Gio Marine is easily one of the best local fish stores I've been to. The moment you walk in, you…read morecan tell the tanks are well cared for and the livestock is healthy, vibrant, and properly maintained. That alone already sets them apart from a lot of other places. What really makes the difference is the level of knowledge and the way they approach helping customers. Instead of just trying to make a quick sale, they actually take the time to understand your setup and what you're trying to achieve. The advice feels genuine and experience-based, which is huge in a hobby where the wrong guidance can cost you time and money. Their selection of corals and fish is solid, and everything consistently looks like it's been handled with care. On top of that, their prices are very competitive--honestly better than most other places I've come across--which makes it even easier to keep coming back. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and that shows in both the quality of the store and the overall experience. Whether you're new to reefing or have an established tank, this is a place you can rely on for both livestock and guidance. Definitely a strong option if you're looking for a dependable and knowledgeable shop.

The hay shelves were also quite empty. They only had the 40oz bag of the hay blend I needed for my bunnies (in opposed to 90oz I prefer), but better than not having it at all. I didn't run into any problems while making my purchase. Service was standard and sufficient at the front counter.

Update 3/12/2026: I…read morerecently bought a house in San Jose that came with a pond. Unfortunately the previous owner had passed away and left no instructions, so I had absolutely no idea where to start. I've never had a pond before and knew nothing about how to maintain one. I remember having a great experience with Aqua lab back in 2016 so I called them back up and Kent was incredibly helpful from the start. He took the time to walk me through everything and explain how the system works without ever making me feel dumb for asking very basic questions. We decided to do a one-time deep cleaning to restore the pond. Before the scheduled cleaning, Kent stopped by to check out the system and figure out what actually needed to be done. He ended up fixing a broken part, doing a full deep clean of the pond and the filter/skimmer, and adding beneficial water additives. Since I live about 3 hours away, he kept me updated throughout the process with photos and messages, which I really appreciated. He even left me some pond tools to use and offered to come back another time, at no extra charge, when I'm at the house so he can walk me through the system in person and show me how to do the regular monthly maintenance myself (or help with that if I decide I'd rather have him handle it). His pricing was very fair and actually came in lower than other local shops I contacted. Overall just a really great experience. I've attached before and after photos of the pond. Highly recommend Aqua Lab and working with Kent. What a great guy!

Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend her! :)

I have been a regular to this store in the past couple years, not only purchasing something, but my…read moredogs also stayed in the PetHotel couple times a year. I used to book the exit bath on the hotel checkout day to make sure that they were clean to go home, then switched to a dedicated grooming service after they discontinued the exit bath. However, in last year, they did not trim my dog's nails and did not clean her ear either for one stay. When I found the issues at home and called them, I was told that they could hot handle my dog, so just totally skipped these two steps that I paid for. Though I was not satisfied, I thought this was an one-time accident and not reallyworth bothering with, but I then avoided booking grooming services with them for the subsequent hotel stays. Now I just checked out today for another stay which I tried again with their grooming service since last year's incident, to give them another chance, and purposely double checked her ears - all were full of wax in her outer canal! And even in some part of outer ear. When I returned to the salon and they cleaned it again, though I told him that this is the second time that they did not do the service, he said that they don't clean ear canal. However, the wax is still on her ear hair, and I can even easily wipe out more with just a tissue - after he cleaned them **again**. If this is the standard of cleanliness of West Dublin PetSmart, their bar is too low to earn customers' business. East Dublin PetSmart has been my regular grooming service provider since the first incident in last year and they don't have this issue at all. It's so funny that a box store does not have a consistent standard across all their stores. The corporate HQ should review the store's performance seriously.

He told me that I could sign up for the plan to get discounts and cancel it later anytime if I did not like it. A couple of months later I found I didn't really need the plan because I could buy many things from Amazon with cheaper prices, so I decided to cancel it to avoid the monthly charge $10.96. Then, I realized that I had signed up for a membership plan with an annual commitment, which was never mentioned by the guy who helped me. I suddently felt that I was tricked. How many people would actually read all pages of the contract? Fine, I could cancel it after one year. I wanted to make sure my membership won't be renewed after one year. Guess what! There was an option of turning off the Auto-Renew Plan function on Petco website and Petco App on my phone, but I was not able to switch it off (it's a fake switch). I was shocked and thought about whether the company made this on purpose. I wanted to visit the local store where I signed up for the membership, but I was too busy to go there and forgot about it. During the Christmas break, my daughter wanted to buy a light bult at the store, so it reminded me of asking my Vital Care Premier account. I showed the Petco app on my phone to one of the staff that I could not turn off the Auto-Renew Plan, and surprisingly she had no clue and suggested me to contact the Customer Service. A couple weeks later, I decided to try it one more time on Petco website. I used the online chatting function on Petco website to look for a solution and received a customer service phone number (They could not help me from the online chatting). When I was typing another message to explain my situation, the chat session was ended by the representative. Shouldn't the representative wait for my response to end the session? I then called the customer service and explained the situation. The lady who helped me could easily switch off the Auto-Renew setting from her side. This is RIDICULOUS! The company made the option available on the website and app, but customers can not do it by themselves. I had to waste my time to get it done (one trip to the store, online chatting, phone call to customer service) instead of a simple click on the website or app. I doubted that they knew it and just wanted to make the cancellation more diffcult. Be careful about signing up for the Vital Care Premier plan! Not sure if any other customers had the same experience of cancelling the membership. No more Petco. Go to PetSmart or Amazon.

They are much more resilient than standard aquarium fish. I ask the kid near the tanks for a couple of scoops of feeders, maybe 20 or so. Punk starts demanding what size tank I have and what kind of fish. NONE of his business. I reiterate I just want feeders. He states hes the manager of the store and refuses to sell them to me. Goes on some weird rant about how the feeder tank is "thousands of gallons of water" and it's his responsibility to NOT sell me fish unless I tell him my tank size. I kept repeating they were feeder fish. He kept on about it being his responsibility to make sure the fish were going to be appropriately taken care of. FEEDER gold fish. In the end I just left and went to PetSmart where you're not grilled by some snot kid about feeder fish care. If my kid keeps with her fish project, I will certainly NEVER buy at Petco. Most infuriating Mother's Day experience ever. And their Bettas looked half dead as well.
