So we drove from the elk Grove area all the way out to Rockland to visit the store for the first time and we were not disappointed. Incredibly clean and well laid out store. The tanks are well-maintained and not overcrowded. Lots of ample parking and two of the nice gentlemen were working the day that we visited. My mom and I each purchased some fish and I purchased some decor. We were already super thrilled with this store when the unthinkable happened my mom I noticed looked like she was crying and when I ask her what was wrong I heard her blood sugar monitor go off. It was below 50 the picture you see was taken after the doughnut one of the gentleman at this location saw my mom was in peril and quickly acted and had the other gentleman working in the store bring up his snack bag of powdered sugar donuts, which saved the day I was able to get my mom back on track and some real food in her afterwards, but these guys definitely go above and beyond firstly with an amazing store and secondly with generosity thank you folks so much. We will definitely be going back to the store, even though it's well out of our way it's nice to support businesses who support their community and strangers, especially in a time of need.

I love this place. Worth the 2 hour drive just for the staff and the prices. Headed back again soon!read more

I don't normally write reviews, but Alan Roggenburg from A.G. Aquariums and Ponds ruinied our…read morepond/waterfall, then he completely ghosted us and has been ignoring our calls and emails for months. Our waterfall will cost thousands to fix, if it can be. Things started out back in May 2021 well. He showed up when he said he would and got us a quote. We hired him to get our waterfall working again. He replaced some pipes and installed a new pump. This all went well and we were pleased with his responsiveness and work. However, while we ran the new pump, the water in our waterfall disappeared in an hour. I asked him to fix this, and offered him more money. He said he would fix it. When he finally came back to fix it (after a missed appointment and many ignored calls and emails), he didn't really bother trying to figure out where the leak was...he just sloppily smeared patches of bright gray / white concrete all over the beautiful giant red lava rocks anywhere he thought water might be leaking. To boot, he ran the water before the concrete was dry, so all the moss growing on the rock has white concrete dingleberries all over it. So now our beautiful, natural-looking 3-level waterfall has white concrete slopped and smeared all over it--its a horrendous eyesore and we have no idea how to get it off. It's ruined--and the leak still isn't fixed. The water still disappears in an hour if we run the pump. We asked Alan back to fix it. Offered him more money. After many, many ignored calls and emails, we got ahold of him and he said he would come back to fix it. He was a no-call no-show for this appointment. Then after many more ignored calls and emails, he was a no-call no-show a second time...and since then he has been ignoring our calls and emails for months. We haven't ever heard from him again. He ruinied our waterfall--I suspect it will never quite be the same even if we find a way to remove the concrete. It still doesn't hold water while the pump is running. He didn't do what we paid him to do. He didn't make it right, despite being offered more money and ample opportunity. And he's still ignoring our calls and emails after months. His website says he is insured and bonded but I can find no evidence of this, and it appears we have no real recourse unless we try to take him to court?

(Their estimate was so much lower than their competition that I was a bit wary-when I asked Alan he told me they were running two different specials and I qualified for both.). Alan came within the week (this was spring-which is by far the busiest time for pond maintenance so Alan worked me in for a Sunday estimate). Alan was more than accommodating, professional, and friendly. We discussed multiple options for my pond (which was in very bad shape but still had 25 beautiful goldfish in various age, size and colors). My fish had started dying and I knew it was water quality. When Alan and his team arrived they drained the 2,000 gallon pond (first putting the fish in a separate pool they supplied)-cleaned the aerators, scrubbed, installed two waterfalls (pro bono I might add), installed a pump for water changes, carefully removed the existing plants and replaced when done (the started blooming within days due to the healthy water!!) One of my fish got sick and Alan came-created a fish hospital-20? gallon container with a separate aerator-treating my fish and walking me through what I needed to do over the next week to help my fish get well. He did not charge me for this separate visit. This to me was above and beyond. I can truly recommend Alan as an excellent choice to treat/create/maintain your pond. It takes a lot for me to give a five star review-AG Aquariums deserves 6 stars.

The staff here were very friendly and extremely helpful, throughout the two times that we've been here. They let us look at and hold a couple snakes out in the main area. While also letting looking and hold the samkes in the breeding area, and the other back area with the larger snakes and reptiles.

My biggest complaint is lack of continuity of care with different service techs sent out each time. Over the years the biggest issues could have been avoided if the service provided the same technician on a regular basis. Recently I went rogue and tried to care for my tanks on my own and failed miserably! So I sought out Sea Life Aquatics. It is unlike any service I have ever experienced! From the very beginning I could tell this would be a game changer. Only one technician, the owner, would be assigned to my home. It was clear that the service would be fine tuned to my specific tank needs! My tanks look amazing!!!! I can't say enough good things! From the customer service to the high quality of care! I would give 10 stars if I could!
