Our initial experience with Seascape was 15 years ago when our son started in the hobby. We have been doing business with Seascape since then! Recently starting in the hobby myself, Joe and staff have come into our home to set up a new saltwater tank . The tank was plumbed professionally and special care was taken to avoid risk to our home. We have been impressed with the level of knowledge and support we have received throughout the past fifteen years with water chemistry issues and would recommend Seascape as your go to LFS! read more

I placed a custom order for an aquarium and stand. Was told by the owner the order could be canceled at anytime before going into production. When manufacturer caused unexpected problems, I canceled the sale. Owner then said custom orders could not be canceled, as stated on my receipt (it was not), and I could only use my four-figure purchase for store credit (also not stated on the receipt). After a one-month battle that included personal threats directed at me, I won my credit card dispute and got my money back. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE. read more

This is THE saltwater aquarium store to go to in STL. I am genuinely baffled that there is even one negative review. The shop goes above and beyond in every single facet. The livestock are thriving in great conditions and the employees are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices on wet live rock are amazing ($4.99/lb as 11/3/25). They have an extensive selection of corals and fish. My favorite thing to buy from here is live rocks with attached corals/macroalgae (not the $4.99/lb price btw). I bought a piece that was a rock completely covered with a sponge, some macroalgae, and two different types of corals for extremely cheap. They also have some unique invertebrates like sea cucumber, feather duster worms, sponges, and more. What surprised me the most was the employees and the care they have for marine life; I went in to purchase my first fish and they helped me pick out a cheap fish to start out with. Too often it seems fish stores try to be salespeople while these employees genuinely just wanted to give the animals the best life possible. Please support this local business!!!! read more

I knew better but I was in a bind waiting for my RODI cartridges to show up in the mail. Totally my fault for not testing the 5 gallons of "fresh" RODI water I had just purchased from this establishment before adding to my tank. I got about half of a pint n in the sump before it dawned on me to see if indeed the issue may lie with my personal rodi system in addition to see what these guys at seascape have going on . low and behold 37 popped up . I called the dude back to see if they would be kind enough to test it to see in real time what the stores tds would show and he also had 37 . Super sad because a month ago I was in a bind and had to do a 10 percent water change for my 150 total gallon system and now I know why my animlals haven't been doing so well these past few weeks. I really like the staff they have here (especially Steph) but unfortunately i have thousands of dollars of animals to take care of and I can't risk dumping anymore dirty bong water or corals from this place . total bummer read more

Updated review! The years have passed and we have used Seascape exclusively for livestock and help with our mixed reef aquarium. They've helped us go from absolute beginners to, well, slightly better beginners. We've been to other shops in the area for comparison and can easily say that Seascape has the healthiest and cleanest tanks. The folks that work there are the best, whether you're calling in with a question or stopping by to get water, upgrade equipment, or get some new frags. Special shout outs to Melissa & Luke who have been there for us since the beginning. :) read more

Wanted to upgrade our 40g biocubes to a larger tank. We went to seascape on a Wednesday afternoon and ordered a new 120g tank and by the next Wednesday morning they were bringing it in our door setting it up. Nick and Rob came to do the job and were extremely professional. Within a few hours our tank was in the house, filled up and running properly with hard plumbing not the cheap tubing. They set up my current lights and programmed them and even made a custom holder in the top part of the hood for the lights to sit in. On a side note I've been going to seascape for the past few years here and there. We live about an hour away so it's not a close trip and we barely get to go but every time the store employeesare very helpful. It's probably the cleanest fish store I've been to in the area and healthy looking fish. The huge tanks are beautiful in the store and it's always a field trip and you see more than at the new stl aquarium sadly. read more

Seascape Studio - Pet Stores Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Absolutely amazing store. Very knowledgeable staff and very friendly. My wife and I were brand new to salt water aquariums and Joe walked us through the entire process and has always made time to answer our million questions. Highly highly recommend this place if you're looking for great service and great products. They have on numerous occasions conducted tests on our tank water and walked us through how to correct any imbalances we might have. These guys and gals will work with you every step of the way from day one. No question is a dumb question and they will always answer it in a friendly manner. They don't try and push products on you that you don't need because their number one goal is to show you how fun of a hobby a tank is and to make sure you're 100% successful. They have a biologist who works with them to ensure the highest quality of fish and coral possible and keeps them up to date on everything you could possibly ever want to know. Give them a chance to earn your business and you'll become a customer and friend for life. read more

Fresh water hobbyist turned saltwater aficionado, who was looking for a local store able to help with equipment, setup, and livestock. This was the place!!! We walked in and we're treated by a staff eager to help and not up sell to make a quick buck. They set us up with a nice tank and guided us through the start up process. I tried to add items I thought were necessary (don't believe everything you read online) and was saved big bucks by the knowledgeable staff. Prices were very comparable to online and they even sold us some items at cost since we bought a complete setup. The store just feels nice, clean, and inviting. They do get busy, so expect to wait if you are looking for specific things. Take this time to marvel at their tanks and imagine what you could one day set up in your own home. It's a 45 minute drive for me and the family, but it's worth every minutes. One the weekends, I ask my son what he wants to do and the answer is always, "Visit Seascape!" I'm a customer for as long as I keep saltwater and recommend you give this place a try and let them prove they are the best is the STL area. Thanks Seascape! read more

The first time I went into this store it was not a good experience. The staff basically ignored us the entire time. I was actually standing directly in front of someone behind the counter and he never acknowledged me. I didn't want to give it a review until I visited again. Today we went back and had a great experience. At least 3 people asked us how we were doing and if we needed anything. There was a woman there who was particularly knowledgable and made some great recommendations for my tank. As far as the fish and their tanks, they're nice. Great coral growth, healthy fish, and an awesome setup. Everyone has told me this store is expensive but the fish and corals I looked at were all reasonably priced. I will be back and I would recommend this store. read more

I was recommended to this company by a regular customer, who I trust, but you never know what kind of experience you're going to have. Nick went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. There is no other saltwater fish - aquriam tank company that I would recommend. The go to place. Thank you read more

Seascape Studio's is clearly tops in the regional area. I went to them to install a fairly large, multi-tank system spanning 2 floors in my home. Joe and his team are fantastic to work with and really know the nuances to getting your system up and running the right way. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable at the store and really want the consumer to buy animals that will flourish in the home system. Yelp won't let me give 6-stars, but I would if I could... read more

AMAZING! I drove over 2 1/2 hrs to see this store for myself after being refereed by somebody and man was it worth it!!! The customer service was amazing with plenty of knowledgeable people willing to explain all the different species of saltwater animals and corals and their recommended requirements. I was truly blown away by how helpful, patient and knowledgeable everyone was! This is a must see store if you have a saltwater aquarium! They carry SO many different types of unbelievable and unusual corals and fish! GO CHECK THEM OUT!!! read more

Most amazing aelection of marine life. Very knowledgeable staff. So inspiring. Highly recommend.

Love this store! The owner and staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They will tell you not to get something if it wont work in your tank or if you dont need it, I love that fact about them. The other thing is they have a biologist there to help figure out what is going on with your tank. Worth the 35-40 minute drive. read more

Staff ignored us and was very rude! Very pricey compared to other stores in the area! Asked for a quote for and never returned my call...will never go back! read more

So glad I found this place. Very knowledgeable staff, great selection of unique fish and corals. All the tanks were clean and fish all looked healthy, happy and taken care of. They gave me a sample of they're live rotifers and my corals went nuts. I'll definitely be back. read more
