  On my first visit I knew I was in a special place - the tanks are clear and clean and the many different plants are shown individually in tanks - not all tangled together. The staff helped me set up my aquarium from the bottom up - everything I needed was there. There are varieties of rock that I could arrange in a sandbox to see how they would look in my tank (how fun is that!). I got advise in a patient, helpful manner. Ian, Pete, Alex, Stevie all have gone out of their way to help me be successful. My plants are beautiful and my fish are happy. I highly recommend that you stop by and check it out.

  In a time where people will do anything to complain, I'd like to take a moment to praise people that provide good service, and the entire crew at Old Town Aquarium is more than deserving of this. I am new to the reef aquarium hobby, and from concept to completion, continuing with service, they have been nothing short of fabulous. With great patience through multiple visits and phone calls, Ian worked hand in hand with my counter top installer, cabinet maker ,as well as the tank fabricator making for a seamless installation in my basement. Peter and Alex both have encyclopedic knowledge about livestock and have made the somewhat daunting task of fish, coral, and invertebrate selection a great experience always keeping the heath of the tank as the number one priority. An inviting store that you can tell great care is taken to maintain with a super friendly staff makes Old Town a must visit for experienced aquarists and novices alike.

  Ember Tetras love dying. It's their favorite thing to do. Ember Tetras are to dying as Baseball is to the US. I've bought no less than 20 tetras from various fish stores, and sure enough, they kick the bucket within 24 hours (despite the tank being well-established, with other tank mates that show no signs of being a danger to themselves or others) Enter Old Town Aquarium: I bought 5 ember tetras, and 2 weeks later, they are not only alive, but thriving. All 5 of them. They're schooling. They're eating. The other 5 tetras in the tank have included them in various fish activities like eating, pooping and swimming. This shop should be studied as I'm positive this is damn near a miracle. They clearly care about their animals, as evidenced by the tetras that DID NOT DIE. Go buy your fish and fish accessories here. Did I mention these tetras are still alive? As an aside, the employees are also really friggin cool and nice. 10/10 all around.

  Peter was fantastic to work with. He took the time to really understand my tank and what I was trying to accomplish, and his advice was thoughtful, practical, and clearly grounded in experience. What I appreciated most was his enthusiasm and expertise, he focused on what would actually help my setup succeed long term rather than trying to sell me more than I needed. You can tell he genuinely cares about the health of the tanks and the success of the people he helps. Old Town Aquarium is fortunate to have someone like him.
