"Staff are great, knowledgeable, never tries to sell you something you don't need and will help troubleshoot issues with your tank. Store is always clean. Tanks are well maintained. Every fish and coral I have bought from them is thriving in my tank now."

"Shout out to Dave, Cathy and Noah for always making our experience a great one! Everyone is always so helpful and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of plants, fish and any and all things we need. I would definitely recommend making Nova Tropicals your favorite store for all your aquarium needs."

"I have spent 4 years in this hobby and have not found a better aquarium shop than NOVA Tropicals. Since shopping here, I have purchased two large aquariums (150 gallons and 120 gallons) as well as many different fish and received the best customer service and recommendations based on my needs. The fish I have purchased here have always been healthy and staff has been sure to advise me to hold off if the fish wasn't looking to well. Dave and his staff are very knowledgeable in both fresh and saltwater aquariums. The staff at NOVA Tropicals has always taken time to answer my questions and allow me to bounce ideas off them. When I eventually get into the saltwater tanks, I will definitely be following their guidance to a T!"

"Been coming to Nova tropicals for a little over a year when I get back into the reefing hobby. Dave and Shane have been awesome with answering questions and their simple system for ordering any fish you want from a clipboard on the front desk was such a welcome surprise in this hobby. Ive seen lots of positive reviews about the livestock but not enough talking about their selection of dry goods. From food, filters, tools and a few special pieces of plumbing that are hard to find in store has been amazing. Cant recommend this store enough"

"Absolutely stunning display and variety of fish. I found this store online while searching for videos on how to start a reef aquarium. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about everything I needed even when I didn’t ask. I can successfully say that my first ever anemone is still alive and thriving so I must be doing something right! I’ve been to Petco, pets-mart, pet supplies, etc. and my fish have either died within a week or just simply did not flourish. I’m not a beginner fish keeper so I know about quarantine and acclimating. Their store has a whole quarantine area in the back for when they receive new fish. They also have an amazing selection of cichlids that are colorful and absolutely beautiful. The huge cichlid tank when you first walk in is mesmerizing. All the tanks are crystal clear and well taken care of. I will only be getting my fish and supplies from this store from now on. (Also, they have a beautiful Oscar in the back!)"
