The first month was ok by month 6 Matt did a water change and introduced ick into my tank and killed all my fish but one and then tried to sell me more instead of replacing them. I read online that as long as you take all the fish out of your tank for 6 weeks ick will die out of your tank. I didn't need Matt for that six week period, I took my water weekly to Rivers to Reefs to get it tested and they even showehow to test my self,and my water conditions were perfect. My coral was thriving beautiful. I was a loyal customer to Matt and it was about time for a water change and I called Matt he came to my house looking high and changed my water and left everything dead. When I called him about it he said he could have been that my nitrates were to high, but when I told him I had the water tested just days before and the water conditions were perfect he said he may have put in fresh water but he was not going to replace any coral or any fish and if I want to get my money back I should I have my lawyer call him. I'm in the process of taking him to court now but the guy is a real loser, buying fish or coral from him or having him do you water changes is VERY HIGH RISK Updated this review in response to the scum bag store owner he never tried to mend the relationship, a law suit would never be involved if he just replaced everything he killed in my tank. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE of doing business with Matt if you value your aquarium, I think he will kill everything in your tank, my tank was maintained by Matt and the picture you see is his REAL WORK. For aquariums Matt is dangerous!! VERY HIGH RISK Proceed with caution!!!!

But if you like your hobbies to mix elbow grease, biology and a bit of chemistry you might enjoy it. If you do, you'll end up at Salty Critter since they are the best store in town. I went here when I was first starting out. Dan, the owner, took a good amount of time going through everything I would need and what to expect. I even took notes, them compared them to some online research. His suggestions were spot-on...no pushing his own stock for the sake of a sale. Everyone there has been helpful during every return visit (and there have been many). My only complaint is long delayed web presence for the store. Vermilion isn't close and I'd like to know what available. Nothing worse than driving 45 minutes to find out that tomorrow is a big shipment with tons of cool stuff. That quibble aside, if you're just getting into the hobby or experienced but haven't been willing to make the trip out (I'm talking to you, eastsiders) --- take the plunge. It's worth it.
