Zack is a sweetheart and you can ask him anything with out feeling like it's a dumb question. I am relatively new to the Saltwater world (about 3 years now), but I have been going to this store for almost 4 years. Sue and Zack have helped me incredibly from verifying that all the "pretty cool fish" (that's what I call em') I pick out will live with and 'play nicely' with the fish already in my 125 gal reef tank, as well as what will live in my 125 gal and what will go in my 13.5 gal tank. I do not understand some of the other rude reviews on this site, BUT I can tell you I have been there so many times over the years (about weekly) and I have interacted with every single employee there more than once, and I have NEVER had a bad interaction. (Then again, I also do not go in there and my do my hair or slap on the tanks.) Don't try that rude stuff in my home, around my tanks!) As for the doggie that I have seen there...I can only assume that shows her character, as to what kind of a person she is. Sue owns a shop, works so many hours (fact is, that almost every single time I have gone in there morning, afternoon and evening she has been there working) sop I assumed she doesn't want to leave her dog alone at home that long. I admire that. But hey, she can do that...it is NOT a food establishment. The dog only barks when someone comes in, which alerts her to my presence and is a friendly dog. I will say this, NO ONE has EVER been rude to me, my husband or my son in the last hundred plus times we have been in there over the last four years. Her tanks are very clean, (buy my RO water there weekly) and have NEVER had an issue. Also, (don't follow my example) I don't even quarantine my new fish from her shop because I know the care she takes of her fish, water and shop. This is a lady that will stay at her shop 24/7 during a hurricane to make sure the power doesn't go out or any other issue happen that could harm the fish, ensuring she can feed and care for them. That's how much she cares and she cares AFTER she sells them to you too! I highly recommend "What's in Your Tank".

I purchased a waterbox all in one aquarium with stand. The company emailed me and said that they…read moremade an error in pricing, but we're willing to give me $100 off the price. I graciously accepted. Then they sent me an invoice that showed a 3% transaction fee and added on $250 in shipping when my purchase and their website clearly says free shipping. (He told me that only is for orders over $2500) I asked them to either honor their price that they sold it to me for or to honor their free shipping. They instead have ignored me and canceled my order. This is definitely a bait and switch. I would not trust this company as they do not appear to have any business integrity.
