Thank you Chad for all the cool customer service you provide, your guys store is awesome and I enjoy walking in and leaving with something everytime, great selections on fish and coral, will be back!

The showroom is amazing, I really wish there were more stores with the same class that exists here. Dave is amazing and is great at answering all of my questions. Additionally, Dave has done several special orders for me for various fish and coral and I couldnt be more pleased.

The Showroom is absolutely amazing. The lights, corals, fish, and tanks are so cool looking and well kept. I love the music too. I’m so glad I called Dave and his team to service the tank at our office, he literally saved it and was able to upgrade our system. It looks better than ever now. Just picked out some pretty fish from the showroom, and I can’t wait to come back to buy more! Thank you so much Dave, you’re the best!

Why isnt there more awesome aquarium businesses like this? Im thinking because they actually do it right!I went in hoping they had aquarium moving services as I was moving from one city to another but I totally forgot why I went in there for as it was so cool to look at. Fantastic showroom, well kept fish.. wish it was bigger! I love it

Always a good experience here, they will work with your specific needs as well. RO water is super clean, good selection of corals.

Very cool place and nice and knowledgeable staff but overpriced corals and the fish are sick, too scared to buy anything because anything that looks somewhat healthy is sharing a tank with something that has velvet, ich or pinch guy. Pretty sad selection of snails and crabs overall an okay coral place just make sure u dip and QT anything from this place.

Nice selection great help

Dave and his team are the BEST ever. Do NOT go anywhere else for your needs. I have go thru a lot in getting my saltwater tank going and Dave went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure my success. Always available when I had questions and support when I didn’t think I could do this. This is by far the greatest customer service I have experienced and/or seen in my lifetime. I have been dealing with customers for 45 plus years and Dave truly shows his clients are the most important thing to him. Thank you all !!!!

This place is for lack of better words, awesome! Based on the pictures here, I thought it would only be an aquarium manufacturing business with show tanks, but its actually an upscale reef shop. Good selection of coral from reasonably priced frags to mini colonies to centerpieces. Ill be stopping by any chance I get.

Good aquarium store.

Just took a look inside while waiting for friends to arrive before a movie. Seemed very nicely kept. I was greeted nicely by a gentleman. I told him I was waiting for friends. He was very cordial. Coral selection was beautiful.

Best Place Ever been done Business with Missed Sarah Today darn miss her. Dave is a Great Guy very Helpful and will help you with any questions or suggestions you have, Keep the Reef Alive. Thanks Dave and Please dont forget about my 4 Clams had vibrant Blues The biggest one. Take Care Catch up later Sheri Howell. Oh my Rose anenome but its okay.

Dave is a very knowledgeable person and a great help when a problem comes up.

Pretty showroom! One of the few places in North County SD that carried the Fish Antibiotics I was looking for, for my sick fishey! Staff was helpful too!

Owner is always happy to offer advice. Coral and fish are always top notch and Dave will order whatever you want. Well worth a visit!

Cool place

I was there from the beginning and the owners are hard working people who really take great pride in their shop. In the age corporate stores it is refreshing to see that independent shops can still thrive. Between Dave and Sarah, they have great knowledge of corals, fishes, and everything else that lives in a reef tank. They sincerely care about doing the right thing for their customers. They only advise what you really need and not up sell you like so many of the other stores. They have really unique specimens at very reasonable prices. If you dont see what youre looking for they can definitely get it for you. I would highly recommend you stop by and check it out.

This is now my go to store. The owner really knows his stuff and is a solid business owner. Water changes with the other guys water my hard corals were dying. Hours with a water change of Aquaticas water and my tank is already happier and the dying corals or noticeable doing better. Their display tanks Speak for themselves.

My wife and I had a saltwater tank about 40 years ago and struggled with it for around a year. We decided to try it once more and just by chance stopped in Aquatica and spoke to Dave. Dave walked us through everything and I might add still does. We went to four other stores in the area and came to the conclusion that Aquatica is the best. I have always believed that you get what you pay for and we have never had a problem with the equipment and supplies purchased from the store. We would highly recommend this store to the beginners as well as the experienced. The fish and corals are always in good health and Dave, Sara and Joe are extremely helpful with any issues we seem to have.

Cleanest showcases in the area. Dave and Joe took the time to show me their quarantine and the filtration and seemed very proud of their setup.All of their fish are quarantined and feeding/healthy before being moved to the showroom floor. Arrival dates are listed for each fish and they provide tracking information on every fishs history. They do not use any copper medications in their tanks.The corals are healthy and thriving. Aside from a few zoanthids, none of the corals were sitting on plugs. They have some very unique specimens and some are showpiece quality straight from the store.Everything here is quality over quantity. They are setting the example for how all stores should be doing it.

Yes much of what they sell has a price tag higher than the standard pet shop. Hower most of what they sell can not be found in an ordinary pet shop. They have star fish and sea horses and many very exotic fish and even anemones. Many of these if you did see them in a regular pet shop would likely be more expensive than they are here. Some people may complain that it is expensive. These people do not realize what it is they are looking at and how expensive they would be some where else. They have a green blue sea horse here that I have seen only once at pet smart sold for 45$ but here they sell it at 25$. Yes that is an expensive fish however it is being sold cheaper that the going rate. This is a shop of quality products, for serious fish lovers who seek more than Platys Guppies and Betas. Also they make custom tanks here, and engineer High quality habitats with full and divers ecosystems. If you want the most exotic fish and the best habitats for them and are not afraid to lay down some serious cash this is the place to go to get the best bang for your buck. I you want a couple gold fish and a Bala shark go some where else.

Thanks David... Coral was really appreciated...

Great selection of quality corals. Great customer service. Very knowledgeable staff.

Place is small but it has alot of neat selections on corals! And verry knowledgeable staff tanks look verry clean and shop looks amazing!!

This was the nicest place I think Ive ever been. The staff were friendly and helpful and the store was beautiful. I cant wait to buy from them.

Dave the owner and Joe the fish keeper are wonderful to do business with. His store is clean and he offers San Diegos finest fish and corals. Dave saved my tank from complete catastrophe after another fish tank store improperly installed my tank components and the tank experienced an outbreak of ICH which killed half of my stock. Highly recommend Aquatica!!Chricatastrophe

By far the best quality saltwater coral reef-specific shop in North County. I would say anywhere, but I havent been everywhere. ;)

Great service. Helps out with maintaining our tank along with a place to buy fish.

One of the best fish stores in San Diego county.

Amazing little shop with beautiful, healthy fish, corals, and living rock for salt water aquariums. Really strange location (hard to find), and definitely on the pricey side, but well worth visiting if youre out that way.

Hands Down Best North County Salt Water Pet Store.

Great selection, extremely knowledgeable and helpful service by staff.

Absolutely a great place.

Place is small and very expensive compared to the other places

Great local fish and coral store, employees are knowledgeable and attentive. I am very happy with the quality of the fish and coral I have purchased from them.
