Plus the tank has a leak he could not seem to fix and now has ran from backing his product! I will be going after him in small claims court. It's not ok for Dan to take payment and not fulfill what was agreed to in writing. We are talking about more than $1600 in just lights that he did not deliver on and now won't answer calls. I've never gone on yelp until today and that is because I want people to know the truth of how greedy and unprofessional Dan Calvo is and his company Little Oceans! See you in court Dan!!!! PS I have the truth, your invoice and much more to present to a judge and the court system.

I have used Little Oceans expertise for several years with mixed results. I've had previous bad…read moreexperiences, which included a broken aquarium, which was replaced, and today's visit has left me very upset. Today the filter was to be replaced and Dan was apparently missing one or two of the pieces to finish the job correctly. He rigged the aquarium with extra pieces, as he was missing a clamp, and the aquarium was running so loud that one could not even be in the same room. It sounded like it was about to blow up! After conferring with Dan via text I told him I was going to just shut the filter off because the entire filter and the tubing and pipes were shaking and vibrating and water was spreading out the back of the aquarium and has response was, " okay I'll come back tomorrow." 5 minutes later there's 30 gallons of water on my floor! When I called him immediately to set up him to come back as an emergency his response was basically that he doesn't want to deal with it... It is not his fault ...he's not coming back.. he's not going to take any accountability for what happened even though he has just installed the filter and added the extra pipes which created the back wash of water which led to the leak. He also said it was okay to turn it off when I wrote him about it. My issue is less about the water leaking than about his attitude and saying I'm not going to deal with it it's not my problem ..I did what I could do at that time so I have a serious issue. He now refuses to come out and fix the job that he himself started and has left me with a completely broken aquarium after just paying him another $130. So yes I'm very irritated and people need to think twice about employing him. Additionally he showed up an after 30 minutes of already being in my house told me he has an infectious illness, a fungal infection. Which is contagious from person to person. He also then proceeded to use my bathroom without permission and it already used it by the time I I knew so I would never have given permission for that, and all with an infectious disease which he should never have shown up with that already. So I resent being put in a situation where I could contract an issue and being left with 30 gallons of water on my floor and paying $150 for a filter that he didn't install correctly. Think twice before using this company please because they will not take any accountability and Dan is very rude unpleasant to deal with.

My girlfriend and I were visiting St. Pete and needed to kill some time. So I of course had to look…read moreup a local fish store as I always do. We found Aquatic Galleria and we were so glad we did. The store had such an amazing variety of healthy and unique fish. It was also very clean and had such a nice modern vibe to it. Throughout the store you could find amazing aquascapes. Our favorite was the huge discus tank. We sat on the couch and admired it for a good bit! We are just in town for a bit so we didn't buy any fish but if we were local you bet I would've bought half the livestock inventory. But they do ship! So we might end up getting something from them anyways! So many amazing cichlids. I'm a big fan of apistos and they had the best selection. We wanted to support the store and get something so we decided to get some art. Little did we know the art we picked out was actually drawn by Ann! Ann is the sister of the owner, and she was so nice and welcoming. Her art work is all around the store and are purchasable! My girlfriend and I agreed that this was one of the nicest fish stores we've been to.. and we've been to ALOT! 10/10 would recommend!

Some fish, quite a bit of tank equipment available for purchase, as well as a few items for non-aquatic animals if needed. The tank by the register had some amazing rare-er corals for fantastic prices- definitely a shop that knows what they have but also want people to enjoy them in their home tank and not just have frags sit in the show tank forever! Loved the guy that ended up helping us with our purchases, and he complimented my ability to pick a good head of coral, commenting that it was clearly close to splitting so it should do well for us (hehe! exactly why I picked that particular frag!). Excited to see what else they may have the next time we visit.... Probably with a better cooler in the car just in case!
