Just a sample of the bad review this place has received in the past.

I have never went to the store, so I cannot comment on the place. Hope this helps.

One of the many threads on here about this place. A new thread pops up about every 6-8 weeks.

IMO, even a little bad press is bad for biz. These guys always get bad press!!

The place is run by a bunch of kids that sit out all day smoking out front. One guy will give you one price for an item and a different guy will give you a higher price...they don't have any prices listed..just whatever they feel like charging that day it seems. Regardless of the quality of the tank or the price, i wouldn't give them the satisfaction of getting any of my business.

Definitely shady, but decent prices. Bought a cleaner shrimp and flame angel from them a couple weeks ago. They a ton of purple tangs and were pushing those pretty hard ($25).

My buddy bought a tank from them about year ago and when it came in for some reason he had to pay more for the top and hood. He end up spending alot more than advertised, which i know clear for life tanks come with hood and cover because i just purchase a 50 gallon. I purchase 2 fish from them and 1 week both down the toilet. but they were cheap. Never again for me.

this place sucks. no matter what price they advertise I wouldn't trust them. If they were giving stuff away for free I still wouldn't go.

bad rep, history repeats itself.

I take that back, they do suck...

They are advertising they are a wholesaler and going "out of business sale". I stepped in there last week and so alot of fish with Ich.

The curiosity got me, but I wasted a trip.

Bought a 180 from them 5 month ago great price, no problems yet.

Rip-Off! Don't trust them.

I have gone over there 4 times to look and it is NASTY. They mix fish that each other. I am partial to Seahorses and they had a tank of about 30 and all were sick and being pecked to death by other fish. Almost all their skin was eaten off. The guys will LIE to your face. I think the equipment is a good deal, livestock gets a big negative.
