Picked up some coral frags recently from them and as soon as I got them in the car I noticed that they all had a TON of red planaria on them luckily I think I eradicated them with my dipping and cleaning

I just started a freshwater aquarium. I love this store. The owner asked if any particular fish I wanted and he would get them. He always gives me a deal... they are extremely nice!!! I would highly recommend!!!

Don’t know why I didn’t write a review earlier. This is my go to store. I used to go to another store and fish after fish I would buy would die. My water was always in great condition. Found out after looking at their tanks that a lot of the fish were sick. Ever since I switched to this store, I have never had an issue with fish dying. All the fish are super healthy, and the owners are some of the greatest people I have ever met.

Every experience here has been 5+ stars at this location. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable with fresh and marine fish and other animals. I can tell their goals are safety and proper care of all of the animals and it goes to show that they place life above $$ which will keep us coming g back every time. Thank you, and if you want to do it right, this is the store for you. If you’re impatient and don’t want to listen on how to do it safe for the aquatic life, not so much. Amazing place!

Wonderful place. They are very knowledgeable and will help guide you. Don't believe the bad reviews, they all sound like brats who cant take someone else's recommendations. They service is great! I don't get ppl that think they are at a car dealership and need someone running to them as soon as they walk thru the door. If you need help, ask for it and I'm positive they would love to help. Can't recommend this place enough whether you have an established tank or are starting a new one. They have great selection are casual and down to earth.

It pains me to give 3 stars but the coffee is what saves them. Service is slow (as well as Mobil orders), the food is forgeddaboutit, decor is cold and outdated, and the bathrooms are dirty and hardly stocked. Please take a look at the other coffee people and use that format, but keep your coffee that is Superior.

A great small shop close to home. Brandy and John have recommend a great Aquarium Maintenance Service that has far surpassed what I was getting from Seven Seas. Brandy has helped with getting the proper livestock and John is there for my Cichlid addiction. Yes , I'm a happy customer who will be back often.

Staff is very knowledgeable, they will answer your questions, and not just sell you something, just to make a sale. Great place, great customer service

Unlike the other reviews, of a good experience with knowledgeable people; I was not able to even experience any of that, for I spent 5 minutes in store and NOT A SINGLE greeting or offer of assistance and multiple people passed me by. So I left and went to another place and was assisted right away with a greeting and so I spent a few hundred dollars elsewhere. I won't recommend this place to Anyone, for they ignored me and didn't want my money. Not sure why, I was a customer looking to buy, but they weren't, for whatever reason, willing to do their part and assist a customer. There's no need for reply or asking me, after the fact, to tell you more about the experience or even apologizing, which I doubt will occur. Just a waste of time.

Best prices in town on most dry goods, some of the fish they get could be priced a little better but honestly nobody is perfect. Most of what is here I’ve found to be a great value, Brandy and John are very honest people that aren’t just trying to make a sale. I recommend this store more than any other store in Cape Coral, and not too far away they have another location that is even nicer in Fort Myers.

My husband got a 90 gallon fish tank from this store. And all our fish are from here. High quality products and extremely knowledgeable. They care about there customers. Wouldn't recommend any other place like this. There impress there sh*t.... 100% satisfied!!

This place is just ok. It's quite cramped and hot in there. The did have the nerite snails that we were looking for though. The owner, I'm assuming he is, is very lackluster and very hohum. He is not the personable type clearly.

I visited this place one time and I promise, I'll never return. I have nothing nice to say about the owner, Brandy. Nasty, hateful woman. I was in there for ten minutes listening to her insult her customers and I couldn't do it anymore. On top of that, the place is disgusting and tanks were filthy. Just nah.

Great place! Always have clean tanks and evenly spaced fish not everything piled into one tank. Everyone there will always steer you in the right direction and are always willing to help and even offer water testing with purchases. Great prices on tanks and other large equipment that otherwise would cost an arm and leg to ship but get shipped to the store at no added cost to the customer which was a big + when buying my tank from them. I can always count on ARC!

Very kind and friendly staff. huge selection of fresh and salt water fish and supplies. Owner was kind enough to try and find a fish I've been searching for on one of his next orders. Prices are cheaper then most PetSmart/Petco places. Might be my new favorite store.

The owner is very knowledgeable and extreamly nice. He appreciates the art of the hobby and is not just there to make money. I also love his own frag plugs he makes. Im a huge disney fan and fell in love with his Mickey heads. He went out of his way to find me one he had in back even after it was past closing. This place is a must go to place if you are passionate about the hobby.

Hands down the absolute best LFS around. I’ve wondered into other stores locally out of curiosity but none compare to this place. I’ve never had an issue with any livestock/corals I’ve gotten from there, their prices are fantastic compared to others. Most importantly Brandy and John are very informative and helpful. Even if they’re busy they take the time to help you with anything that might arise with your aquarium. John has helped put together/build equipment that was confusing to me and they explain everything. They will sell you what you need and tell you what’s a waste of money. I appreciate that as this is an expensive hobby and I find comfort knowing they aren’t just out to make money.I’ve gone to most LFS stores from Naples to Port Charlotte and this store will always be my go-to for anything I need.

Very helpful, went in knowing almost nothing, came away... well, knowing only a bit more, but repeated trips have kept me on track preparing my first tank. They are unfailingly helpful. I visited many stores shopping for the best balance of patience and knowledge, and this seems to be it.

Super nice knowledgeable folks and the tanks are always very clean with zero sign of any diseases or parasites on any of their fish. We also needed an extension on one of our filters and they had the perfect piece. Thats hard to find these days.

Absolutely the best selection in cape coral. Extremely knowledgeable owner who sees it as a hobby instead of a job. 10/10 recommend. Lots of coral and fresh and salt water fish.
