I love these guys! Im a designer & artist & called asking for what I didnt know was an uncommon name for a plate coral I needed pictures of, for my painting template course to teach people how to paint these things, & instead of hanging up on me not knowing what Im talking about, the guy asked what a different scientific name it might have, what it looks like, & even looked it up on the web right there. I then came in to the store and he GAVE me 2 plate coral skeletons that I could photograph myself & use in my instructional videos as well, & told me how to clean them up!! Now I dont have to travel the world wide or deal with paying someone for use of their copyrighted plate coral photo! Plus my friend that came with me, discovered a new possible hobby he could get into that Ive been trying to get him to take up some interest that would enrich his life. He went home all excited about starting up a fish tank.

This is my go-to store for my 6 year old reef tank. I get my water here- both RO and pre-mixed salt, which Jason always helps me load into my car. Unlike some stores where people will sell you stuff that you dont need or might hurt you or will just die (beautiful but cold water snails or venomous fish or useless chemicals) Jason is honest and does his research - he will find what you need to know and show it to you in his books right there at the store. Jason keeps me updated on local reef events, and when I need something he doesnt have in stock, he orders it for me. His hours are great, and I have gotten some excellent fish and corals from him. As previous reviewers mention, I have also gotten pods to seed my tank and coral skeletons from him as well! I know hat if I ever need help with my tank, he is who I will call. Definitely recommend this store.

This store has clean tanks, a wide variety of saltwater fish to look at, and a great selection of both inexpensive and expensive coral pieces. After visiting all the other stores in the Inland Empire we found this one a clear favorite. The livestock is well organized so they wont kill/maim each other or get sick while in store; the owner knows what he talking about when you ask him questions. He cares about his livestock and keeps it as healthy has possible while in his care. His ten dollar frag tank cant be beat!! Great for reefers on a budget. Prices match or beat competitors in the area. Other stores are dirty and filled with disease ridden fish; and incompatible fish all in the same tank. This store keeps the fish well organized and safe from each other. Five stars, hands down the best place to buy anything saltwater in the IE.

First time in the store today, and this was by far the BEST fish store in the county!!! Great prices, amazing corals, healthy fish, and extremely knowledgeable staff! The display tanks were pristine and very well kept along with the fish. Seriously can NOT beat the prices on coral and having a larger reef tank this makes a huge difference! Also had a great selection on frozen foods (including Rods, which is somewhat hard to find out here.) This will be the ONLY store I continue to go to for my saltwater/ reef needs from now on.

Found this place on Google. Lots of Saltwater tanks and some frag tanks. Excellent place to find your cleaner crew if you have a reef tank. Good prices on frags to get your tank going. I go there for my hermits and snails. He gave me the best price I found on a powder blue tang. Not only that, its the only one that has actually done well in my tank. He answers all my questions and always greets me at the door. Turned me on to the red algae for my tangs, and if you have a refugium he has chaeto. Ill keep going back.

The store owner is awesome! He is always helpful and tries to make sure you are buying livestock suitable for your system. He always wants to make sure you are getting a quality coral or fish for your $. His frag sizes are big and healthy. I highly recommend stopping by this shop if you are in this area! They sell RO and premixed salt water, and dry goods. They will order dry goods for you if they are not regularly stocked so do not hesitate to ask the owner about ordering something specific!

Ive been coming to this place for years and Jason, the owner, is a very friendly and knowledgeable person. He goes out of his way to assist. My pump went out and Jason ordered and got the new pump the next day. He came to my house and helped me change it for no additional charge. I buy my water from him because his water is properly balanced with salt and other required chemicals. My tank looks awesome due to the water and the advice I get from Jason and Sean.

Do not waste a trip to this store..This strore screams neglect. Looks like the proprietor has called quits on tank husbandry and is going down with the ship. This place is dark and 99% of the tanks are empty and filthy. The few fish that are condemned to living there are in dirty tanks also. Coral selection is beyond poor and the frag display tanks are dirty as well. Most corals are the color of mud..

I came to this store. I asked Jason several questions about reef aquarium, he corrected me in a lot of errors I was making, now my tank is at 100% keeping consistency maintenance and all thanks to Jason. Now I buy my RO/DI water and Saltwater from him only. Thank you Jason for all your good advise you earned another loyal customer...

When I first started with reef tanks I was buying water from another reef store who used filtered sea water. I was having bacteria problems my corals were not happy, and dieing off. Switched to his water and my corals doubled in size within a month. And these guys are real, they dont mess around and take their job seriously.

Horrible Customer Service! Despite the fact that there were three employees in the store and only one customer, I had to wait to be helped. The person that helped me was rude, short (in speech, not height), and talked down to me. Further, from walking around the store I can say that many items are ridiculously overpriced.

Very awesome store the owner is really nice not only did he offer refreshments (soda water etc.) he gave me a bag of chile dogs. Great selection of frags that are big beautiful but also priced great. Selection of fish are beautiful he even had some goby and shrimp pairs. Could be the best tropical fish store in its area.

Nice looking shop, prices are average to high. Customer service was poor. Asked a few questions and was answered with sarcasm and just seemed short and some what rude. Will shop elsewhere for better service. BTW owners / employees it doesnt hurt to :-) and it goes a long way. Just some + feedback.
