite knowledgeable and clearly caring of the fish friends. I will definitely be coming back here when my tank is ready for the next phase, and that's certainly thanks to Micheal. I'll try not to take up too much of your time, next time! Thanks again. Highly recommend this place, quite a selection of living beauties to choose from or just gander at.

They are a dependable and trustworthy company that stands behind their work and expectedly has 5 stars rating. Would highly recommend them!

    Oceans Aquarium is perhaps the most professional and high-quality aquarium provider that I've had…read morethe privilege of using. I have used several other companies in the past, but nothing compares to Oceans Aquarium Design. Golan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, kind, helpful, reasonable, efficient, resourceful, and intelligent. His attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction goes above and beyond any that I've ever seen in this industry, perhaps in any industry, for that matter. It is truly top-class level of customer service. We recently purchased a 270-gallon saltwater aquarium for our grandfather, who is essentially bed-ridden. The aquarium was installed in his room so that he can gaze upon it whenever he wants. The amount of joy it has given him is indescribable. That man loves his clown fish and tangs! I truly believe that although my grandfather's quality of life has deteriorated in recent years, Golan has provided him with a degree of pleasure and comfort that no surgery, therapy, or medication could provide. In the extremely rare case that there is a problem with the set up or a mistake is made, Golan responds immediately, and in my experience, he remedies the problem within 24 hours. He has been consistently available to speak on the phone, and has even stopped by the house on short-notice (this is especially kind of him considering he is usually a 30-40 minute drive away). He always listens to our requests and does his best to accommodate whenever feasible. If something cannot be done, he will go out of his way to find the best possible substitution. You can genuinely tell that he takes great pride in his work and loves to share his talent and insight with his clients. On several occasions he even completed expensive work without being paid beforehand. He has confidence in his craft and it is evidenced by his exceptional results. Sometimes we would disagree or be skeptical about a particular design choice or aquatic addition, and Golan would simply respond, "trust me." Every single time, our trust was rewarded several times over. He is truly an artist when it comes to setting up the coral and reefs, as well as choosing a vibrant, healthy, and aesthetically-pleasing school of fish. His technician, Alex, is also very helpful, professional, caring, and genuine. Alex has made several last-minute trips to remedy or address particular needs, free of charge, something which would probably incur an additional charge with other companies. I think it's important to note that Golan's work is not cheap, but one would not (or should not) expect such a professional and consistent level of quality work to be on par with any run-of-the-mill aquarium provider. In spite of this, I've never once felt as if he was taking advantage of us or trying to price-gouge. Golan has always tried to remain within our desired budget, even suggesting cheaper fish over more expensive ones if he believed that they would more adequately satisfy our intentions. Whereas other providers might take the opportunity to suggest the most expensive fish, Golan always tries to meet our needs/satisfaction first, even if that means choosing the less-expensive fish/corals. Thank you so much, Golan and Alex! You two are genuine artists and professionals!

While looking for a replacement part, I found out that this filter was discontinued and replacement parts are scarce to non-existent.  I purchased a Fluval Canister filter but found out that it was not compatible with the existing plumbing.  Facing the propects of having to do a replumb, and not knowing where to start, and what parts I would need, I decided to google search for companies that could perform this service.   I called MK Aquarium and Kevin answered.  He took the time to understand my issue.  What I really appreciated about Kevin is that he decided that I could save money by doing the work myself AND he would be willing to walk me through how to do it.  Candidly, I was shocked and touched by this act of kindness from a business owner. Kevin was on the phone with me, answered all my messages and I was able to get it done.  My tank is up and running with no issues so far. As with any act of kindness, I'm playing it forward.  Anyone that is willing to assist a total stranger is high character in my book and it speaks volumes about the company itself.  If you need aquarium services , I strongly recommend you reach out MK and Kevin because they are going to be honest and fair..Thank you Kevin for the huge assist.
