Amazing corals at this store and very decently priced. Staff is so warm hearted and full of information. Will gladly spend time with you to answer any questions you have. Fully stocked with all red sea products which is a rare find - equipment and service products for the equipment.

Great spot and very knowledgeable owner, who is always there. Love the SPS frags and great prices. The new LPS system is impressive with tons of amazing torches and LPS frags. Fish selection is good.

Best spot to find affordable corals that I have found on long island. This is my new favorite place. I drive 30 min out of my way most times to come here.

I visited Tropical Island and met John for the first time yesterday. It was an absolute pleasure. John was very nice and never made me feel rushed. He was helpful and full of advice. He is a very experienced reefer and it shows. The corals in the store are gorgeous and tanks are clean. On top of that the prices are very competitive. I got 2 corals so far and will definitely be back for many more.

Knowledgeable family owned business. Good selection of Saltwater fish and an Amazing selection of Coral. One of the best I have seen in NY.

The only place we go to get our stuff. Jon is great and they have a ton of coral and a wide variety of very unique fish (not just saltwater). The owner Jon is great, he is more concerned with finding these fish and corals a good home and will at times advise against purchasing stuff (that's how you know he cares, its not all about taking your dollars). Will do free water testing. The employees are very knowledgeable about everything in this store (and believe me there is a ton of stuff). If you're in the hobby this is where you want to get your aquatic needs.

This place is the best and only place I go to for saltwater fish and coral. Both John and Kenny are knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The store is always clean and they take great care of the livestock they have.

Amazing local salt-water spot that had everything I was looking for. Employees were knowledgeable, and I received a lot of information and learned a lot. Shout out to Kenny - he was the best. If you live on Long Island this is THE SPOT. Thanks <3

Fantastic people, they are genuinely passionate about the hobby and are willing to help you succeed. John, Kenny, and Cassy are very knowledgeable and are meticulously conscious on the health of their fish and corals. Although the store is small, every visit seems fresh, and the wide variety of selection of corals and fish always seem to mystify me as if there was some sort of ADHD that was instilled in me the very moment I walk in lol. Anyways I place a lot of trust in them and will come here often to buy more.

Great for saltwater fish fresh water is lacking but that's okay. Fish Appear to be in good heath all the tanks appear to be clean. Staff is very friendly and happy to answer questions. And they didn't get angry when I instinctively touched the the tanks to try and get the fish to follow my finger.

The best LFS around. Superbly clean tanks, awesome selection and excellent prices. The variety for saltwater set ups is fantastic, as well as freshwater. The shop's corals are beautiful and they have a large assortment of dry goods. I'll be returning for sure!

This place has a great selection and very knowledgeable employees. I was very impressed by this place. Very reasonable prices as well. The customer service was so good I cant stress this enough. They even helped entertain my 11 month old son while I talked to an employee. Simply amazing.

This shop is legit. Superbly clean and all of the fish are looking very healthy and active. Shop obviously specializes in salt water fish but also had a nice selection of African cichlids, some harder to find species too. People working there are very friendly.You are not going to find mollys, tetras, danios etc in this store, it is more for the intermediate to advanced hobbyist.

Kenny is my dude. He's got a great selection of corals in that little spot over there. Definitely worth a look see if you've never been and if you have maybe its time to go back.

Awesome selection and super clean. I haven't seen one dead fish in their tanks. Everytime I walk in the staff is always hard at work cleaning/maintaining their tanks.

Amazing and cute little place! I just wish there was a bit more space to walk around. The isles are crowded. But people there are super helpful! I would recommend this place to anyone who has a chance to go!
