This little gem packs a big punch! Although they are just getting their feet wet (pun totally intended), this shop has a lot of good things going for it. First of all, they have a well rounded collection of corals at beyond reasonable prices, especially when compared to other Cleveland stores. The specimens were all healthy looking and the setups were very clean and all items were clearly labeled!
The marine fish selection was limited, but it would appear that all of the fish are put through a QT system!!! All of the fish-geeks out there know just how valuable this step is! I was astounded when I saw the QT room. I am certain that they will be adding to their collection soon, and I am really excited to take advantage of their proactive health measures as soon as I am ready to get my next finned friend.
The dry stock was pretty basic at this time, but mind you they just opened and they might have had more hidden. They had the bulbs I was looking for, which is a good sign that they are definitely heading in the right direction with their inventory choices!
After perusing the shop I decided to inquire about their maintenance offerings, and was beyond elated to find out that their service rates are awesomely affordable and very thorough ... so I hired them! they came tonight and I will proudly report that they really nailed it. Joel was efficient, timely, and very knowledgeable. He took detailed notes after testing my system and created a course-of-action that works within my budget and time frame.
I am looking forward to watching this store grow and changing this review to a 5 star!
