I went to a place in Lombard, about my filter. I just knew they could help me. BOY I WAS WRONG!!!They barely said 2 words to me. NO HELP AT ALL!!! But I figured out my filter on my own. Then I had a bacteria problem because it’s a new tank.I didn’t know what was going on. So before I put my fish in there, I knew I needed help again.Just when I was going to do something not so smart and go back to Lombard, I come across Aqua Pros. They were closed, but still took my phone call.Told me to bring in a water sample when they open. When I got there the customer service was amazing!! I had 2 people giving me information.MY WATER IS CLEAR NOW!!! MY NEW TANK IS RUNNING GREAT!!! They didn’t ask me for this review but I had to leave one.

Love this place. I wouldn't shop anywhere else. Best fish and fish advice for a new fish owner. Guys are clearly enthusiastic about their work and take lots of time to educate you on potential purchases.

They have a good selection of coral. The service is great. Bought my 80 gallon frag tank from them and I love it.

It's worth the drive! Nice shop, the owners seem to have an eye for picking really nice fish and coral for reasonable prices. Fyi, check there Facebook pages for what they have in stock.

A huge selection of anything you're looking for in the hobby including a diverse selection of corals and fishes at the best prices I've seen anywhere else. I originally started buying plants and freshwater fish for my planted community tank but always was amazed by the corals and saltwater fishes that were in stock, so much so that it pushed me to start my first reef tank and have been loving it since! The staff is friendly, very knowledgeable and really care about the relationship with their customers, it's easy to see why they have returning loyal customers.

One of the smallest and yet best place to buy saltwater aquarium fish and supplies.Prices are way cut down from anywhere else. Seriously just call and ask for a price then somewhere else. You decide.Staff is extremely helpful and nice, great place to buy coral frags, have purchased here several times and will continue to go back looking for great prices here.Very welcoming and great place to go to for your fish needs.

Can’t say enough good things about this place! Healthiest fish and corals around, always new stuff coming in and for some of the best prices around! Always willing to work with you and make a deal. Not to mention friendly staff that loves to chat about reefing while also always giving great advice for your underwater world as well! And if they don’t have it, they’re happy to get it for you. Check them out if you haven’t already!!

Whether you are interested in saltwater or freshwater you won't find a better place to go. Jonie was exceptional! Very helpful and patient...answered all my questions and made great recommendations. I have found my new aquatic store!!! You will not be disappointed in their selection of fish and accessories. Staff is wonderful!

Beyond amazing, thanks David and Michael! I drove from Milwaukee which is about an hour and 40 minutes. I found exactly what I was looking for at an amazing price. However, it would notfit in my car. Michael right away volunteered to deliver the item. I asked when he would be able to, he replied we can do it today! He made the long trek to my house to deliver a fish tank. This was above and beyond any of my expectations. I'm happy that I found this place and can't wait to have my new tank up and running.

Place may be small but the exotic colony’s and frags they have sure make up for it. Owners are willing to negotiate with you and even frag corals on the spot for you. 40 minutes away from me but it’s worth it every time!

Simply put Aqua Pros is the best,best in service, best in selection, & best in pricing. Odds are if you need something they have it in stock. Battery back ups, RODI units, pumps & sumps, UV sterilizers, tanks, rock, sand, salt, heaters, media reactors, etc. Name a dry good used in this hobby & they most likely have it on hand.All this along with the best selection of fish & corals around. If they don't have exactly what you're looking for David or Mike will happily order it for you..not David or Mike will order for you.

The store is small but the staff have been great! They have all kinds of little oddballs to find and the corals are fairly priced. Will return even if the drive is 45 minutes.

This place was a huge surprise to me! Came from Wisconsin to visit these guys on our WRS club bus trip. Their shop looked small and simple from the outside; don't let that deceive you! They have and AMAZING selection and for the right prices! The staff is super friendly and hopeful and I will be visiting them again! Thank you guys!AKA Coralfuture

Hands down the best reef store in the suburbs. They keep salinity at the rate serious reef keepers do, freely share knowledge and ideas, and have a great supply of very healthy livestock.I had recently set up a new tank, and instead of selling me fish I wasn't ready for, Jonie guided me towards ways to get my water parameters better before introducing new fish. Their prices are competitive with the internet stores, and you know you're getting quality items and sage advice.Don't waste time at other places (Reefwise, Aquarium Adventure, etc.) - go here first, you'll be glad you did.

Stop ✋ scrolling, stop ✋ researching. Go to this place. You're not going to find a better place than aqua pros. Its a mom and pop shop ran by two people who really care about your tank and what goes inside. Very environmentally responsible very knowledgeable great selection great people

Great people, very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Good selection of corals. Everything looked healthy. I have made the 90 minute drive twice now because I like the experience so much.

I decided to go here today because my local fish store is never open and I wanted to get some higher quality fish, and boy does this store have some good looking fish and for a very good price. A regular clownfish here is only 12 dollars when places like petco charge 20 dollars and my lfs charges 15. This place also quarantines, and treats their fish with copper unlike a lot of other stores. Its a small store but has just about every fish and coral you could ever need. The guy there was also super friendly and really knowledgeable . This place is a little out of the way for me but its probably going to become my go to store..

Very friendly and patient staff, helpful and willing to take time to answer your questions. Reasonable selection of fish and coral, good selection of products and accessories. This is a special little find in the western burbs, worth a visit.

You're always greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff that is more than happy to help you with both fresh and salt water.They always have a great selection of both livestock and dry goods, and are usually able to get specialty items.

My experience with the store was very good. I bought a fish, some inverts, and a nice piece of coral. They were very helpful, their prices are reasonable. I would definitely go back to this store.

Great little shop. Good prices and the owner Dave is not pushy at all. He gives sound advice and multiple options available for you specific needs.

Great spot for corals and fish, you can sometimes even grab some equipment or salt if you need some. Dave is knowledgeable and will help with what you need wheather you are a beginner or a pro.

This is my favorite aquarium shop. Obviously the coral is the main event and every time I go its the cat’s meow. But don’t forget the housemade plankton pods, RODI salt water. freshwater section & thirty-cent small feeder fish/shrimp & frozen goods with some “like new” steals she said they aren’t allowed to advertise.

Absolutely love the selection of corals, friendly advice, and getting a great deal. 45 Minute drive but I dont mind at all. Always spend twice on what I plan on. LOL

Knowledgeable and friendly owners, good dry goods stock and excellent livestock make this my go-to local fish store. I pass a few other well known stores to get here.
