### BEWARE ### I hired this company to service my tank yesterday and when I got home, the top brace…read morewas floating in my tank. The service tech said, "that wasn't like that," yet he had just serviced this pristine tank 30 min prior. He called his boss and told them my tank was in amazing shape and that all silicone was in great shape as well (I have a recording of that). I also have him saying that he couldn't fix it right then and there bc he's in salary (but thought it was ok to leave my brace hanging in the water). He said he or someone else would be by to fix it in the morning. I received a text from the boss man saying that if I wanted it fixed, they'd charge me a repair fee AND I had to buy the silicone. Great CS, right? NOT!!! I expressed my dissatisfaction and he then just quit writing - yet charged my CC for the full amount next day. A $30 dollar fix will cost them 100's if not 1,000's in negative PR.

As I'm finally getting back into the hobby and venturing into reefs for the first time, I've been…read moredriving around visiting LFSs. I'm lucky to have Oceanlife not too far from me. This is a smaller LFS that focuses on saltwater/reef tanks. They have quite a few frag tanks with various softies, LPS, and SPS corals that all seem healthy and fairly priced. The staff has always been super patient and helpful when I have questions or when I just want to browse. They've been nice about letting me be particular when choosing specific fish/inverts/corals. They're also very knowledgeable and helpful, especially as I'm still new to this side of the hobby. It seems like Oceanlife is a staple among reef keepers in the area and they've definitely built relationships with folks. People get greeted by first name and seem to be able to special order things as well. All around, it seems like what you look for in a LFS!

I can't say enough good things about this place! I recently got my first 10 gallon reef tank and…read morethese guys test my water every 3 days to make sure it's ready to go before allowing me to purchase anything. Even with the new adjusted hours I unknowingly came in a minute before closing and to my surprise, Nick still took the time to patiently test my water thoroughly and refused to sell me any fish or corals because my water still wasn't ready. Fast forward a couple weeks later and my water is finally ready and they will be seeing a lot of me! What attracted me to this place is that the store is super clean and the prices are generally better than any other marine-life store in the Houston area. The staff is always super friendly, professional and knowledgeable which I am so thankful for as an aquarium novice such as myself. If you're looking for anything saltwater tank related- ocean life should be one of your top choices!!

Not sure what was going on, but it could have been a problem with the new fish, as none of my fish got sick. I will likely still get fish there as they have a great selection, but will definitely quarantine them first, and may treat them prophylactically. Which may not be a bad idea wherever you get your fish from.

Mr. Wright gave me an estimate over the phone that I thought was much higher than normal almost $600 for just cleaning when I asked him about the charges. He became very upset and stated if you don't like the price you can call somebody else. Normally, I would hang up the phone and call somebody else but because I was extremely busy and my wife was out of town I made the appointment The middle aged lady who came out to clean the first tank, was very soft spoken, had a lot of knowledge of fish and water, I had made a comment about how the owner spoke to me, and she had stated that this was not the first complaint and that the owner is extremely arrogant who walks around with a chip on his shoulder". But he writes her checks so she just looks the other way." How very sad to live in a world like that, I thought it was important to share with you people who the owner really is She did a great job, but I will not be calling this company again.
