This place is amazing! It has everything you need and more! The owner of the store is absolutely incredible and has a great team. He has helped me with every step of the way in getting a fish tank of your dreams. Him and his great team were able to install a 110 gallon Waterbox tank on my 5th floor within an hour or so without any complications. It’s been almost a month and I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. I recommend anyone who is into this hobby to pass by and check it out!

Love all their aquariums. The have some of the cleanest tanks and it will be difficult to find a dead fish. I'd definitely want to buy all my fish from here. They staff is so nice and helpful. They also can have some great deals on some corals.

I love to come here. My preferred aquarium to be honest. They're always very helpful and answer my bajillion questions. They're very nice folk and are very knowledgeable in the saltwater tank hobby. Their location is lovely. They keep everything clean. Enjoyable to shop for your fish, corals, and other necesites. I definitely recommend them whether you're a beginner or an expert in aquariums. A big thank you to them all for everything always!

Let me start this by saying that I have been to many, many other aquarium stores. None can compare to Ocean View Aquariums, NONE. The level of expertise and help you receive from the staff is phenomenal. They have knowledgeable personnel who truly understand the chemistry behind the hobby and who are more than willing to help you solve your problems. And believe me, there’s no problem they can’t solve. I’ve been going to this saltwater aquarium store for more than 3 years now and I could not, in good conscience, recommend any other place to my friends and colleagues.The base for any successful saltwater tank is the WATER CHEMISTRY, and boy do they have it down. There are employees there who can solve nearly any chemistry issue even if they have to think outside of the box to figure it out. These guys know what they’re talking about.This is not a cheap hobby by any means, but this store has AMAZING PRICES, lower than the competitors, along with wonderful associates who know they’re stuff. It truly means a lot to have people who work there who are ready and able to send you home with all the information you need to keep your new friends alive.There are several other stores in the area, but if you want the BEST SERVICE and PRICES and SELECTION of FISH and CORAL, go here, you will never look back. They even have SALES, I got two Zoa frags at 2/$30 on a zoa that would’ve easily cost me $15 per polyp at other stores, let alone $15 for the whole frag. I promise you will not regret investing your time and money here. You’ll even want to thank me!I included some pictures of the store.

Update! Owner is so clueless that he doesn't even know how to properly list hours of operation on his own property 😂This use to be my go to store but every fish and coral from here dies in days. Overpriced and the owner Joel is a nightmare to deal with. Calls his customers fat in local chat rooms!

The owner is very hands on. The staff is really knowledgeable and provider great feedback. Doesn’t feel like you are being sold on things. They allow you to browse and the overall experience was great. They provide both sea and synthetic water options by the gallon. I picked up several fish and they are beautiful and alive. The yellow tangs look great and are really healthy. The flow and look of the store is nice as well.

Store is great! Live stock selection is great! most widely available selection inverts down here. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and have a plethora or knowledge to share. Treat me very well. Great coral selection. Only thing I do recommend as I recommend to anyone who purchases anything from any store is make sure to dip your corals to prevent any pests that may be hiding in them to dislodge!

Every coral i asked the price on , i was told not for sale. My buddy and I walked out. Why have all those corals if you arent selling them?

This is by far the best Aquarium Store in the area. They are so attentive, the customer service is amazing. I had my fish tank custom made by this shop, they gave me the best price on a top brand tank. I purchased the best corals, they also carry rare fish and corals. If i can give the a ten star i would. I go every week for supplies and food for my reef and the service is always 10 stars. Thanks again Ocean View i will definitely continue to come every week.

Immaculately clean state of the art looking store. Everything looks new and clean. Everyone has been super nice every time I've been there. They have a very nice selection of fishes as well as merchandise. Corals are starting to get better. Their selection of inverts is ok. Definitely a must see place. Would love to see an out of this world display tank.

We walked in looking for a specific clown fish that we haven’t been able to find in other shops. They had a great selection of storm clown fish and at good prices too. All the fish look good and healthy this is going to be our new spot to buy fish. We asked them so many questions and they answered them all. Love this place

Great Aquarium Shop, Great Staff. Nice fish and corals selection. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A little low on inventory sometimes. Fish are prophylactically treated. You'll often find very fair prices, and some unusual specimens. They seem to do a lot of Instagram type raffles, if that's your thing. This is my usual go-to reef shop.

You know there is a lot of aquarium stores on Bird Road but this little shop has something the other stores don’t have The team that works here is top notch I had a series of questions and they knocked them out right back to back to back to back no problem without getting frustrated even though there store was packed they took the time to answer this newbies questions i was very impressed to see fish that I hadn’t seen in other shops they have quite a selection of fish and coral they also have a ton of fishtanks instock ready to go and every accessory you can think of for your tank like I said there’s many shops on bird road but there’s only one like this I will definitely be bringing back my business to the store thank you very much for taking the time to take care of me today you’ve gained a new customer. Maker sure you ask about the store raffles!!

The store looks really really nice. All LED lighting on their tanks. Granite countertops. The store is immaculate & really well organized. Not too much live stock to offer though. Mostly softies like leathers is what I saw although they did have some very nice fish like a clown trigger & wrasse but that was it. Prices are typical. Decent amount of merchandise & a plethora of chemical products available. The staff is alright. Decent store overall.

Very nice staff! Well spoken and knowledgeable on Coral and water perimeters, if you're looking for water quality, talk to Rafael! He's been great at setting up our reef ecosystem

This is my go to shop for my all my aquarium needs. The staff is very knowledgeable and has helped me a lot.Hands down they are the best. I had a tank that I bought from another store and it broke. They stored my corals and corals while I got a new one from the manufacturer. They held everything for a month, saving my fish and corals that I had a lot of money invested in. No other store would do that.Have a deep respect for that kind gesture. Hard to find people that will help no a days without wanting something in return.I have a new tank and I look forward to stopping in each week to see the new stock of fish and coral. They a huge and healthy variety.Check them out and ask for Alex or Moises and tel them Geno sent you.

Haven't purchased anything from here yet but just talking to Moses made it clear that this is definitely going to be my go-to place for all my reefing needs. Just the fact that he understood the CO2 to PH correlation was awesome. Not to mention the fact that they have an AMAZING selection of corals and livestock has me sold. Don't go anywhere else!EDIT: 2 years later, I've now setup my tank and you better believe this is where I got my first fish and coral from! Still the best service in all of South Florida with healthy live stock and the best selection of hardware and goods. I dare you to find a better LFS than these guys!!

This is the best store for all your saltwater needs. Alex, Alain, and Jorge are all very knowledgeable and willing to help you every step of the way to having a successful tank! They also have a lot of dry goods and are always getting new shipments of livestock
