  Let me first with how long I had been going to this store - roughly 4-5 years. On top of that I have been collecting fish for another 7 years. Most of the people that enter this store are beginners in the aquarium trade and are amazed by the layout the second they walk in. That's all well and good, but to be honest the tanks are kept in miserable condition. The saltwater tanks is where I'll start; Overpriced corals that can be bought elsewhere for half the price, bubble algae covering everything, sick/dead fish floating in the water, extra large corals that should have been fragged weeks ago, pest aiptasia on every rock, and BLEACHED corals being sold to novices in the hobby because their white appearances are more appealing. Anyone in the hobby know's that the bleached anemone being sold to someone is going to die in 3-4 weeks and ruin that person's tank. Save yourself the time and drive a few miles up the road and go to Petco on 202 in Bridgewater or another 30 minutes and go to Ocean Gallery 22. The reason I would go to this store is because it was close by and there are no other local fish stores really. One day I decided to bring an anemone I no longer wanted in my tank (clownfish chose not to host, ended up being more harm than good) thinking that I would try to strike a bargain and get a frag in exchange. When I showed it to the owner, he legitimately laughed in my face and said "There's no way I'd trade, I'm here to make money." I go in this store at least once a week just to see what he has and have been purchasing his overpriced corals for years - needless to say he won't be ripping me off any longer. The owner of this store is arrogant, egotistic, and rude. His attitude is the exact opposite of what you want in a business model. Because of the way he has treated me (and my father on many other circumstances) we will never go back.
