BEST saltwater fish store hands down… Jimmy and his family are always helpful, knowledgeable, and they are the only fish store I trust when it comes to this hobby, whether it’s a water delivery or custom ordering fish this place is my go to, I’ve tried other fish stores two or three times and nothing beats the quality of not only his merchandise but his fish.

This is probably my favorite store for saltwater corals. I have been going here for several years and they just continue to surprise with their incredible quality, selection, and reasonable prices. Even after being out of the hobby for a while before getting back into it and moving away to upstate SC this place was a highlight of coming home for the holidays so I could visit this store to get some goodies for my tank. They are one of the few LFS’s who actually specialize in SPS corals I’ve been to. They have some incredible hammer and torch coral and grow some premium zoas like weeds. The owners are super knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to share any information they have learned over the years they have reef keeping. If you want to see some of the happiest bubble tip nems you have ever seen go check these guys out and enjoy their several fantastic tanks. If you are looking for anything coral or reef related these guys are the go-to source you need. They can even ship and do so with incredible packaging. When it comes to the saltwater/reef-keeping industry these guys are absolutely world class. Stop in and see these guys, just gawking at their display tanks alone is worth it.

Customer service is awful. Tried explaining what I needed, and they were getting very impatient with me. The owner is not a friendly man either. Brought my business elsewhere.

This store is dirty and disgusting. They seem to price at random and everything they have is diseased, dying or dead. The people don’t seem to care about the animals at all. I would avoid this place like the plague, there are other decent stores in town.

I have been a reefer for 20 years. I took a 6 year hiatus. I was super excited for my new reef. I started it. It started looking horrible pretty quickly which is not uncommon. But there’s a lot of money involved and I panicked.I messaged BWA on FB and was answered very quickly. I went in and Jimmy along with his very helpful boys were just cool and relaxed. I went in to grab a bunch of stuff for a cleanup crew. I asked a few other questions. He could tell I am experienced but he could also tell I was severely second guessing myself. He gave me a few tips and set my head straight. I am very thankful I found that store. I have another favorite and I won’t stop shopping there but I will likely check in to BWA first even though it’s further away.

Just called up to ask about rotifers. The associate that answered the phone asked if it was copepods or rotifers I was looking for. I explained that I needed live rotifers since fresh hatched clownfish fry are too small to eat copepods and the associate got an attitude and hung up on me. Not great customer service. This is the exact reason why I quit coming here because the customer service has only gotten worse and worse through the years. They are short and snappy in person unless it’s the owner who’s great. Anyone else just ignores your presence or at least mine…

This store is for SALTWATER ONLY! No freshwater aquariums at all. Lots of really cool coral but not what I was looking for or expecting.

Really enjoyed my visit here. Big selection on nice corals and good prices as well. Not mickey mouse prices. Wanted to stop back in and pick up a few things before my trip there was over but now I’m just going to have them shipped to me

These people are the best to work with! Always go way out of their way to help us out as matter of fact they literally just wrangled a foxface rabbit fish out of the tank that I really wanted. We will continue to be loyal customers!

Way overpriced…. For a small local fish store, they think they can charge you rates like Top Shelf Aquatics but they certainly don’t treat you as nice as TSA. Also, unwilling to compromise. A couple days later, I ordered these six Tenuis frags and one Efflo from BattleCorals for less than what the owner at Bluewater Reef Aquatics was wanting to charge me for one frag.
