Aquatica Aquarium Gallery 6653 Grafton Road, Valley City, OH 44280

"I was referred to Aquatica after moving to Ohio from virgina, I needed a new Local shop to frequent with questions and patronage. I'm in no way a beginner to the hobby, and was very excited to see how much Aquatica really had to offer. The facility is wonderful, albiet small but packed with variety. Unfortunatley my experience with senior staff have been everything except pleasant. I can recall like yesterday just one experience, coming in for a simple liquid calcium solution (Seachem liquid calcium, commonly used to feed bony corals) and being met with, verbatim; "there is no magic potion." Another time I remember having to call them right after left with my livestock. Apparently one of their main livestock tanks was completely overrun by ich, and had i not quarantined my newest animal i would have lost every fish in my well established tank. Maybe it was my fault for not checking that their tanks were healthy, however I don't have this problem at RMS Aquaculture. Initially walking in and seeing a "hiring" sign made my heart leap! I'm a disabled college student with high functioning autism, and a job like is the perfect opportunity for me to learn job skills in a Familiar environment. I remember applying one of the first times I entered the store, I applied in person on paper and was told someone would get in touch with me. I frequent the store weekly for live food, just to check out the plants, sometimes even grabbing fish medication because the location is less than 5 minutes from me, but I never received an update. I even came in person to ask about my application only to be met with "we have alot of applications to get to" It's pretty disheartening to enter the store now, it seems like I meet a new staff member every day, and in the hundreds of times that I've entered the location no one ever let me know the job was filled. The sign is still outside the facility as well, as if they are still hiring. I've started to take the majority of my business nearly 40 minutes out of my way, to RMS Aquaculture, where the staff have proven to be helpful & kind and the facility is nearly 10x the size, with a larger variety of fish and plants at fractions of the cost, they also have a livestock garentee, unlike Aquatica."

"Beautiful well kept store with very knowledgable and friendly staff! Well worth the drive and has everything."

"I was referred by my sister, had never been here before I have to say as I walked in the door I was pleasantly surprised I was greeted promptly by Josh told him what I was looking for. He asked me a few questions. He helped me pick out several plants for my tank And a few new friends highly highly recommend everybody was so helpful and so nice the store is neat clean and the tanks are very well-maintained Josh , thank you for being such a knowledgeable, young man and helping me out"

"This place is a MUST VISIT for anyone who has aquarium fish, saltwater, or pets. They have the full supply of just about anything you would ever need. I have a 480-gallon fishwater, planted tank with a 100-gallon sump. Everything I wanted was there. I can't say enough about their staff, healthy fish, and professionalism. They packaged over $300 worth of fish I purchased and I never lost a single one. They also gave me great advice on a few things I needed help with. If you don't put this place on your list, you are missing out. Thank you sooooooooooo much..."

"This place is absolutely amazing! Clean store, healthy fish and plants, and friendly and helpful staff! I have four tanks and this is where I go for all my aquarium wants and needs! My most recent purchase included a pair of adorable pea puffers."
