    150 gallon Planet Aquarium tank and stand purchased at Pure Reef

    I cannot recommend them more highly. Advice is top shelf and the prices are the same or lower than their competitors on equipment...even lower than Amazon for sumps, pumps, etc. There is also no pressure from the numerous staff, who are always available to me for my numerous questions. The showroom is immaculate--you can see the pride that they all take in keeping healthy livestock in spotless tanks. I just purchased a 150 gallon setup from them after months of careful shopping around Atlanta and online--Pure Reef has them all beat.

    Love! Love! This place! It is a reefers dream! The corals are healthy, beautiful, amazing! Large selection. The marine fish are stunning. I've never been inside a store like this. It's a different league, entirely. It's worth making a trip to Atlanta! In my local area there isn't much to choose from. (1 Petco, and 1 PetSmart/ that doesn't carry anything saltwater/marine) This is like comparing costume/plastic jewelry to rare diamonds ... This is where you want your corals/marine fish to come from. (In Georgia) When their health is your primary concern. All fish appear healthy. You don't see dead fish floating around/or, fish coated in ich, over crowded tanks. This place has premium grade coral/fish. Their workers are knowledgeable! They know coral care: softies, lps, sps..., placement, light requirements, flow, compatibility, water parameters... They can help with aquascaping ideas, color patterns, designs for reef tank, etc. It's just... unbelievable! I'm thrilled I found this place! I wanted to take the whole store home! Lol But, I left with Rasta zoas (awesome!) and, a green rainbow BTA. Both, doing great

    180 Reef Tank. By Pure Reef
    Michael M.

    Let me begin by saying I was recommended to visit Pure Reef when I was in the market for a new fish tank. Angela and George the owners were absolutely amazing in making our new aquarium an experience we will never forget. Angela who handles all of the dry sales walked us through everything we would need and placed the order for us on a busy Sunday afternoon. We settled on a 180 with a custom cabinet that they had built for us. We live on the South Side and made the journey to pick up our new tank just a few weeks after we ordered it. There was a little delay with cabinet, but this is to be expected when you order custom furniture. Just be patient with something of this nature. If you not patient than this is not the hobby for you. George personally plumbed the stand and the tank for us. We made sure everything was good to go and they loaded up the trailer for our journey home. Angela even made sure that we made it home in one piece which, goes to show how much they care about their customers. Don't believe the negative reviews. These people are an amazing organization. I have even had to call them for help on some thing and they take the time on the phone to help.

    Several Bubble Tip Anemones to choose from

    Great local fish store for anyone near Alpharetta Milton area. They have a beautiful store with a really nice layout. There are so many corals and fish to choose from and the tanks are stunning. The staff are super helpful and friendly and are probably some of the best you could get. It is very clear that this store knows what they're doing with their saltwater tanks.

    $3 bucks more than online price. Very good~

    One of the cleanest aquarium store in Atlanta. Employees are super eager to help you soon as you walk in with nice greeting. They are all very knowledgeable and helpful. Price is almost same as online but few bucks more expensive. I like to support the local businesses as much as I can so no problem. Owner George and Angela are very reputable in local reef community. Doing fundraising and helping needy and such.

    This hobby is not for the impatient or overly sensitive and maybe this store is similar in that regard, but never in a bad way.

    It hurts my heart to say that although this place looks like it is a great place to leave your love…read moreone. It's not!!! The staff who care for your furry family member should take extremely care of your animal and observe abnormal behavior in your animal from the time they arrive. I boarded my dog here twice. Each time my husband dropped her off. The first time my husband picked her up and when she got home she was coughing, vomiting and had diarrhea. I had to take her to the emergency room. The second time, I went with him to pick her up and when we got her home she had diarrhea and couple days later she started vomiting and her stool look like it had blood in it so again we had to take her to the emergency room only this time she did not make it. My baby passed away. I call the facility and spoke with a staff member to ask about any charge in her behavior and was told that she was extremely scared and was shaking. This is a behavior change. Someone should have contacted me to say that she was not happy there and was scared for her life or shaking. I understand it take money to run a facility. Yet! The first thing the staff members should realize is that these animals are our family and if something is not right with them call the owners and let us know. If only ONE staff member would have called me, I could have gotten her out of there by having transported to the hospital and my little Bella will still be here. Please think twice before you leave your love one at this boarding facility. The staff members need more training and need to know that these animals are not just dogs, they are our family. I'm crying as I am writing this review because all it took was a phone call and my baby will still be here.

    My bf has been taking his dog here for both day care and boarding for several months and the last…read moretime we traveled, we decided to board both his dog and mine at Pet Lodge. I had previously taken my dog to Wagalot, closer to where I live, and they require a "trial" of daycare before you are allowed to board them. Pet Lodge didn't require that which was convenient for me but also made me a bit apprehensive about the dog population. Both dogs stayed here from Thursday evening through Monday midday and it all seemed to go great. Everything we dropped off for them was returned to us and the employees were all very nice. We had them stay in a junior suite which is $45 for the first dog and $35 for the second. My bf booked his dog for additional play sessions but since mine is lazy I decided not to. They seemed well cared for when we picked them up. The only reason for four stars instead of five is because of the lack of technology. They have an online booking system which is convenient, but it's not super user friendly and I ended up still having to email them my dogs vaccination records although I had already uploaded them. Also, there are no cameras here. A lot of boarding/daycare businesses offer that as an option which gives pet owners peace of mind. It would have been nice to have that option but definitely not a deal breaker. We will definitely continue to board and daycare the doggos here in the future.

My wife and I contacted Sushil very late into our wedding planning process, as in weeks before the wedding, and our only regret is that we didn't reach out to him sooner! Sushil's professionalism, attention to detail, and wonderful, easy-going communication style stood out far beyond any other wedding designer we worked with. I can confidently say without him and within our timeframe, we would not have been able to pull together such an incredible vision for not one or two, but THREE unique, gorgeous events. The Sangeet, a fun, festive, colorful design full of floral patterns and gorgeous royal purple. The Ceremony, with a stunning mandap made of entirely fresh florals. Finally, the Reception, full of elegant touches and red flowers, created an absolutely dazzling finale to our wedding. Our first look at the reception was truly incredible, and we loved the surprise entrance Sushil added in (so magical!) All three events were unique, vibrant, and full of love - not only a reflection of our ideas as the bride and groom, but the love and passion Sushil has for his work. If you're wondering which designer to use for your wedding, Utopian Events is definitely worth meeting. Sushil will not lead you astray - he has a true eye for detail, and his ability to bring your vision to life is phenomenal.

Utopian's attention to detail and thirst to be unique and different made for the perfect pairing. Their creativity and quality of work is truly top tier. We got so many compliments on our décor, florals, color scheme, and ambiance along with people wondering how we accomplished that- my answer is Utopian Events! Thank you thank you thank you Angelica & team for making the best night of our lives such a memorable one!

    Alpharetta Tours - HOWLpharetta Ghost Tour.

    A group of 11 Yelpers went on Alpharetta Tours' HOWLpharetta Ghost Tour this past Thursday night…read more(9/5). Thanks to Yelp OTP intern Sarah G. for organizing (http://www.yelp.com/events/alpharetta-uye-alpharetta-food-truck-alley-and-howlpharetta-ghost-tour). We were originally scheduled to do the ghost tour on August 8, but forecasted inclement weather at the time postponed our event. The day of the originally scheduled event, I received a phone call from Alpharetta Tours informing me of the event postponement. I also received an email with a new set of tickets. The process was handled well. Tickets were $12 per person. We got a special group rate. The regular price is $15 per person. We met up with Jen Hunt, owner/operator of Alpharetta Tours, around 8:15pm in front of the Dodd Hotel in historic downtown Alpharetta. This was just around nightfall. The tour lasted about 2 hours and it was a walking tour. Bring comfortable walking shoes! Jen was a really cool tour guide. She's a history buff and you can tell she knows her stuff, especially when it comes to the City of Alpharetta. She has done her research. The HOWLpharetta Ghost Tour can kind of be thought of as two tours in one: (1) a history tour of Alpharetta and (2) a ghost tour. We learned a lot about many of the buildings in downtown Alpharetta -- what they used to be, who used to live/work in them, etc. We learned that Old Roswell St. used to be the main thoroughfare through town. We learned that Native Americans used to be shackled, transported barefoot, and buried in the surrounding area. The HOWLpharetta Ghost Tour is more of walking, educational, and historic tour more than anything else. If you're looking for a scary, haunted house experience, then you'll probably be bored. We spent a good amount of time at each stop. Jen gave us more than enough information on the history and backstory behind many of Alpharetta's historic sites and buildings. We learned about multiple prominent families in Alpharetta's history, such as the Dodds and Webbs. The tour involved a lot of walking and standing. Most of us were tired at the end, both because of the walking/standing and because it was the end of a long (week)day. We stayed within a 2-mile radius of the downtown area. Most of the walking was done on paved surfaces such as sidewalks and asphalt. However, there was one part where we were behind an old cotton mill (IIRC) and were walking in the dark on gravel. Speaking of the dark, a flashlight would prove useful, though it's not necessary. We visited many closed/empty storefronts, businesses, and houses (with permission). We also visited the nearby local cemetary, Resthaven Cemetary. I have never seen nor experienced a ghost or paranormal activity in my life, but I don't rule out the possibility of these entities existing. However, I do tend to be a skeptic. I find the whole "orbs" thing to be funny. Jen explained that if we snapped a photo and saw orbs in our photo, that the orbs represent young spirits unable to fully manifest themselves yet. I personally think these orbs are just specks of dust or other matter flying in the air or perhaps light reflecting strangely through the camera lens. I did get some nice shots of orbs. You can check out the photos I've posted with this review to see them. Jen posted one of them to the Alpharetta Tours' Facebook page and Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/alpharettatours/status/375838874297061376. Jen was also a jokester. She told a lot of corny ghost jokes. I couldn't believe how many she had in her repertoire. Before going on the tour, be sure to read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on Alpharetta Tours' web site. It has a lot of useful and helpful info. There are no restrooms on the tour route, so be sure to go before you start the tour. Also, you may get bitten by a mosquito or two, so you might consider putting on some insect repellent. Finally, be sure to tip your guide at the end, especially if you had fun. We had fun because of our guide and because of the company.

    Jen was amazing from the planning of our private ghost tour until the end of the tour itself. Our…read moreoriginally scheduled tour was postponed due to the chance of severe weather and she was so easy to work with throughout rescheduling and was very accommodating. We emailed back and forth so much that I felt like we were friends! :) First of all, she is adorable -- corny jokes and all -- and I was really impressed with her knowledge of the history of Alpharetta. She's not only been thorough in her research, but I can't believe she's memorized all of that. She's a great storyteller. As far as paranormal activity, I'm a skeptic, but I'm also easily spooked, so I thought this would be a really fun activity. Plus you get a bit of exercise walking around! I definitely saw some stuff, or at least think I did. Moving mirrors inside of buildings, flickering lights, etc. It was just the right amount of spooky. Even if you go and don't see anything, there's still lots of creepy stories to be heard! My only complaint, and this has nothing to do with the tour itself, is that there were still a fair amount of people out/cars driving by/etc. from 8:30-10:30. It might've had to do with the fact that we went on a Thursday after Alpharetta Food Truck Alley, but I would have loved a darker, quieter setting just to enhance the mood. Plan a private tour and get 10+ of your friends together (or plan a UYE like I did!) for a group discount. I'm sure the public tours are great, too, and they're every Friday and Saturday night. Be sure to follow AT on social media. Jen posts discount codes and giveaways! I can't wait to see what else Alpharetta Tours has in store for the community! Jen mentioned trying to put together a pub crawl and I would be allllll over that once it's organized.
