  • J Pitts

The staff, fish and products here are all top notch. I have only been in the saltwater aquarium / reef hobby for about 9 months but I don't think I would be where I am in the hobby without the expertise of the staff here. I have had good luck with the fish/coral and other sea creatures purchased here. Highly recommend.

  • Wes McDowell

What an amazing place... been in twice now and everyone is really helpful, always there to help you through the process. We’re putting together a nano reef tank and Brian really took the time to make sure we knew what to do and had everything we needed. Our née clowns and corals are doing great!

  • Miguel Fernandez

They have a surprisingly large selection of fish! Their specialty is coral and their prices are very reasonable compared to other places. For such a tiny shop I left very impressed. They also sell fish tanks, tank cleaners and everything you need to keep your aquarium operating smoothly

  • David L

These guys actually quarantine fish before they sell them to you. This means the probability of getting a parasite or a non-eater is tremendously lowered. They also know what they're doing at this store. Great place highly recommend and prices are as low as buying online with huge risk.

  • Bryan Oser

Easily and hands down the best specialty aquarium store with awesome selection of salt water and fresh water fish. We picked up a beautiful Honey gourami and zebra Tetras. The fish are well maintained with lots of space for them. They recently moved and added more capacity.

a place I've been meaning to tour for years. Worth every inch of the trip from the far North and no problem finding parking. Excellent selection for every level of hobbyist and very competitive pricing, especially for the location. Two fins up. Tanks guys!

  • Bobby Schmidt

I would like to thank Ian for all the help on the sump system that I got. He was very informative and had lots of knowledge and helped me out better understand what I needed. Also I really love the store beautiful well kept fish and amazing prices.

I’m new to the salt water tank hobby and the guys at Tank It Easy have been such a great help on getting me everything I need. Every time I’ve been in the store, they’ve been willing to take the time to explain all the necessities and tips

Kyle quickly responded to my question regarding Orphek OR3s LED bars on a reef group, he provided a lot or useful information regarding the product and other important lighting information as well. Before I knew it my new lights were at my

  • Jen Smith

This place is AWESOME!!! The customer service that I received from both Kyle and Connor was exceptional! I will not be going anywhere else for my saltwater needs. They are very knowledgeable and are not just trying to make a quick buck off

  • Dominic Pernai

Everyone at tank it easy is incredibly helpful. I have purchased fish, coral and invertebrates, and they are always healthy. And their recommendations are always spot on. I also ran into a situation where my tank cracked, and I had nowhere

  • Tony Romanik

Can’t begin to tell you how incredible Tank it Easy is. We have a 350 reef tank that’s almost 10 months old. Brand new tank which is new to the US. And we probably got in over our heads. Put in an Apex System with Trident and really had no

  • Kathleen Malloy

I had a great experience shopping for corals here. Connor gave me the grand tour of their facility and coral farm and I was very impressed. Beautiful corals, very healthy looking and a nice selection to choose from. Victor safely packaged

  • Miche Thomas

VERY clean and well laid out store. Some livestock prices were a little on the high side while others were cheaper than other places in the area, so I can't complain about that. I wouldn't buy my RO/DI water here, as they're twice as much

  • Jake Kuntz

I'm just getting into the hobby and I started with freshwater. Everything on their website screams salt but I decided to check them out anyway. As I should have anticipated, their freshwater offerings were definitely second fiddle to the

I was moving to a new place and was a little anxious about shutting down my old tank. But Tom and Connor did a great job. They were very professional getting all my livestock, corals and live rock into the new tank with no loss and great

  • Paul Guerino

This place is beautiful, even of to just walk around and look at the fish. Their freshwater fish supply is limited but they have so many different salt water varieties of coral, fish, crab, and other creatures. Can't wait to go back!

  • Eva Paetsch

Kyle was amazing! We appreciated all of his assistance in setting up the chiller for our axolotl tank. We visited their store and purchased a chiller last year and when we needed help this year, they walked us through the process.

I've been coming here as my preferred shop from the city for six months and dealt with half a dozen different staff members. Every single one knows what they are talking about, the level of knowledge and experience is unmatched.

Beautiful store and very attractive tanks and store design. Not a large selection would be the only drawback but the service and personnel were great and coral prices are very competitive. Had a great overall experience!!

Had the distinct pleasure of working with both Tom & Brian who made a recent business transaction a real Ease. Highly recommend these guys as there are a couple of straight shooters. Tanks!

The livestock here is stunning, store is clean and modern, staff is very friendly and engaging... But the prices are crazy low. It's like online prices but without the shipping costs.
