So, I've been going to Aquatica for about three years now as a fresh water enthusitist…read more I've always wanted to set up a salt water tank but,had always heard it was really hard to maintain one. When asking Mario he told me me it wasn't that hard. So I decided to go for it. Mario not only advised me, he designed the tank & stand and put the entire filtration unit underneath the stand for me. It's quite impressive but, wait it gets better! He himself and his guy Brandon came out after closing his store and set up my tank for me, bringing the live rock, corals & fish. Mario and Brandon were here until almost midnight. They went above and beyond. You don't find many store owners that will do what he did! I want to say to Mario, Thank you! It's very rare to find a business owner these days who takes the time to make each customer feel, like you truly care and appreciate their business! You have an old world ethic that you can't find in most businesses in this day and age! Aquatica, Mario and his staff are amazing! Sherri S.

I have an aquarium with two canister filters. I submitted a request for a quote from this company…read moreand David who I assume is the owner called me right back. Rather than just emailing me and letting me know that they only service aquariums with fish or sending me an email saying that they do not offer this service, he went out of his way to personally call me to be condescending and rude. In my submission I explained that it was a turtle aquarium, the rest of the tank was clean, I just needed someone to clean the canister filters which have an algae/bacterial bloom. (This is an easy job that I've never paid anyone to do for me in my 15+ years of being an aquarium owner) He calls me, asks me what I'm looking for (even though it's clearly stated in my submission form). I tell him again what I want. He says he doesn't work with turtle aquariums. I asked "How is this different than cleaning a fish aquarium?" (since it's literally the same canister filters you use on a fish aquarium) feeling a little exasperated at this point, not understanding the difference between my canister filters and a fish tank's canister filters (for aquarium people reading this I have a fluval f4 and an Oase canister filter-like literally the exact same brands you use for fish). Why did he even call me if he didn't do the service? He says very condescendingly that "because it's really disgusting and -that's why you don't want to do it.," in a super rude tone of voice. I don't know if it's because I'm a woman, or if he felt like lecturing someone who doesn't take good care of their tank, who knows, doesn't matter I guess. The reason I haven't been able to clean my two filters is that my mother just died from leukemia and from December until her funeral which was two weeks ago I was one of her main caretakers. So yeah, my personal drama is totally not this guy's problem, whatever. But why go out of your way to be rude to a person when you could literally have just not answered or sent a quick email to say no? My aquarium is really nice and I take great care of it. I'm literally just too busy right now (and obviously dealing with some serious personal stuff). I needed someone who knows how to clean a canister filter. Idk seems pretty straightforward to me. I was mad and sad "no it's because my mom had cancer, I don't want to work with you." and I hung up. Not a great response from me either, I admit it, but like wtf. I would literally pay someone like $200 for this super easy, straightforward service just because I need the help very much right now. Even though my filters are quite dirty which I mentioned in the submission form, they work fine, I take good care of them. Should be an easy job, it's something I typically do myself very often (even as a woman- I know it's hard to believe but we can do things too). Like, why? I literally just asked for a quote. Why go out of your way to be rude to someone? I'm guessing it's because I'm a woman? Maybe because I live in the city? I don't know what this guy's problem was. I would avoid this guy unless you like being talked down to by a condescending possible misogynist. Again, yeah I understand that my personal circumstances have nothing to do with this man and I'm EXTRA sensitive right now. I guess my point is you never know what people are going through so (especially as a business owner lol) just be nice or just don't bother interacting at all.
