Great shop. Sean, Brenda and Dave are honest and fair. Great corals and fish. I can't recommend them highly enough. Also a good place for water. They build tanks and do service. They did a great job on my once yearly water change, so much easier than buckets or mixing.

Tried visiting the store today and clearly it has been deserted. It was a complete mess inside and majority of the tanks were empty. There were a few tanks still full with fish inside struggling to survive. Attached is a photo for reference. The tank was absolutely filthy and the poor fish was left to fend for himself. Honestly it made me sick and angry seeing these beautiful animals deserted in filth. The owners should be ashamed of themselves and I will be looking into filing a report.

Just found this store and couldn’t be happier. Fish and plants in excellent condition, personnel are helpful, prices are fair. Highly recommended.

They don’t want to sell. I wanted to buy a fish for my tank and I needed the advice. I also bought a fresh water plant and he just put it in bag, didn’t put water and didn’t close it. In Pet Supermarket or Petco they always put everything in bag with water and close it tight. So I have to put in my tank ASAP now or it will be dead. But I need to clean it and get prepared for new plant. I disappointed! Don’t recommend to go there. :(

This place is fantastic! Amazing selection of saltwater fish and live coral, plus anything else you can think of for your tank! Plus the staff is extremely friendly!

The last several times I have shown up at 1:00 according to when they say they are open. Six customers waited outside today waiting for the store to open and there's not one person to be seen in the store working. We waited till 1:20pm and left. The other customers left too. This is not the first time but it may be the last. Also called the store number about five times while we waited no answer.

Great fish store with excellent service! Sean went above and beyond to deliver my two anthias as I’m from out of town. He packages them up and had them ready for me to carry on a flight. Highly recommend!

The owners are passionate about their craft, this is an amazing shop. I have never seen such healthy and beautiful coral and anemones in a shop before. A great store run by excellent people.

Love this place. I'm here almost 4 times a week relentlessly asking questions about my tank. I'm currently setting up yet another tank and am slowly but surely collecting all my hardware from them. They price match all there items and you wont find a better deal any where. They are super friendly and knowledgeable and more than happy to honestly answer any of my questions. They stock only the best quality equipment and livestock. I know this because I'm in there every day asking the same stupid questions over and over and over again. I'm shure other fish stores would have chased me out of there stores with sticks and sharp objects by now. Take it from me, I've been everywhere, these guys are the best...

I've been visiting this store every single week since long time ago to buy my salt water, not too often buying corals because they dont have many options on the prices.. everything is expensive. also prices are not shows anywhere, you always have to ask. I went today cause they have 20%off to buy a coral that I wanted from couple weeks ago. They told me it was $35 last week, I remember very well. im not stupid, now today the same person told me its $50, plus 20%off, the owner I believe. So did he increased the price randomly or just for this Weekend 😂?Today was mas last day on this place, since this guy did that to me,well, maybe he has not memorythere was a tattooed guy before that used to do that as wall so nothing has changed.I wish they all the best.. remember guys there is plenty of places with variety of fish and corals.. is not only a good cleaning and service but sincerity and respect.

This store rocks, I needed a part for my rodi unit and I couldn't wait for a slow online store and no place has stuff like this except this place. Saved my butt and hella awesome, I was that dumb guy who comes in right before close and they were super polite and helpful. Definitely the hobbyist's place to go!

Very clean shop , nice people. Lots of SPS , Small to large colonies. They used to have great freshwater plants but have moved away from all freshwater , prices could be a lottle lower ( just my opinion) but very healthy corals and fish. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

This is a Fantastic Fish Store with FANTASTIC people! So glad I visited this LFS on my visit to the area. They are accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, every POSITIVE adjective you can use to describe someone. I visited the store and got some fantastic vibrant fishes and other goodies a reefer would need—even farm-raised Chaeto (that's hard to find) to battle my nitrate levels. Save your time and gas and plug “The Aquarium King” in your GPS because the name isn't for corny purposes; they indeed are the king of this hobby!! Take my word for it.

After being out of the salt game for a few years, I just started putting together a Evo 13.5.I’ve checked out 5 other shops in the area looking for some unique and colorful LIVE rock and I found exactly what I was looking for and at a great price here! Also this shop has the biggest selection of fish that I’ve seen. I’ll definitely be back once the new tank is cycled!

Incredible selection of saltwater exotic fish crabs and even a baby octopus. Huge indoor pond with over 40 big koi fish. Fascinating experience. Worth the time to visit. Rare and pricey fish but many reasonably priced.Friendly personnel who love the creatures.

Nice place for fresh and saltwater aquarium needs, accessories, food, fish, corals and crustaceans. Needs at least one more person on premises to help the only two reps, lots of items mixed in between salt and fresh makes kind of guessing where’s everything. Price wise is average with others except for the acros colonies (wayyy to expensive). Overall good experience and lady at the register always willing to help and find you anything you missed.

Wow what an excellent set up. Well maintained tanks, clean and pleasant to view. Owner has a large varieties of critters, corals, plants, and others for you to pick from. There’s a huge koi tank just as you walk in filled with busy body koi’s. There’s like a hundred in there all begging you to feed them. Yes you can feed them, but you have to buy the feed. Easily waste a quick half hour their just looking at everything.

Stopped by since it’s been a while since I checked out this store and I had heard bad things from other friends in the hobby but I couldn’t believe it since this store was so nice when I checked it out about a year ago.Boy am I disappointed. They upgraded the place which is nice but all the freshwater tanks have Ich or something else going on. One tank in particular is awful, all the fish are barely alive and their fins are down to little nubs so they can barely swim also they are covered in so many of the white spots that ich produces that I refuse to believe they are actually treating this tank at all. I brought up this issue to a gentleman who I believe is the owner and he was a bit dismissive about the issue. It’s no secret that ever since they started incorporating freshwater fish they have had one issue or another but ich has always been present in this store so clearly something isn’t being done properly.Another issue I saw when I was there was the bettas which are in tiny triangular tanks (about a gallon). It’s great that they’re in something bigger than a cup, I will not knock that but they could be more content in a community tank etc. They don’t have clean water and their water is not heated either. I hate to say this but I’ve seen chain pet stores with cleaner water for their bettas than this store. I asked about the water change regime for the bettas and they said they change the water about once a week. With how dirty these tanks look and how some were sick (one had an extreme case of dropsy) I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed it every two weeks or so.Fish don’t deserve to be kept in poor conditions because they are “just fish”, they are pets who should be in a clean and healthy environment not a dirty one filled with deadly illnesses and improper care.

Aquarium King is my go to place for Corals. They have a huge and wonderful selection and knowledgable staff to help you choose the best additions to your tank. I have purchased over half the corals in my tank from them and will continue to use them.They also off top notch moving and maintenance services if you are in need. They moved my 250 gallon reef tank with care.

Aquarium King is becoming my go to shop for the hobby. I have picked up some really nice coral from them and just today I found out they quarantine their fish too. Excellent shop!
