I hired Aquatic Marine to install and setup a tank in my home and was promised "magazine quality"…read more Nearly a year later, we weren't close. I became frustrated with the tank when there was no end in sight, the work was chaotic, scheduling was near impossible, and I discovered that even after paying for routine maintenance none of my equipment had been properly maintained. I decided it would be easier to just start over with a smaller tank, so I gifted my larger tank to the owner, Kinny Parrott, and purchased a much smaller tank that I thought would be easier for them to actually finish and gave them a chance to live up to what they had promised. He and his service manager agreed with no hesitation to store my equipment and livestock until the new tank was cycled and ready to be setup. Instead, they misplaced half my livestock and his service manager came by one evening without any notice and dropped the rest of my fish into the tank before it was cycled and my gem tang and yellow tang both ended up dying. I sought out help from the store to try and save the rest of my fish, and an hour later, received a call from Kinny stating he was firing me because I was bad-mouthing him to his employees which was not the case. He lacks professional courtesy and the skills to deal with any sort of conflict and is one-sided in his beliefs. His communication style is quite aggressive and dismissive, which makes it hard to have an open and honest conversation with him. He proceeded to yell at me and told me that they would not be doing my install anymore and he was not going to return any of my equipment. He threatened us with attorneys and blamed me for being "too hands on with my tank" and said I had unrealistic expectations. He yelled at me on 2 different occasions using me as a scapegoat for both his personal and business issues and never offered an apology for unleashing on me. For months, he had told me that his service manager was overloaded, overworked, and on the verge of burnout and promised changes that never came. When our relationship ended, I was left feeling like their internal problems were passed onto me and I was fired as a result. When I got upset over being fired for no reason and him holding my equipment hostage, I got mad and Kinny proceeded to tell my wife that I must be bipolar. He finally agreed to return a fraction of my equipment after a battle, and several parts were still missing. He still has thousands of dollars worth of my equipment in his possession not including the tank. After gifting him a new tank, purchasing another tank without asking for any sort of discount, and spending thousands of dollars at his store, I was left feeling incredibly taken advantage of. I could go on and on about the customer service, problems that occurred during our time together, and retracted promises, but am hopeful that this brief glimpse into my experience will help prevent someone else from being lied to and taken advantage of. I had been warned about getting involved with Aquatic Marine, and looking back, I wish I had heeded the advice.

WARNING! Do *NOT* buy anything from this business! You will regret doing so! I was a long time…read morecustomer. I had spent at least $1,000 on various aquatic animals, and the owner knew me very well. I was a frequent visitor. I asked if he had any African Dwarf Frogs for sale, so he took me to the back room and sold me 2 of them. They grew larger, and larger, and I knew something wasn't right. After doing research online I found out that he had NOT sold me the Dwarf frogs I asked for. Instead, he sold me a somewhat similar species called the African CLAWED Frog. This animal is an invasive species and illegal in many states! It doesn't live for 5 years like the dwarf frogs. It lives for THIRTY years. It also grows tremendously huge, and will eat EVERY FISH IN YOUR AQUARIUM! I started noticing my fish disappearing, but had no idea how, until I actually saw it eat a fully adult fish that was at least 3 inches long...nearly 3/4 the length of the frog itself. I took the frog back to him and very nicely explained that he had sold me a terrible species of frog, assuming he just made an honest mistake. As it turns out, he knew exactly what it was and knew that it would eat all the fish in my aquarium. He even suggested that I release this invasive species into the wild! When I pointed out that you can NOT do that, he just shrugged it off. He refused to replace the frog, or any of the 30 or so fish that the frog had eaten. He refused to even give me a small store credit as a token gesture, and actually tried to blame it on me!!! If you care at all about your aquarium and the anal life in it, you will NOT buy from this man, because he obviously doesn't care about it, nor does he care about very loyal customers who have spent mountains of money at his store. I am now out $1,000, and have a nearly empty aquarium due to his complete lack f caring. I have reported him to the Tennessee Invasive Species Control office, and with any luck, they will shut him down to keep this from happening to someone else, and also to protect the wonderful biodiversity our great area has to offer. PLEASE take this warning to heart. We don't need someone coming into our area who cares nothing about its people, or our wildlife. This type of person should not be allowed to own a business anywhere.
