I had the pleasure of visiting this place for the first time after being recommended by multiple people. Although small, there is still a good selection of very healthy fish and invertebrates, supplies, and an especially amazing coral tank. Prices range from the very cheap for common frags to the very expensive for rarer species. If you're in the area and looking to set up or add to your saltwater tank, then this is the best place in Central PA.

Friendly staff. Very clean. Nice selection of corals. I’ve got a couple of beautiful tangs I got there a few years ago, along with a few quality frags. Unfortunately their hours don’t mesh with my work schedule and I rarely get to pay them a visit. Definitely worth a visit if you’re interested saltwater fish or growing corals.

Awesome place if you are in the saltwater hobby! the owner took his time with me going over possible corals and fish for my tank, he seemed genuinely happy to help me, not pushy at all and was very reasonable on prices. I was skeptical at first because the shop is a little small but they do a great job of utilizing space for products and fish and it was very clean and well kept compared to most other fish stores I’ve been to. 100% will be doing repeat business here!

Highly recommend. I love this little Shop. It's clean his fish, corals, inverts, and tanks are clean and healthily. The owners are very welcoming, kind, and very knowledgeable. Prices are very fair knowing that his livestock are the best you can get. They a a great selection of food chemicals and any other of your aquarium needs.. I will continue and always shop at the saltwater shack

I would highly recommend this place due to it being a local business but also a very knowledgeable place. They keep all the essentials to maintain your marine/reef tank in tip top shape. Have a nice healthy selection of corals, inverts and fish. Very clean and very welcoming. Owners are great and will help you with any obstacles that are overwhelming you with your tank. Great LFS thats willing to help and is not just after your money.
