Avoid this place!!! I went into the store looking to get some insight with some problems I'm having with my tank. First and foremost neither of the employee's came up and asked if I needed some help. I then had to search down someone and I honeslty felt like I knew more about this hobby then they did...which is down right sad. Then I felt as if I was given a rehearsed speach about how I needed this product and how it would solve all my problems. Anyone in this hobby could tell you right away that nothing is as simple as it seems. I was hoping I could problem solve with the employee's instead of getting products thrown at me from left and right. If you want true help with anything regarding this hobby, this store is not for you. If you want to spend money on multiple products that are supposedly "guranteed" without hearing them back it up with science then here's your store. Last time I will step in that place.

I saw the tank in question. It was literally a piece of crap. The only mistake was the store owner allowed it to come in his shop. I have purchased a tank from them and all is well with it. I would do it a second time when the need arises. The have a decent selection of corals and are willing to talk

I'd like to respond in regard to the bad review from lisa. When consigning their tank with us, I told them from the first time I spoke with them that they were asking way too much money for their tank. This shoud be seen as a good sign to our customers that we refuse to sell anything in our store that is overpriced.



Second, they have been impossible to stay in touch with and communicate with. Their tank was incredibly scratched and in poor shape. I paid money to advertise their tank through multiple venues, went to the store on my day off to meet people interested in their tank, as well as paid employees on their days off to try to sell it.



It's dispicable that they would then turn to yellow pages to write a poor review. Maybe you should think twice next time before driving to a town you don't live in, drop off a huge tank that you're asking for more value that it's worth, and then stop talking to us. It's common sense not to drop something off that you apparently value very highly, more than 500 miles from where you live-- only to tell me you don't have money to move it when I can't sell it at the requested overpriced value. You obviuosly couldn't sell your tank for whatever price you thought it was worth. You're lucky I didn't throw your tank out after you started yelling at me through numerous emails and phone calls because you were upset with the tanks fair market value.



We're happy to offer consignment, but in doing so it's important to sign our consignment contract which agrees on a fair market value and the store's commision, as well as a time frame in which we will offer it for sale. As these people didn't stay in town long enough to sign a commission, and dropped their oversized and overpriced tank in a store they've never been to, and never planned on going to again. You should be ashamed.

Don't go here. A friend of min...

Don't go here. A friend of mine was trying to consign a huge tank through them. The employee he spoke with said there would be no issues with bringing the large tank to the store and selling it (with a percentage to the owner of course). When the owner offered to buy the tank for pennies on the dollar (my friend was already selling it for much less then it's worth) the owner told my friend to remove it from his store. Now my friend is stuck because of the considerable money it took to transport the tank he does not have. I'd report them to Better Business. Very shady business.
