Common Questions
Can I bring my kid in just to look around?
Absolutely. Most people do.
Do you sell tanks and gear?
Yes—plus the kind of advice that saves you from wasting money.
What if I don’t know where to start?
That’s our favorite kind of customer.
Do you do cleanings?
Routine cleanings are part of fish tanks no matter how good the tank is set up… the timeline for cleanings is based off of how full your tank is and what kind of fish you have (some fish are nastier than others). We do routine cleanings to make sure there is no abnormalities with the water/fish/plants/coral. We make sure the glass is always clean and the living things in the tank are healthy.
