First of all, it was open (hours are til 7 pm), open to the public (prior "appointment only" claims were for when they did individual aquarium services only), and had a great selection of freshwater fish and plants. Ashley went above and beyond - she was super patient with us beginners in the field (and our two very excited and vocal children), gave us great advice (advising us to buy a couple of things down the road vs now), offered to order our preferred fish types, and even told us about another store that had some specific hard scape we'd been looking for. Well done, Artistic Aquariums and Ashley. We'll be coming back.

I had a very disappointing experience with this business. The customer service was not what I…read moreexpected, and communication throughout the process felt unprofessional. In my experience, the owner did not handle concerns in a respectful or constructive way. I also had issues with the stated 14-day return policy -- it was not honored in my case, which added to the frustration and made the situation feel unfair. Overall, the experience was stressful rather than positive. Based on what I went through, I would not recommend this business and would advise others to be very clear about expectations before committing to anything.

Justin and Bobby have been, hands down the most consistently professional, easiest to work with, available for emergencies, and overall most technically competent of all aquarium retailers and service providers in the greater Phoenix Area. I have been keeping reef aquaria for over 50 years, since the days of dolomite and undergravel filters, when the concept was a novelty. I am particular, I know a bit, and I need a crew that can match wits with me to figure out the more challenging stuff to partner with me. The Justin-Bobby Team matches my needs, is patient with my sometimes old-school thinking, and always is keen to make sure I am satisfied. They are as interested in the success of my reef as I am!! I cannot give Aquatic Innovations a recommendation too high. If you are struggling with your salt aquarium and you still haven't contacted Justin, then its your own damn fault...
