Well I started going there because the other 2 stores in my area, one on Flatbush Ave & another one on Ave U, there prices are just way high, & the Ave U store has nice fish but they are just too expensive & nasty customer service!!!
Island Aquarium for me they are OK not expensive, grate customer service & they have the dry goods that I need especially brightwell aquatics products that are just a $1 or $2 more than MarineDepot prices, and I get most of my frozen food Hikari from them, they might not be the best for corals, & I never got corals from them all my corals are from MR members, but as of now all my 13 fish (small & medium) are from them all healthy and doing great!!!
When I got my flame angel from them in less 24H he died, I did call & they gave me a discount on another one, they know that I?m not a rookie so they took care of me, I understand local stores that don?t give full credit on livestock, because a lot of people don?t know what they are doing, they get fish and don?t even cycle the tank.
Over all for me & for what I need they are good.
