    Clown fish and starter 4ga aquarium with hardscape
    Stephen C.

    This was long overdue but what a hidden gem in the east bay! GIO Marine and owner Manish are very passionate about salt water marine life. He definitely saved the day and made me look like a hero to my family when I surprised my son with a clown fish and fully setup water aquarium. My kids were serious about owning a clown fish after bugging me for 2 years straight (thank you Finding Nemo). Tried to find a pet store that would give me an ounce of attention and guidance for newbies is pretty much non-existence. Manish on the other hand helped me over the course of 2 weeks from finding the right setup and training to ongoing support as we continue to grow our interest. He is as patient as can be and customer service knows no other. My boys always come with me to his store for supplies as they could stay there for hours watching the peaceful aquatic life of salt-water creatures (it truly is a nice setup!!)

    We just had to share some love for this amazing local aquarium shop!…read more We've gotten some of our favorite fish here--including our green phantom pleco, fire eel, Congo spotted puffer, and angels--and every visit has been such a great experience. The store is always beautiful, clean, and full of unique and hard-to-find fish. You can really tell how much care and passion goes into everything they do. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our (many!) questions and help guide us in the right direction. It makes such a difference, especially when you're new into the hobby! Lastly, as a mom, I have to add one of my favorite touches: every time we come in, they give my son fish stickers, and he looks forward to it just as much as seeing the fish. It's those little things that make this place extra special. Highly recommend stopping by if you're into aquariums--you won't be disappointed

    This place is a revelation. NB: I am a freshwater aquarist so I can't speak to the salt water…read moreportion. The selection is incredible. The store is gorgeous, if I lived closer I'd probably go just to enjoy the set ups. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and most importantly, really care about the fish. The fact that, despite several profound temptations, I walked out with only decor and not fish is a testament to their integrity. Long story short, what I wanted to get would eat my shrimp and they made sure I understood that. Could have easily sold me those fish.

    Went in on a Friday afternoon to purchase fresh water plants, I bought 4 different species of…read moreplants, one in particular being "FOXTAIL". The very next day ALL the leafs of that specific species fell off! The other plants were fine , I then called Saturday the very next day to ask about either an exchange or a refund and I spoke to a representative named Mike whose immediate response was "no! there's something wrong with your tank" / "all sales are final" Mike offered no help or tips or nothing just simply blame my tank, which already has shrimp and fish and other vegetation that is doing just fine........ Definitely do not recommend buying from here unless you know for a fact, if something doesn't work out, you're screwed no refunds, exchanges, or any help. Bad bad business practice

    Aquatic Collection is a standout shop if you're serious about reefing. Every time I've been in, the…read morestaff has been extremely helpful, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable. They take the time to answer questions and make sure you're making the right decisions for your tank instead of just trying to sell you something. One thing that really sets them apart is the products they carry. They have items on hand that you don't typically see at other stores--for example, I was able to find a roller mat gearbox repair kit there, which is something most places don't even stock. That kind of attention to what reefers actually need goes a long way. Their coral selection is also on another level. They consistently have more unique pieces than just about anywhere else I've seen, which makes it a great place to find something different and add real character to your tank. One thing I really appreciate is that the owners are always there and involved. You can tell they genuinely care about the store, the livestock, and making sure customers have a good experience. Overall, it's a very well-run store with a strong mix of knowledge, customer service, and unique inventory. Definitely a go-to spot if you're looking for both hard-to-find equipment and standout corals.

    STOP, DON'T waste time looking for other aquarium services. You found the BEST one, I promise…read more Since this review will be long, thought I would emphasize on the point of my review from the beginning... instead of making you read through everything. Many businesses will help you buy a new tank... but have you ever tried to get rid of one? Not just any old fish tank but a giant one, where you could probably teach your kid to swim in it... We are talking about 400-gallon fish tank that was built way too DIY, extremely heavy, filled with livestock, ton of sand and rocks. If you are not into fish, this is easily 4,000 lbs... with many surprise attacks from the DIY "Offense Team". You really want someone who knows what they are doing... unless you want a mini flood of saltwater in your living room.. I contacted MANY businesses including junk removal but wasn't satisfied due to poor communications, lack of planning/professionalism. Thankfully, I read about Ocean Treasures Servicing on social media and did my research/stalking via FB, IG, and... reef forums and found only great things. The owner himself, Daniel, came down all the way from SF for a in person consultation then emailed me a meticulous thought-out plan on step by step of removing the giant tank. The Game Day - Daniel came with 3 team members + 1 cargo van + 1 U-Haul (this thing was huge..) Everyone from the team treated the house like their own, laid out floor protectant all over, swept every bit of sand before attempting to move any heavy items (a little sand that gets dragged can make quiet an impression on your floor), safely caught all the living creatures (all alive :D), and finished the job as if they literally CTRL+X the whole thing out of the house. Ocean Treasures Servicing is simply AMAZING. You would think after all the trouble of getting rid of a tank, I would be done... but NOPE! Since I found the best team I can trust, I am in the process of building a replacement one that is professional made by Daniel and his team...... No more DIY, unleveled, loud sounds, and random cuts from DIY stuff.... Don't Do it yourself, it's not worth it.. Trust Daniel and Ocean Treasures Servicing and just enjoy the hobby.
