This store was built on the ashes of a failed aquarium shop. Ran by a man who has brought 4 other business to bankruptcy, I cant imagine how they could succeed. There pricing is far to high for the low overhead on this dark, hot, gloomy warehouse. There fish are not in the best health because of this, are very stressed and near death. The customer service is slack at best. The women running the shop is very hard to get help from because of her lack of salt water knowledge, and distraction of bringing her kids to work, pet dogs, and talking with friends on the phone and facebook none stop. The man seems like a terrorist to customers. You never seem to get a clear answer from him, and if asked an intelligent question, you will simply get your question recited back to you. He is not honest, and should not be trusted. They will be very pushy to get you to buy whatever they can because they are depended on any customer that still walks in, just to stay open one more day. The overall work performance and shop quality is very poor. There are much better shops with very beautiful displays and helpful service out there. I really gave these guys a strong chance, and was very upset to make the necessary choice to no longer deal with this place in any way, and hopefully prevent any more good people from going threw the same thing. Good luck with your aquarium shop hunt, but this one is not it.

If you are a true Saltwater hobbyist, then you know this place is full of misleading hooplah. If you ask a question, they will certainly steer you in the direction they want you to go. Try it, I did. I asked a question I knew the answer to after being suspicious of a previous question Id asked, and they told me exactly what Id tell me if I were only after my customers money and not the well being of their aquariums and creatures. The tanks are filthy compared to every other saltwater store in metro atlanta, they have fish they shouldnt be selling. They will sell you fish that you shouldnt have in your tank with fish x, y and z without hesitation. Go elsewhere for quality of product, service and everything else.

This is a below average store while the prices seemed reasonable and the staff was helpful... BUT the fish tanks were some of the dirtiest and poorest light Ive ever seen. This may explain why several of the fish seemed very stressed. For this reason alone I personally would not buy any of there fish. Lastly, their coral displays were poorly labeled and hard to identify pricing due to top down viewing only, i.e. non-glass and non-acrylic tanks. I need to see the sides of corals before I place them in a display tank. Maybe this is why I saw several signs reminding people to keep hands out of the tanks.

I go almost every week just to see all the new fish and other item they get in. It is great to see a warehouse type environment of fish and products where you can take hours to shop at your leisure. Great informative staff and willing to help and talk about any problems and or great things going on with your tank. You dont have the Store Shopping Center rent prices and every fish I have purchased already from them and that is many has made a great home in my reef. I even had a fish that was not reef safe and they helped me find it a home. You must go and see, you will be amazed! Richard

Awesome!!!! I havent seen a place this large with the healthiest fish and coral in the ATL area. Prices were very very good and they always have specials. Warehouse Aquarium is for any professional or hobbyist. Porter helped me with every question that I had and frankly gave me more info then I needed to know or could understand. He should be a biologist or professor somewhere!! lol The only down statement that I would say would that they need to do some work with their webpage and Facebook page. Not enough info on livestock and prices. All and all, I will be returning for every aquarium need.

I found friendly, knowledgeable service at this store. Large selection, warehouse style displays. Ive been to all the local tropical fish store in the Atlanta area. These folks are easy to deal with and have never pushed me into anything I couldnt handle. Theyve actually steered me away from numerous purchases once they understood my setup. Have used their in home maintenance program recently and was very pleased.

The people working there did seem nice and possibly know what they are doing. The tanks are pretty dirty and the lighting is bad. But I dont know much about saltwater or anything. But it was also sort of hard to read the types and prices of the fish. It is a saltwater only store and have plenty of equipment. For Tue tanks.
