I have been a customer of this business since 2002 when I started my first 29 gallon tank. They…read moretaught me so much that I even had them build me a 120 gallon fish tank back in 2005. They came and set it up for me, and it served me well for six years, until I took it down and moved out of state, lugging this tank with me all over the West Coast of the U.S. where it stayed in storage for the past 13 years, but now that I am back and all settled in, Bryan helped me get it back up and running. It looks great and held up really well, and we started adding some fish. I definitely recommend this place. Bryan knows what he's talking about. He is patient and very helpful and doesn't try to upsell you. It's been a great experience working with Bryan and the staff at Marine Warehouse.

I went to the store yesterday and asked the guy with a beard at the front to test the water. He had…read morea bit of an attitude and asked me what for. After I explained that I've had a new tank up and running for about two weeks, he immediately said there's nothing to test for because there have been no fish in it. Another associate near the tanks asked if I needed help, and she offered to test my water. She took my water to the front, where the bearded man saw my container and glared at me like I was bothering him. I didn't see them do anything, but she came back after a few minutes and said my water was fine. So, I proceeded to buy three fish and acclimated them to the tank as you're supposed to, but when I woke up less than nine hours later, everything was dead. Yet, my water was fine?!? Today, I will be visiting Petsmart, where the staff is always willing to assist their customers. I was hoping for a better experience here, as they have a great variety of fish.

The owner, Paul, is the star of this place. I was a forever customer from the first visit, and…read moreevery visit after I leave happier learning knowledge to take care of my pets properly! My first visit I bought a gourami and some plants which were half the price of what I would spend at a chain store. He took the time to talk to me about where his fish come from and his history, which is fascinating! I told him my tank dimensions and he gave me lots of options to stock my tank. My gourami is still swimming happily with his new plants today. My second visit I bought a few tetras and an African dwarf frog (which was a dream pet for me!) and I also got some more plants... Unfortunately I had an issue with my tanks nitrate levels and my tetras weren't doing too hot. I called him immediately to ask for advice and he gave me great advice that ended up saving my tetras. He really cares about what he does and his customers. He carries all ranges of fish, saltwater, freshwater, giant and tiny. Even stingrays and eels. All of his fish are quarantined prior to arriving in his store, so his fish are healthy and taken care of. He has many plants and will accommodate special requests for you. Not to mention, but his prices are unbeatable for the quality. If you are a seasoned aquarist or just looking for a new hobby, please check out this place and speak to Paul!

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".

What an appropriate name for a business. This man is not to be trusted with your fish care by any…read moremeans. Following his advice on how to improve my tank resulted in one of my fish being able to escape the day of his services. His negligence showed a gross failure to understand the behavioral nature of the fish he was caring for despite his constant self-praise on virtually all matters fish-related and equally frequent speaking down to other animal care businesses in the area. I texted him about what had happened and he couldn't even be bothered to respond to the death of my fish, which I found on the floor of my home after work, being eaten alive by ants while slowly and painfully dying, trying to regulate his breathing enough to survive out of water. Nothing will bring back my fish but hopefully this post will keep other equally trusting people such as myself from having to experience the same fate of the animals they love.
