Clear Water Aquarium

I have been to clear water many times. They are always the most knowledgeable and kind group. My kids love to come with me and it can be difficult in small stores. Ed and his team have never made this an issue. He has personally showed the kids unique fish and taught them about their biology and habits. If you want a store that won’t bull S you to buy a high end fish. These are the guys. If your in this hobby Clearwater is a must go stop.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff, they can get busy at times especially on weekends and early evening. So nice they test water for you if you don't have any test kit. I think it's a great place if you have kids and they have an opportunity to learn more about Ichthyology too. They really have a good stocking of plants and fish, and they also can do full setup without you having to do anything, if that's to your preference. Overall, because they are very close to where I live and feel better about supporting a small business than a large box store or online one.

Every time I’ve been in Eric is helping at least 3 groups by himself while this may just be a coincidence, three times makes a pattern. While with Eric service is friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve been coming in because of how helpful and understanding Eric is. Unfortunately due to issues with loosing ~10 fish purchased in about from this location in about a month while water and care parameters are confirmed to be within spec by Eric himself has made me question the quality of their supply. For now I will stop buying livestock from this location and see if I have any better luck from other vendors.

i wish i had known about this aquarium earlier! the man running the shop (what's his name?) had a great personality and showed us around the shop. it was a very informative experience and fun learning about all the fish.

Absolutely LOVE this place. We are not big-box store people, my wife/daughter/I want to be able to ask questions? Joel is absolutely spectacular, very mellow and really knowledgable. We went in, he spent a whole hour the first time just walking us through all the different tanks, fish, and processes for a salt-water aquarium. He ultimately sent us home with research to watch, before making an investment. The next day, we decided to go for it, he was there walking us through everything we needed. It's the kind of personal service you need when you're starting such an expensive hobby. We went into the big-box store just to check it out, it was super clean and plenty of sales people buzzing around, ultimate they scared us silly with talk of killing all the fish, toxins, over-priced solutions and a bunch of other nonsense. We went straight to Joel and received calm, clear guidance and left feeling totally relieved.
