They said yes so I made the trip from NC to make some purchases on Sunday and get to the front door and there is a sign saying they were closed.. pretty messed up that they couldn't have told me this on Friday when I called..After that I left them a review like this one on google just letting everyone know what kinda place this was and someone decided to send me a nice text message from the company on Sunday!! Thanks for nothing!!!

I never leave reviews but this store is worth it. I wish I could rate this store higher than five…read morestars. Let's start with the store itself; it's clean, organized, and lovely to just walk around and admire. You can tell that Adam has so much passion and love for what he does. He's also extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to saltwater fish, setups, installation, and anything else, he's your guys. I went in with my husband because our corals and fish were dying and we were on the verge of giving up the hobby entirely. Adam and Greg assisted us in resolving the problem, and we left feeling confident and hopeful, which is something we haven't felt in a long time because all the other stores just push you to buy random items instead of actually giving you proper advice. Adam gave us great advice and suggestions without making like we needed to buy anything from him, wasn't pushy at all, didn't make us feel embarrassed, ashamed or stupid because of our mistakes (which other stores would do). He put us at ease and encouraged us to continue our saltwater aquarium adventure. Those two men deserve all the kind words, but I'll keep it brief. This is my new and permanent favorite aquatic store in the DMV area.

The staff is knowledgeable, professional and experienced. They are genuine and responsible when matching fish to the right tank/owner. When in doubt, ask Sexy Jae for advices! Beautiful variety on corals and the fish. They all went through solid quarantine process. Never has issue with the quality. En Bref, worth a trip!

Took my live rock there and broke it into pieces with my hammer and chisel and glued it right there. There are coral here that sell for $17 each and are a pretty nice size. All the workers here are avid aquarists and incredibly knowledgeable! Especially Jae. He's always been an incredible resource for aquascaping tips and advanced aquarium knowledge. Will continue coming here for years to come!

He means a lot to me because he was given to me as a gift. I know nothing about cleaning turtle tanks and, frankly, I don't want to know anything about that. I just assume have someone that knows what they are doing come by once per month and service the tank. This way Squirt stays happy and so do I. I found Wet Pets online and I have been very impressed with their service. They do a very thorough job, get in and out fast and stay on me about maintaining the tank properly. They are very friendly and easy to schedule with. The technicians that have stopped by seem very knowledgeable and pleasant.

I came into this location with nothing particular in mind, but went right to the cat section. It was about time to get my cat a new collar. I try to get a new collar for each season/holiday for her. The collar section was a bit lacking here, and in need to stocking. I almost gave up on finding a new collar until I was heading to pay and noticed an aisle display and found a collar. I still browsed the rest of what they had to offer in the cat section. Picking up one or two things for my cat. I need to stop going into each one I see. I always end up coming out with more items than intended.

I will never go here again! The last time Maricarmen did an excellent job. She listened to what I…read morewanted. Maricarmen supposingly wasn't available. I took my Mini Goldendoodle puppy who is bad for basically a touchup cut she had no matts. She gets combed & brushed daily. I specifically told the Groomer, I do not want my dog cut short, I want her face rounded and tail ends trimmed. He recommended a length which was fine because it wasn't short at all. I was told it would be 4 hours. 4 hours is a long time. I got there to pick her up in 4 hours. He hadn't even started cutting her and he told me he needed another 45 minutes which turned into an hour. I wish I had taken my glasses with me so that I could have seen how uneven she was cut. I was already not happy that he cut her short. I paid & tipped (only as a courtesy) for the worst cut my dog has ever had. All her wavy hair was cut off. It's Winter. He gave her a Summer cut. To make it even worst she's cut uneven and has a gash on the back of her left leg. How do you cut a dog so short and get it uneven behooves me. Her face and head are lopsided. One ear is cut at an angle while the other is cut straight across. The fur on one is longer than the other. Tail tip fur cut off the rest untouched. What I took to Petsmart was a cute teddy bear looking dog with wavy hair. What I got back......was a cute dog with barely any fur and a really bad uneven hair cut. The rush job he did sucks. Hell he needs to pay me because I have to go behind him to try to fix the mess. Needless to say, Petsmart is #2 on my oh hell no grooming. Petsmart dog cuts are getting just as bad as Petco. They both now give half ass rushed cuts with very little attention to detail. Petsmart stop overbooking your Groomers so they can at least do a better job and stop raising your prices because customers aren't getting what they're paying for.

It's very warm/hot...due to moisture, lights, heaters. Not the worst fish store experience I've had, but I had to deep breathes to stay calm while moving about. Super packed with "stuff", so you'll prob find what you're looking for. Seemed somewhat on pricey side for tank decor, but fish seemed more normally priced. Haven't bought from them yet. Didn't find fish I was looking for. Not totally opposed to returning, but not thrilled to return either. So...just a 3 "meh" for me.
