    We've been coming to Concord Feed & Pet Supply for several years now, and it's honestly become one…read moreof those places we rely on. We first got chicks there, and now that we have chickens, turkeys, and sheep, it's our regular spot for feed and supplies we trust. We're also in there a lot picking up things for our dogs and cats, and we've even gotten into their pond plants, which have been a really nice addition. They have a huge selection of brands, and their prices are always reasonable. What really stands out is the staff. It takes a lot to run a feed/tack store and these guys do a wonderful job. I want to give a special shout out to Derek. His customer service is always great, and he really knows what he's talking about. You can tell he actually cares and wants to help you get the right things for your animals. It's just a genuinely solid, dependable place. Highly recommend. A.de.R.

    Morgan is the BEST!!!!!! I went in to grab a stock tank that I purchased online. It was dinged…read moreup so we went at it with a mallet since it was the only one. She went out of her way to get me a discount and when it didn't work out she totally accommodated my needs. Not only that, when I asked her about hens and illnesses she was SO patient with me and made several recommendations. She wasn't annoyed and was so attentive it took me off guard. Staff like Morgan are a dying breed. She clearly has a knowledge and love of farming. Ive always loved this place but have always had a hard time with advice until Morgan! She is a gem, people! It gets busy in there so you cannot be demanding or in a rush and definitely not entitled. I cannot thank her enough because now I think one of my girls are on the mend and am treating the others. I count believe that by describing the symptoms she knew exactly what I was talking about and new the names of the ailments they could have. She even taught me how to check for an egg bound egg. Needless to say that I have never stuck a finger up a hens vent before but if it wasn't for Morgan I probably would have lost my flock! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

    Update 3/12/2026: I…read morerecently bought a house in San Jose that came with a pond. Unfortunately the previous owner had passed away and left no instructions, so I had absolutely no idea where to start. I've never had a pond before and knew nothing about how to maintain one. I remember having a great experience with Aqua lab back in 2016 so I called them back up and Kent was incredibly helpful from the start. He took the time to walk me through everything and explain how the system works without ever making me feel dumb for asking very basic questions. We decided to do a one-time deep cleaning to restore the pond. Before the scheduled cleaning, Kent stopped by to check out the system and figure out what actually needed to be done. He ended up fixing a broken part, doing a full deep clean of the pond and the filter/skimmer, and adding beneficial water additives. Since I live about 3 hours away, he kept me updated throughout the process with photos and messages, which I really appreciated. He even left me some pond tools to use and offered to come back another time, at no extra charge, when I'm at the house so he can walk me through the system in person and show me how to do the regular monthly maintenance myself (or help with that if I decide I'd rather have him handle it). His pricing was very fair and actually came in lower than other local shops I contacted. Overall just a really great experience. I've attached before and after photos of the pond. Highly recommend Aqua Lab and working with Kent. What a great guy!

    Aqua Lab Aquaria is great store that sells brands like ada and other stuff you will not find at…read moreother stores. Prices are on higher end but the price is fair. Planted tanks start up cost can very costly. Rimless tank, aquasoil. Good duel stage co2 regulator, anf There are equipment that they have that isn't found in big chain store. You're paying quality stuff. I been in fish hobby for 10+ years with African Cichlids, Rare Turtles, and koi ponds, but never tried high tech planted aquarium. High tech Aquarium was quite of challenge for me and aqua lab aquaria guided me to finally built my ideal setup. I no longer have room in my aquarium for plants but this is my favorite store for planted stuff. Another bonus is that they are only store to sell co2.

    I contacted Cesar for a "custom" set up including base stand, basking condo, and filtration system…read morefor a 5-year-old red eared slider turtle. I could have saved a lot of money (and time after the results) if I had purchased everything myself with tips from turtle forum sites and YouTube DIY videos, but I was willing to pay for a "professional" to have peace of mind and support a local small business. While Cesar was nice and knowledgeable about general tanks and filtration systems, the outcome of what we received shows that he is not an expert on what turtles fully need- he's more a filtration and fish expert as shown mostly on his website and Yelp photos. The setup we received was not adequate and required extra money (over 2k) to fix cosmetically and functionally for us to have good access from the basking condo to the tank. Let's start with the pricing issue. I had called Cesar to get some ballpark figures which he had provided with a guess. But when the final quote came ... it was around 1k higher than the ballpark pricing (a big difference!). Knowing the new higher prices, I still contracted him to help me since I wanted an expertly set up and permanent home for our 5-year-old red eared slider. Cesar presented himself as a knowledgeable trustworthy professional. The base stand was the first to arrive (about a month after deposit was paid). Please note that we never told Cesar to do a rush job as we were more focused on moving into a new home at that time. The base stand was about 40% of the total cost. He provided photos of the stand prior to delivery, and I approved it by looks only. When the stand arrived, it did look like the picture, but it seemed very basically put together despite Cesar's claim that the manufacturer said it was polycoated to help with waterproofing. I knew it wasn't stained since I didn't want to change the color. At that time, we had a contractor on site at our new home for remodeling who looked at the stand and confirmed that this was an incomplete unfinished product, with the front portion being anything of quality and purely cosmetic. Upon arrival, the stand had doors that did not open properly. The magnetic closures for the doors were cheap and crooked. The top and back was just plywood. The back and inside had many splinters and open drill holes. The overall wood was not smooth to touch and did not seem it was coated enough to be considered waterproof. Please see provided photos and note that the photo Cesar posted himself on Yelp on Sep 24, 2021, is NOT an accurate depiction of the quality he provided us. The blue stand pictured in his photos was AFTER our contractor spent 3 whole days having to sand down the door and paint it blue. Had I known the door would have been that big of an issue, I should have let the manufacturer fix it prior. But overall quality of the stand would probably have remained the same. The door would have been just rotated to match the grain, which would have caused less work for our contractor, so that part was my fault. During our initial complaint (before we put our own contractor to work), Cesar said his manufacturer was willing to fix it but at that point we didn't trust them to do so since there were many issues we had complaints about. To add fuel to our fire, Cesar initially claimed that he did not use his regular guy for the job (why did we get a 2nd tiered manufacturer when we paid the same rates as others) and later said this guy also does stands for him all the time. Then why did ours come so incomplete compared to what he shows online? After our initial complaint, Cesar did help us discount us a few hundred dollars but ultimately it wasn't enough to justify the amount of money spent after our contractor worked for days to make it right. However, we tried to be a good sport and continued to entrust Cesar to complete the rest of the contracted turtle filtration system and basking condo set up. When the condo arrived and filtration was set up, we were so excited to be able to transfer our red eared slider into his new larger home. The condo itself is good quality in materials but was not a custom structure. At first, we did not notice any issue with the condo but contacted Cesar after a few days. The ramp length was a bit short, and our heavier, older red eared slider turtle had a lot of trouble pulling his weight up to get on top to bask. This will only get worse as time passes and he grows larger, and turtles should bask comfortable daily for their shell health. The other issue was that we could not get our arms into the tank to move anything around which presents a HUGE ISSUE FOR SAFETY. It is also not easily able to be lifted off during emergencies. If you research custom turtle basking condos in forums, you will find that the ones that sit on top of the tank are mostly 50% in length so that you can still place your arm inside the tank to clean/move things around or perhaps save your turtle if stuck. Or the ones that have a full 100%

A community tank 30 gallons, a cichlid tank 160 gallons, and finally my Flower Horn who lives in a 75 gallon tank. What started as a hobby has become so much more. My husband and I have learned a lot and recently our cichlid tank just had some fry!!! How amazing and how they are all thriving. Cesar over communicates and has been fair and upfront from the start. Honest, direct, and kind as he has a lot of wisdom when it comes to the fish world. We are very thankful for his service and time and looking forward to the future. Thanks Cesar!
