My husband and I just got back into the hobby last year and went in with fairly low expectations to this store. Not only was I completely blown away by how beautiful and healthy the livestock is, I was super impressed with how personable and knowledgable the owner, Dominic, is. This store is a must visit if you like corals! Dominic’s wide variety of knowledge and troubleshooting abilities are great when you need it and he is so willing to help. I will absolutely be back.

10/10 no joke I was so board one day I went from shop to shop. I did this as having a place you can trust will make a big difference in your success unless your a pro. I went to 4 places are they were all the same ish distance from were I live. Demonic had no problem helping me get prepared for the new tank that’s coming, from pre buying live stock to getting a budget figured out. Super friendly and passionate and clearly just loves to help people out. If your a newbie I’d go to him all day. I know I’ll be sticking to his shop for everything. To note if I got anywhere the experience I did here from any other shop I went to I would have stopped searching. Glad I did what I did.

Met Dominic today, the owner. I’m new to Salt Water Tanks. He explained things well and in-depth and had a great conversation about Fish! Hands down, great customer service and store. I’m so happy to be able to support a locally owned and operated establishment. 10/10. You will want to stop by here sometime, even if your just browsing.

Dominic is a straight shooter when it comes to questions about the hobby He's very knowledgeable. He's willing to get you started without ripping you off just to make a couple extra $. All around nice place and QUALITY products. Definitely recommend this place. Ya don't find places like this anymore. 🐠,🐡,🐟

Great business. Brett takes the time to go through any questions on a level I can understand being fairly new to reefing. I like I can see how some of his frags look grown in his bigger tank before I make a purchase rather than seeing them in pics. Clean setup and great-looking, well cared for tanks.

We have been to this store several times and think it is GREAT! The owner is helpful and honest. He has a fantastic selection of corals at good prices. We’ve also bought some cool fish and invertebrates which we are extremely happy with. Everything we’ve bought has been top notch healthy. Definitely one of our favorite places for our saltwater aquarium. Highly recommend!!!

Dom is the best! His knowledge is outstanding, he can help with anything. Go to the store and check out all his coral fish and his Pig-nosed River Turtle!

We have been to most of the marine/saltwater fish stores in Milwaukee metro. Saltwater Specialty is exceptional. The owner quarantines new fish for two weeks and actually has a fish return policy… With everyone else, it's buyer beware. I have watched people shopping through the plastic bags at fish stores when fish just arrive and take them home. We have gotten sick fish from three other stores. The owner Brett explained fish are stressed by being shipped in bags and so they tend to get sick. It sucks watching beautiful creatures die and then having to deal with parasites in your marine tank and eating the cost over and over. Saltwater Specialty has corals we haven’t seen anywhere else AND very good prices. The owner Brett is generous with his expertise and tells it like it is. He threw in a two legged starfish we were happy to pay for. (Kids get to see how animals can regenerate arms) He gave us an aerator for raising brine shrimp to feed corrals free. Listens to and treats children respectfully and you can tell he is in the business because he loves it. We had a couple of very cool fish that got sick and died. Brett is going to order us the fish we want and keep them in his treated quarantine tank for two weeks so we don’t have to set one up… Doing business right, making a hobby fun! Highly recommend.

Small storefront in downtown Waukesha run by a young, enthusiastic, knowledgeable owner. Fish selection is limited but he will order and quarantine for 2 weeks for you. Corals are plentiful, healthy, and a great variety at prices more reasonable than in any store in SE Wisconsin.Urge other reef hobbyists to support this promising place.

Destination shop, lots of different frags at 10 and 20.00 price point. Excellent service....owner offered to find specific fish for me. His corals look healthy.

Overall I probably wouldn't buy from this store again solely based upon their aiptasia problem. I wish they would at least try to manage the aiptasia but it is quite clear they don't just based on the sheer size of some of the aiptasia anemones in their large tank. They do have some nice coral frags, the employees are really friendly, and the prices are overall really great. But sometimes the cheapest things you put into a reef tank end up costing the most in the long run. Please Take Care Of The Aiptasia Infestation That Is Present In All Of Your Tanks!!!Edit: The store has seen major improvements within the year and I have to give it 5 stars as the aiptasia is virtually not present anymore and the tanks look all great and amazing! I can now confidently say I would recommend this store to anyone in the saltwater hobby.

Ok. I was like yeah right perfect 5 stars. Ok well sometimes you get proven wrong. He doesn’t have tons of tanks....but they are all kinda different and interesting. I am a die hard SPS guy, I guess you could say I am advanced in this hobby. Whatever. The owner, Brett, is trustworthy and knows his stuff. He has a knack for great Aquascapes and interesting twists compared to most stores. I enjoyed talking to him. He is just one of those guys that likes to talk reef tanks and he spends good time with his customers. His prices are super fair. And if you are a beginner I would go here. He will NOT take advantage of you. His fish seemed healthy and he does QT his fish. If you are in the area check it out!

Nice clean store. The owner seemed as excited about the hobby as I am. He genuinely appeared to be excited about the transaction. Please support this store because it's a diamond in this day and age.

Didn’t open when I drove 45 minutes to check them out. I waited around 45 more minutes to see if they would open but no one ever came to open the store.

Not much of a selection. Tanks are not very clean and the person working didn’t even acknowledge that we were in the store

Good selection of frags and fish appeared healthy. I bought several things and he gave me a discount at the counter. It is like buying from a fellow hobbyist.
