I heard Aqua SD would have a grand opening yesterday, so I visited this shop with my kids to checkout, and they were so excited to see all exotic sea animals. The shop was well organized, and corals, exotic fishes, and sea animals seem to be well maintained, and look healthy. I would definitely revisit this place to build my own aquarium. :)

They moved to a new shop and the new place was gorgeous! They had many different types of corals and they all looked so healthy and colorful! I will definitely revisit this place! I am so glad that I could find the right place!!

Will NEVER order from them again. 3 times I've had issues with this company. The last two times, I took the day off to receive my order, but it never came on the date I selected. Now, this last time was the nail. I sent out emails prior to the delivery date and still didn't receive my order on time. I called and was met by we're having phone issues. Let's text. I explained that I didn't receive my order and was told I should've emailed. I called several times after asking to speak to a manager and was told he was not in. We can take a message. No apologies at all. The person said it would be shipped Friday. On Friday afternoon, I received an email. Please email us we're unable to reach you, so we can't ship. I called several times, and there no answer, so I called back a minute later with my number blocked, and they answered. Finally, I received my order in an unmarked box left outside. I live in the northeast and it snowed two days ago. I'm done and will never spend a dime at aquasd

Just unpacked a large order of beautiful corals from Aquasd. Prices were a great deal and the shipping was flawless. I will definitely be ordering from this shop in the future.

Amazing staff. Really clean presentation. Coral displays were clean and easy to understand pricing. Really wide variety of colors and styles too. Was able to find corals that had the shape and look I wanted while also getting to see some different color combos. Staff was really helpful with descriptions and clearing up a few misunderstandings I had. Highly recommend!

Always a pleasure walking into Aqua SD the staff is so kind and knowledgeable. Manny has always helped us with new tank set ups and the appropriate timeline in adding corals and fish with that being said our tank has thrived. Great selection of corals and fish. Couldn’t be happier with the service!

Great experience. Purchased a 13 inch red haddoni. Huge specimen. The packing was great. Response to my questions was timely. Anemone doing good. Not even halfway open yet. Picture is after 5 hours in my display

Good selection only issue I have is if I am paying for shipping why is there a order minimum I pay the same $40 shipping no matter the amount of coral I buy so why can't I buy a single frag under $100 and pay the same shipping.

Throughout 20 years in the the saltwater aquatics industry, this is the best company that I have done business with! Some of the most competitive prices on the market while retaining some of the most high quality vibrant corals I have ever purchased! Had to make a few changes to my order and shipping address.. This company not only corrected all of my order alterations but they responded so quickly that I never had a doubt or worry about my order. My order shipped across the country over night and all of my corals were in tip top shape in high quality packaging! Very impressed with Aqua SD and their amazingly helpful staff! Will never go through another company! If you are looking for the highest quality corals at a extremely competitive and realistic price, best customer service, and most carefully packed and shipped orders..look no further, these are your guys!! Extremely trustworthy and passionate about everything they do!

Great experience working with Manny! The shop is in emaculent shape and the staff knows there stuff and is very customer service oriented. Plus, the shop seems small but looks can be deceiving. If you are lucky enough to be taken to the back room you will be amazed on the amount of stock they have. If you want it, they have it! No joke, this place is awesome and highly recommended. I will definitely be back to feed my MTSD!

First time ordering and was met with some adversity. Started on my end with the wrong info, they reached out and was patient. Got my order sent but still with some issues. They reached out before I ever received my package wanting to make things right. They took accountability for the mistake and wanted to do anything to make it work. That to me is what will keep me a customer. Through adversity they showed their integrity and I can’t thank you enough for your customer service. I look forward to ordering more with you guys.

I placed an order a little over a week ago and then added on a week later. The add on was seemless. Unfortunately the BTA I ordered was unavailable. I received a call today letting me know and asking if I'd like anything else. They offered me more than the value of the BTA. Couldn't be happier. I've purchased corals and inverts online from other suppliers but none came even close to their quality of service. I will never shop online anywhere else. Thanks!

TLDR- Great coral and deals but if your shipment comes in damaged, good luck getting a response. They don't care about their customers.Great corals and prices but really bad customer service. Id recommend only going in person. My first order had a coral dead on arrival. They promised it would be included in my following order. My second and most recent order showed up in terrible condition (probably not their fault). One of the bags was slashed in transport. The box arrived to me repackaged due to it being completely soaked and destroyed. The coral in the broken bag was shriveled with the skeleton showing. I have not heard from them after emailing them multiple times. Pictures and email sent Friday afternoon. No response for 5 days and 3 of those were business days. The kicker was the previous dead on arrival coral was not even included in the box!This isnt a stand alone issue, my local fish group have all sworn off ordering from Aqua Sd. Wrong corals arriving in shipment with no customer service. Completely ignoring emails about issues with their orders.

It's the second time that I do order corals from Aqua SD and the corals do arrive perfect! In a matter of minutes fully open! Between euphilias, rhodactis, scolys and an elegance coral that is gigantic and fully open in 15 minutes, a moving dendro that's fully active.Great shipping and costume service!

this is a review show how the fix problems that can and will pop up from time to time.during a 90% off sale and a massive Ebay i picked up 4 corals from aquasd web page and won 6 ebays. one the the 4 corals from the web page was a super yellow 24k torch... in the chaos of all the orders my ebay order didnt get sent with my main order.when the order from the web page showed up, on a friday, i opened the box, minimal leaking. but the torch. the torch i had been waiting on for a long time. my crowing torch for the last spot in the tank was mostly just skeleton. so i took photos and sent it in right away. also one of the acro was looking a bit on the white side. but its a white tundra so i was not sure just how much should be white.they called me and we spoke about the torch, noting with luck it would recover over the weekend from the stressful trip. at one point it poked out some but by morning its was just the skeleton.so i sent photos from Saturday morning , Sunday and Monday morning. this way they could see it never came out.Tuesday mid morning they called , then emailed and asked for a bit more info. Wednesday they asked what day would be good to send the ebay order and the replacement torch. i told them Wednesday ship, Thursday delivery would be a good day as i can be home for the delivery. when they came, it had the 6 ebay corals i won and a 2 headed 24k torch!!!they did not have to send a 2 headed torch to make it right but they did. this is not a cheap torch per head. im very happy how they fixed the issues that popped up on this one.i have gotten 80% of my corals from aquasd. and will continue to get more as needed.
