This is truly a hidden gem! I'm always searching around for new aquarium stores to visit and I…read morestumbled upon this amazing place today. I had just finished my shift at work nearby and wondered if there were any good saltwater stores nearby. I searched on Yelp and found this place. The store is run in a townhome and the only way you would know about it is by word of mouth or looking online, so it truly is a hidden gem ;). Jason was fantastic! He has a nice little setup that has one of the most amazing collection of corals I've seen in a compact space. If you're an sps guy like me, then this is the place to go to. He also has a nice variety of lps and softies. All of the corals are in great health and are thriving. I bought with confidence! Jason also has amazing prices on his selection of livestock and dry goods so it really is hard to complain about anything. He was really accommodating on my visit and made sure to answer any questions I had. If there is something that isn't there and you would like to get your hands on, just let him know and he will get it for you. I can't believe I drove by this place so many times without taking the time to drop by. I'm really glad I found this place as I will be back very soon for another splurge! It is hard to leave this place without wanting to buy something! Thanks Jason! Edit: also a tip, it would be a good idea to give him a call before arriving to see if he is available to open shop as he is in and out of shop sometimes.

I have never been in a fish store before that had every single tank kept with substrate and plants (freshwater) as you would keep them at home. Every tank looked wonderful. We don't have saltwater, only fresh- but their salt water tanks were wonderful, too. Dylan was really helpful. We had stopped by driving back from Cambria to LA and picked up two female electric blue rams. They had been quarantined in the shop already for 3 weeks and looked great. We got those, some Java moss, some feeder snails for our Congo puffer and some frozen bloodworms. A really great store- probably the best one we've been to outside of LA, and ranking at the top of any we've visited in SoCal.

We had an outstanding experience at Bermuda Aquatics thanks to Dylan! As complete beginners setting…read moreup our first 13-gallon nano reef tank, we had a lot of questions, and Dylan took the time to walk us through everything with incredible patience, knowledge, and honesty. He helped us choose the perfect cleanup crew and guided us in finding our beautiful bonded pair of mocha clownfish. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making sure we were set up for success rather than just making a sale. His passion for the hobby and willingness to share his expertise made the entire experience enjoyable and gave us the confidence to get started the right way. If you're new to saltwater aquariums or even an experienced reefer, we highly recommend asking for Dylan. We'll definitely be back for future additions to our reef tank. Thank you for making our first reef tank experience such a great one!

He called on 11 July and stated he had been in an accident earlier in the week and asked to reschedule for 19 July. I agreed. Today is 19 July. I have sent him multiple texts and left a voicemail asking for the time he is arriving. No response. This level of unreliability is unacceptable. I will not use him again.

He is always attentive, patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable! He takes the time to educate us, answer all of our questions, and explain things in a way that actually makes sense, without ever making us feel like we should already know the answers. Carlos is truly a huge asset to the Extreme Marine team, and his dedication to his customers really stands out. We're grateful to have someone like him to turn to as we continue learning and growing in this hobby. Thank you, Carlos, for always being so patient, educational, and kind.
