Purchased UNS 60a and an extended list of required accessories for a new saltwater reef tank from nature aquariums in early January 24. Henry, a partner in the business put together the equipment and other items list and shipped it to me in Cleveland, OH. Henry has stayed with me by phone and messages ever since to get me through the end of tank cycling. I can only wish I lived near his store. His practice of having separate filter systems for each display tank is not common. His online store has top equipment for purchase. To say I recommend him and his store would be to understate it. You also have to check out his videos that provide loads of information on the hobby and equipment.

An aquatic paradise awaits at this remarkable aquarium store! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a team of knowledgeable enthusiasts - always 4 to 5 of them available - who are genuinely passionate about creating thriving underwater ecosystems.What sets this place apart is their dedication to ensuring each aquarium has its individual water system, ensuring the health and vitality of the aquatic life. The variety of fish and plants is astonishing, catering to both beginners and seasoned aquarists. They even have everything you need to craft stunning aquascapes including a rare gem like a dojo!One thing that continually impresses me is the team’s commitment to innovation. They regularly showcase new equipments, rare fish species, and eagerly share insights and recommendations for enthousiastes at all levels.I can’t recommend this place enough - it’s a haven for anyone passionate about aquatics. Every visit is a learning experience, and their dedication to helping the community succeed is truly commendable. If you haven’t been yet, I highly encourage you to stop by and dive into this aquatic wonderland!Photos: freshwater 21 gallon UNS 90L; dojo experience at the store; freshwater 5 gallon UNS

It’s been awesome getting to know Henry and Miryam over the last 6 months and even more of a pleasure working with them on multiple aquariums that I own. As avid aqua-scaper and aquarium enthusiast, Nature Aquariums provides the tools and products, necessary for any level of experience in this ever changing hobby.The store provides a welcoming atmosphere and you’re immediately greeted with Henry’s “Hello! Welcome to Nature Aquariums!” This is promptly followed up with a quick tour of their individually filtered tanks, aquascaping/design section, where you can measure out your tank and literally build a scape right there with unlimited materials. Turn the corner and he’s diving into the plants section, followed up with fresh and saltwater fish, finishing off with hardware, food and tanks on the opposite side of the store. They are both so knowledgeable, personable and work alcoholics, that the energy radiates throughout the store. I spend nearly 3 to 4 days a week - sometimes everyday depending on the project, in this store and it’s always the same thing, nothing but class and hands down the best customer service you’re going to find anywhere in this niche industry.The pricing is incredibly affordable, which clearly keeps an enthusiast like myself always coming back, but makes it easier for you to slowly immerse yourself into this lifestyle. I highly recommend Nature Aquariums to the beginner, the expert, or even the “I’m just getting back into it” person, as I’ve been all over the Tri-County area and the quality and professionalism cannot be matched.Don’t forget to ask Henry about his discounted plants, tanks and weekend events he puts on monthly and I would certainly check out their online store if you’re from out of town or just can’t get the time to stop in.

Needed to speak with someone in person knowledgeable about planted aquariums... I've been trying to figure out this hobby for about 2 years now and was tired of all the online opinions. This store is truly such a happy place. Beautifully set up tanks of all kinds from salt and fresh to paludarium tanks. Selection is just as incredible! I got here right before close but yet Henry still took the time to walk me through absolutely everything step by step. There's so many different ways that claim to be right to set up a functional planted tank and it's been very confusing for me at times. Henry didn't make me feel intimidated for not knowing things but made sure I was comfortable and understanding of how to set a planned tank up the right way. I left the store feeling confident and excited. Looking forward to stopping back in!

This is the only aquarium in the area that will actually sell you healthy fish. Henry is incredibly knowledgeable and always takes his time to help you make wise decisions for your tank. I love how my tank is turning out and is thanks to his guidance.

I had an amazing experience shopping at this store. Henry, the owner, helped me put together a gorgeous 50 gallon planted tank- from the tank itself to the filter, lights, substrate, etc, he is full of knowledge and advice to the new hobbyist. He listened to my goals (low light, low tech planted tank, lava rocks and a big piece of driftwood) and helped me put together a lovely aquascape at his design table. His advice regarding where to save and where to spend was invaluable. The store itself has a wide variety of aquatic plants, fish and shrimp- I will definitely be coming back once my tank is cycled and ready to stock. Thanks again, Henry and family!

Beautiful store, amazing and knowledgeable owner, awesome fish, and great products. I had an excellent experience making my own aquarium and aqua scaping it today during the workshop. It was fun and at an incredible price. I will surely buy fish from this store for it soon.

This is my Go-To Fish store. They have the knowledge, the equipment, and the livestock for everything I needed. If the staff didn't have what i was looking for they happily will either tell you where to get it or give you an alternative! The staff are so friendly and will always be willing to help you in anyway. The water system on there tanks is awesome! its all separately filtered, which means they are able to treat the fish for any type of illness or disease and still have available tanks to sell from. Also that means whatever may be happening in one tank wont be getting the others sick! They have an amazing YouTube selection with many helpful videos and even shop classes to teach you. By far the greatest LFS ive come across. Very clean and well maintained.

UPDATE: Well consider me impressed. It's been a very long time since I've found a true one stop shop. They carry beginner to expert livestock. Rare species you don't see everywhere. An incredible plant selection. Hardscape for the most discerning aquarist. Full line of aquarium co-op and UNS. Salt and fresh water. Healthy fish and plants, friendly people, great selection of high quality products. What more could you want?Even though it's not fully stocked yet, this place is a true aquarist store. I travel Orlando to Miami to go to aquarium shops, and this one is one of the nicest I've been to. Run by experts, and super friendly folks. I'll update once stock comes in. Even before livestock, this is going to be one of our go to places weekly.

Very nice aquarium shop. Employees are knowledgeable and kind. All the tanks are well maintained and aquascaped with live plants, wood and rocks. They sell everything you need to set up and maintain an amazing natural looking tank and aquascape.

The owner, Henry, is so amazing and knowledgeable I had such a positive experience with him. He walked me through setting up and caring for my nano tank step by step and helped me pick out plants that suit it perfectly. This is only a day after setting it up and the substrate covering plants are already starting to stand up and grow upwards. The store is amazing there’s an extensive selection of fish, invertebrates, and corals as well as all supplies needed for fresh and salt water tanks. All the tanks (including the bettas) are separate and cycled with their own filters. I’ll definitely be coming back here for all my aquarium needs and for any future tanks I might create.

Love this place! Has so much variety of hardscapes, plants, fish. I honestly can't stop going back. Everyone is super helpful and gives great advice. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to set up a new aquarium. Still can't believe how nice my tank looks after only 3 months!

So glad this store opened. Came in to get a wondershell for a 29 gallon & I'm definitely coming here to buy equipment & plants when I start setting up my 40 gallon. Talking with Henry definitely showed that he knows his stuff & I can learn a few things from him. If you love the aquarium/ aqua scaping hobby trust me this is a perfect one stop shop compared to the generic pet stores in the area

Great aquarium store. Great selection of fresh and saltwater fish and supplies. The tanks are very well maintained. I keep freshwater fish and the carry and have a great selection and lots more then what everyone else carries. The prices are very good and the quality of the fish is top notch. The owners are in the store, friendly, helpful, KNOWLEDGEABLE. The owner held a aquascaping class in the store... very well presented. I found this place online... it's a winner. I have been there 4 times in a week, even though there is a mom and pop store and a few chain stores much) closer to me.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this store. Their selection of products is incredible. The variety and quality of the options are top notch. They have the best aquascaping section that i have ever seen. You can find all different types of hardscape and all the things necessary to have an award winning aquascape aquarium. They have so many different plants and types you can't find at other aquarium stores. The owners are superb and the customer service is out of this world. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The overall shopping experience and store environment is perfect. It's beautifully decorated and sectioned out. Even if you don't have an aquarium, it's an amazing store to visit. I can't recommend this place enough.

Knowledgeable and helpful staff! This store has a great selection of plants, fish and accessories. The UNS Atomizer is pretty cool and keeps my plants well hydrated and it looks cool too! I haven’t purchased fish as I’ve only been to the store once, but they have a dozens of clean tanks and I’m looking forward to my next visit. It’s a worth a trip.

Everyone was super friendly and helpful. They walked me through the setup of the store and even best practices for the plants I bought. Will definitely be back!!

TLDR: This store has everything you need from plants to animals. Salt water and fresh.Just looking around the store and how neatly designed it is, I could tell the owner knows what he is doing, and CLEARLY care for all the pets within the store. A common thing I see at other pet stores is Beta in tiny cups, just hoping to be adopted. Here, they are well cared for in their own small tanks.I was looking to set up my first planted aquarium, and I was given an amazing crash course on what to do.I am very thankful for the knowledge I was given today, and I can't wait to start my planted aquarium!

Definitely a must go if you’re looking for fresh water aquarium supplies, fish, and plants. The manager was very kind and helpful and the employees were able to assist me with all questions I had about fish, tanks, soil, and more. One stop shop for aquascaping for beginners and experienced scapers.

I can’t say enough positive things about this store. I’ve been keeping and breeding fish for almost a decade, and I’ve never seen such healthy fish in a store. The owner Henry was extremely nice and helpful. They have all of the supplies I needed at reasonable prices, and from the brands I like. They also honored my aquarium co-op membership discount, which I was thrilled about! This store is around an hour away from me, but I will always come here first moving forward!
