This store has a great selection of used equipment and is worth stopping in often as the inventory of used stuff changes on a regular basis.
The live stock selection is also pretty good. They will often have some of the more exotic and and hard to find fish. Coral frag selection is about what would expect, but the pricing is pretty good and I have seen larger colonies at good pricing.
Chris over at Discount Aquarium is an awesome guy who really knows his stuff! As the other reviewer mentioned, this is a great place for used equipment at an incredible price. They will also make sumps and if you need something, will go out of their way to help you get it.
Recently remodeled, they substantially increased their total tank space, and get new shipments in weekly.
If I have one minor complaint, it is they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays, which happen to usually be my days off. As not everyone shares that, I certainly cannot fault them for that.
I went to this store in December 2014 to get a few things to set up my 14G nano. It had been 15 years since I had my last reef and a lot has changed since then.. The guy with the beard and pony tail was extremely helpful. Instead of trying to sell me stuff I don’t need, he actually took some live sand out of one his displays as well as 10G water from his display reef and charged me very little. He also had the foam pad, protein skimmer and a chemical I needed in stock. I picked up 5lbs. of live rock also and was allowed to sift through the rock tank to get what pieces I wanted.
Nice to see small businesses like this hustle. Every employee was moving around with a sense of urgency, yet the ambiance was super laid back.
The guy also let me borrow two 5 gallon buckets…this really saved me a lot of time.
I live in Anthem and have not yet had a chance to see the new store. Look forward to paying a visit soon.
Fantastic service and prices. They know what they’re doing and got me going from scratch.
Nice new store with great discount prices
Built me a sump that ruined my tank.
This review is not accurate. We are the go to shop in the valley for sumps and build over a dozen each month for satisfied customers.
