While several stores had nice displays, I often felt like I was being sold whatever they had in stock rather than getting advice tailored to my needs. Tank It Easy was a completely different experience. The staff took the time to understand my budget, space, experience level and what I wanted to achieve with my aquarium. They walked me through different options, answered all of my questions and never made me feel pressured into making a purchase. Their knowledge of both freshwater and saltwater aquariums was impressive, and it was clear they genuinely care about helping customers succeed. Thanks to their guidance, I ended up with a setup that was exactly what I was looking for. If you're considering an aquarium and want honest advice from people who truly know the hobby, I highly recommend Tank It Easy.

First of all, the owner and head of the design team, Brian, always provides excellent advice on equipment, aquarium fish, invertebrates and especially corals - and the supply in his store is outstanding! (Take a peak at the picture I took of a scene in one of the shop's display tanks as an example). What's really great is his vast knowledge on the behavior, dietary needs, and compatibility with other tank mates you can choose. He's so generous in helping you learn and he does so while always thinking of you first, and what's right for your aquarium and your budget! I sincerely feel I have a friend in the business, which is why I prefer to "Tank It Easy"!
