My reef tank journey has been up, down, and sometimes sideways. TSM Aquatics have always been by myside in this roller coaster ride of reefing. Ive know Rob and Josh for almost 3+ years now, back at the old location. One thing I could say about these guys, they treat you like family. Any reefing problem they will try and answer and suggest solution to help you succeed in this hobby. They are knowledgeable on keeping corals and making sure that your hobby thrive. When it comes to coral selections and availabilities they have tons of varieties to select from. Popping color, healthy and thriving colonies, not to mention their price is very competitive. I might not visit the store as often as I’d like to, but I know that TSM will always be the place I go back.
Give these guys a visit and you wont be sorry you did!
Few photos I took of corals I got from these guys… the hairy mushroom is my very first coral I got from them and they are still happy and multiplying (faster than I would ...
Read moreHoly smokes! This store immediately jumped to the #1 spot in my book of stores that provide salt water fish, corals and invertebrates.
In terms of pricing some of the fish may be a bit more expensive but it's due to their extensive quarantining process which is like an insurance policy. I'd much rather pay for that upfront versus finding out the fish I bought was sick. I also love just buying the fish and throwing it in my tank with the ease of mind that it's a healthy fish. No one gets into this hobby because it's cheap.
Rob & Josh did an amazing job at explaining all of the fish and coral to me and really taking their time. They helped with the perfect selection of fish, coral, and inverts that would fit the theme of my tank. I'm beyond pleased with the service and selection. I also love supporting the local stores so that I can personally do the shopping versus always having to order online.

Read moreThis isn’t my local fish store, but it is THE fish store. Even though it’s a 70 minute drive, totally worth the time to get top quality saltwater fish and corals.
I have a thing for shrimp and other inverts, and they don’t have a great selection of those, but more than made up for with the billion different corals on display and the literal hundreds of species of fish for sale.
Nobody warranties saltwater fish, and at easily $100+ for a yellow tang, for instance, I’ve been very wary of buying fish from the other regional fish stores, since they very, very often have parasites or otherwise just up and die soon after getting them home. I can say for sure that everything I’ve gotten from TSM is still alive and well! I even got a Convict Tang from them, which are notorious for not eating due to internal parasites, and it’s a...
