The Rose Garden at Golden Gate Park is an inspiration to have some roses planted somewhere in or outside the house. Then going to the California Academy of Sciences Aquarium you wish you could have some fish as a pet and not for sushi. There are few places in San Francisco where inside of the store feels like you entered a garden and aquarium.In the crowded streets of Clement between Cafe Bunn Mi and the Bitter End bar there is a place which feels like you stepped inside nature in the great outdoors and also by the water. This place is the place to create your own flower conservatory and your aquarium at home and it's called the 6th Avenue Aquarium. On a Spring stroll on Clement street walking past the soon to be opened Rose Pizzeria and past the recently gluten free pasta restaurant Clementia I landed at 6th Avenue Aquarium between 6th and 7th Avenue. Inside it feels like a place you can create your garden, sanctuary and spa. You will see plants outside and inside. You will also see lots of flowers of all kinds. The aquarium has lots of tanks with fish inside. You will also see cherry shrimps and crabs. You also will see amphibians like the ones you see all over in SF. This a good place to start that garden and aquarium. Go on a Spring stroll on Clement street to the 6th Ave Aquarium inside is a pleasant "surprise "see fish of all types and "size" in the tank you will see the fish float their tails and see the fishes "eyes" and they sell the fishes as pets along with fish "supplies" Without nature I "can't " live without having more than one "plant" because it gives life a positive vibe which does "enchant" like a painting with tulips by "Rembrandt"

I got my money back at first, but these greedy fucks actually fought the chargeback and got my bank to take the money back. They literally stole my money after selling me dying fish. 6th Avenue Aquarium is a complete scam. They don't give a single fuck about the fish or their customers. Save your money and stay the hell away from this dumpster fire of a store.

Outstanding customer service!…read more I've purchased aquarium equipment from many stores over the years, and Aqua Forest Aquarium has been one of the best experiences I've ever had. Steven took the time to call me personally, answer my questions, and make sure my order was the best fit for my setup. Throughout the entire process, he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. Everything arrived safely, was packaged extremely well, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. They resolved a situation in a way that far exceeded my expectations, and I'll never forget their kindness. I've recommended Aqua Forest Aquarium to many fellow hobbyists, and every one of them has shared positive experiences as well. It's rare to find a company that genuinely puts customers first. Thank you, Steven and the entire AFA team. You've earned a lifelong customer, and I highly recommend Aqua Forest Aquarium to anyone passionate about planted aquariums.

Unlike other shops where you might worry about bringing home pests or disease, everything here is top-tier. Also, special thanks to Max for the great service.

Our aquariums are clear and clean and he was even able to remove some of the existing surface scratches in the plexiglass! A bonus I hadn't anticipated. Dean created the optimal breeding environment in our tanks. Our angel fish are happily laying eggs (although they are still learning how to protect them) and our live bearers are steadily reproducing. My mom spends several hours a day enjoying the action in her aquariums; watching her tetras dart in and out of the lush plant life and her plecos play hide and seek in the drift wood. Her aquariums have never looked better and she has never spent so much time enjoying the view of the underwater sanctuary Dean helped us create. Thanks Dean! You rock!

Scheduled Phil via text message (super convenient) to clean the tank. I was worried about hygiene but Phil wore a mask, set out a tarp, had cleaned out his buckets well, and wears booties over his shoes upon request. He cleaned our tank thoroughly. He protected the fish while they were out of the tank. He unplugged and re-plugged everything, cleaned off the ornaments, squeezed out the sponge, fixed the air pump. He also graciously answered a million questions and recommended products that were as or more effective that happened to cost us less as well. If you just need lessons on running your tanks, I'd call him for training. Friendly and professional. Highly recommend. He was referred to us by Tony from PureAqua so clearly professionals recommend him as well.

The person working there was very nice and I think they care about animals... but they still buy some animals from breeders/breeding mills to resell them... It's really sad that some pet stores still do this, while so many rescued animals need homes. I hope The Animal Connection with do the right thing by transition to rescue-only and partner with local rescues to help get animals adopted who needs homes, and stop buying/selling any animals from breeders/breeding mills. Please do the right thing! Myself and soooo many other animal guardians really want to support businesses like yours, but not animal exploitation.

STOP, DON'T waste time looking for other aquarium services. You found the BEST one, I promise…read more Since this review will be long, thought I would emphasize on the point of my review from the beginning... instead of making you read through everything. Many businesses will help you buy a new tank... but have you ever tried to get rid of one? Not just any old fish tank but a giant one, where you could probably teach your kid to swim in it... We are talking about 400-gallon fish tank that was built way too DIY, extremely heavy, filled with livestock, ton of sand and rocks. If you are not into fish, this is easily 4,000 lbs... with many surprise attacks from the DIY "Offense Team". You really want someone who knows what they are doing... unless you want a mini flood of saltwater in your living room.. I contacted MANY businesses including junk removal but wasn't satisfied due to poor communications, lack of planning/professionalism. Thankfully, I read about Ocean Treasures Servicing on social media and did my research/stalking via FB, IG, and... reef forums and found only great things. The owner himself, Daniel, came down all the way from SF for a in person consultation then emailed me a meticulous thought-out plan on step by step of removing the giant tank. The Game Day - Daniel came with 3 team members + 1 cargo van + 1 U-Haul (this thing was huge..) Everyone from the team treated the house like their own, laid out floor protectant all over, swept every bit of sand before attempting to move any heavy items (a little sand that gets dragged can make quiet an impression on your floor), safely caught all the living creatures (all alive :D), and finished the job as if they literally CTRL+X the whole thing out of the house. Ocean Treasures Servicing is simply AMAZING. You would think after all the trouble of getting rid of a tank, I would be done... but NOPE! Since I found the best team I can trust, I am in the process of building a replacement one that is professional made by Daniel and his team...... No more DIY, unleveled, loud sounds, and random cuts from DIY stuff.... Don't Do it yourself, it's not worth it.. Trust Daniel and Ocean Treasures Servicing and just enjoy the hobby.
