Creation of the Sea, LLC

The company installed an "all-in-one" 350-gallon reef aquarium for my home. Tank is beautiful, and really helped me get through some tough times during the COVID pandemic. Their aquariums are very therapeutic. Highly recommend.

Creation of the Sea installed a 250-gallon saltwater reef tank in my store. I always receive great compliments from my customers about the tank! The aquarium has been up and running for a few years now. Aquarium looks amazing!

The company installed and maintains a 500-gallon custom tank in my home, and can't keep my eyes off of it. Best investment I've ever made for my home!

We have a 110 gallon reef habitat aquarium which Creation of the Sea installed about a year ago. Lou, the owner, is an expert in all aspects of aquariums. He has created a tank that is of show quality, simply stunning! The tank is all natural and very, very quiet. There is a lovely balance of color and a good variety of coral, fish, live rock, inverts, and plants. We purchased lighting which simulates the dawn/dusk/clouds/sun/lightning that is critical in replicating sea conditions. Just when we think the tank couldn’t get any better, Lou tweaks it with a new addition. Service is biweekly and pricing is very reasonable. Cost and options for a new tank are very good. Lou helps design the tank with your input. There is a selection of custom cabinetry which I chose to do and highly recommend and the choice of an acrylic tank versus glass tank. My guests are always in awe of this beautiful living “picture” in my office!

We attempted a natural fish tank with Lou. He appeared experienced and friendly. Our results with him differed from others. Beware that if you run the risk of spending money with this guy, it’s a complete gamble. He maintained a stable tank for about three months, after which we encountered a disastrous algae bloom. He panicked, conducting multiple, large (50%) water changes that worsened the problem even further. He allowed us to purchase a naso tang from him, which proceeded to kill every living creature in the tank. It even started to pick at our already dying coral (they all suffered and died from the crazy water changes). He even had trouble programming the expensive, reputable lighting kit that is very popular. Months into this experience, he threw his hands up and asked for all of the usual maintenance payments, which we unfortunately had to pay due to there being no contingency clauses in our contract. He even asked for our live rock (not man-made, mind you, unsustainably taken from the ocean where reefs are dying now bc of people like him), the last remaining shrimp, and everything else in the tank outside of lighting, a heater, and a pump. We have had multiple fish tank vendors and companies shake their head in disgust at this story and the work from him that we’ve shown them. Our tank is now on its way to a beautiful finale, but not after a serious battle. If you wish to run the risk of doing business with this company, you should be aware that you’re gambling your money, and if anything goes wrong outside his short span of control, you’ll be truly sorry.
