Treasures of the Sea

This guy is awesome, I first went to his store when I was just starting out in the hobby and he answered all my questions no problem. By far the best selection of corals I’ve seen and great advice whenever I need it. Worth the trip if your not in the area.

Like many others have said… If you don’t need it, or it won’t work with your tank, he won’t sell it to you. That goes for livestock and equipment. I’m still learning how to do all of this, and Chad (the owner) has always been incredibly patient, and helpful. I couldn’t recommend Treasures of the Sea more. You won’t regret your decision to shop here!

I do not recommend purchasing coral from this guy. I was in the store last weekend and two of his tanks are full of aiptasia. Seriously? Yes, it is everywhere, on the walls of the tank, on the larger corals, even on the majority of the frags. In fact, the aiptasia was larger than most of the frags they were living on. I was shocked! Here is some friendly advice: Aiptasia is BAD! If you don’t know what it is or what it looks like, please look it up so you will be able to recognize it and avoid it. Those of you who know what it is know exactly what I mean. The guy will say «I will clean it off before I give it to you», but trust me, aiptasia does not work this way. If this review saves even one person from the pain of trying to rid their tank of this horrible pest, it will have been worth it.

We LOVE coming here for our various fishy needs. I cannot stress enough how awesome and trustworthy the owner (who is often, or always there) is when working with costumers.
We went in looking for new lighting initially, and he showed us a few options, not just to make a sale, but to help us make an informed decision. We did some research, got burned by another fish store, and learned this guy is the real deal.
He won’t sell things that don’t belong in your tank, which is important when fish are 10+ a pop.
He’s starting to dabble in fresh water fish. His glofish are super healthy and are on par with Petco prices.
He takes pride in helping costumers and matching prices. Trust me, skip Mystic Reef and just come here.

My wife and I just moved to this area and have been looking for a new LFS. The store owner is extremely knowledgeable and is not out to just get a sale. I was recently burned by another LFS in Riverside and Treasures of The Sea took care of me. They have a huge selection of fish, corals, accessories and a few tanks. The freshwater selection is really nice as well. My wife is really into GloFish and they have a nice selection here. I bought the AI Prime LED here today, fantastic light and they were already at Amazon pricing on it. I am sold on this store and will definitely make it my go to spot for my freshwater and saltwater needs.

I stopped by this shop for the first time last week after being told about it from another reefer. Really friendly guy even though I wasn’t able to purchase anything because I wasn’t going straight home. Decent fish selection but they all looked healthy, coral selection was decent as well. Smaller shop but the best one I’ve been to in that area.

This has become my new local fish store. I purchase all my water and corals here. The owner is very nice and helpful and will gladly answer any questions. Fish stock is really good. They have pretty much all the standard saltwater fish and a small selection of freshwater. He is able to order anything else you may want. The coral selection is really good. They all look really healthy and colorful. The prices are right in line with every other store I’ve been to. You can tell he takes pride in his work and the display tank at the front is filled with gorgeous sps.

I am the beginner for salt water tank and have been here so many times. The owner is very friendly and helpful and willing to answer any question I have. What I like is that he doesn’t push you to purchase the fishes, he told me to wait out and wanted to make sure my tank really ready for them. They have awesome and variety selections of saltwater fishes and coral. Totally recommended and definitely come back for more coral and fishes.

The best saltwater fish store within an hour radius for sure. The owner is super helpful and if he doesn’t have something he will order it for you. Great attitude and awesome selection of saltwater fish and inverts. Bitchin’ reef tank right behind the counter that rivals any pro aquarium!

I purchased four tiger barbs for $ 35 from this store and in 9 days one died, 2 days later the other three died. The first one looked like it had ick, so I treated with a fizzing tab by Jungle and added 1 tsp of API aquarium salt. The other three still died in the next two days.
I have had a freshwater aquarium for over 10 years. My last fish that passed away was 6+ years old. I had one incidence of ick in this tank many years ago and treated the fish the same way. I even had a catfish at that point, who survived the treatment.
I’m very disappointed in the quality of these fish. I called and the owner said ick is common. Yes, it is, but I have not had a fish in over a month in this tank, so it is unlikely that the tank gave my new fish ick, they already had ick when I purchased them.
I asked about what I could do for my tank. After not knowing about the two common products I used, he said to purchase a cycler fish. I asked if I could have one free (seeing as how I just lost 4 fish in less than two weeks) and he said no. I asked for a partial discount and he also said no.
Their return policy is 24 hours, with a possibility of max 48 hours.
I’m sad to say I will not be returning here.
Update: 10/​20/​2014
I purchased new tiger barbs and ghost shrimp from PetSmart (they have a two week return policy on fish) and they are still alive. They have no ick.
The old fish died with ick and I didn’t cycle the tank before adding these new fish because I wanted to confirm the existence of ick in my tank. After getting rid of the old fish, the new fish were placed in the tank the same day and have not developed ick.
Therefore I can confidently conclude that the fish this store sold me had ick.

Excellent customer service and very friendly. I have visited this store numerous times and the owner has always been very helpful and friendly. Before I even had a tank set up and long before I bought my first snail he has been very happy to answer questions and give advice. He has a very nice selection and always willing to get anything you ask for if he doesn’t have it. I would highly recommend this store to anyone who is just getting started like I was recently. I will always be a customer for as long as I have fish.

I called them to get some info on my pond which I have no clue about. I believe it was the owner that answered and he was very helpful. He answered all my questions and I could tell he knew what he wa talking about. I called other stores and got advice from them and it ruined my pond. The owner helped me out and was friendly. He just earned my business just by talking to him over te phone. I can only imagine the service I will get In person.

This is a mom and pop run source for aquarium, pet fish supplies, fish tank accessories, products and equipment. My wife and I only shop here to maintain our aquarium. Their selection of fish both fresh and salt water is great. They are very knowledgeable with how to set up and maintain your tank. Chad has been really great with letting me know which fish work best for my tank and life style. If you have a fish tank come and check this place out. I recommend it. No issues here.

I’m 3 years old to the salt water life and have been coming here the whole time. Chris the previous owner was great. She and her husband were very friendly, knowledgable, patient with answering all of mine and my boys questions, they stocked beautiful fish with reasonable prices and they were honest. When they sold the business they duplicated themselves pretty close with the new owner Chad. He has all of the same qualities. The store and aquariums are very well kept. He displays a gorgeous tank of his own.

Chad’s always helpful and the store maintains a good selection. Prices are pretty good especially when compared to the quality. Selection of dry product is a little small but he has the items you typically need and can make a solid recommendation. Check out the frags they have and note he cycles those through quite often. Don’t forget to ask about their loyalty card!

Honest, Customer Service and Care is Top Notch. Chad won me for life, I will not buy from anyone else. I hate the pushiness and sales tactics of the majority of fish stores. Chad makes you feel comfortable and answers any questions you might have. Another plus is great prices and rewards program offered.

Between all the stores I have visited this one is my all time favorite store. The owner is very friendly and honest. He will offer you the best price, and all his tank are clean! Plus he has a show reef tank in his store and you can see his knowledge will show in his tank! Not many stores can do that

Good fish store

This local fish store (LFS) is the closest besides Petsmart and Petco. Since I began coming here I have bought a 80, 37, 18, and a 12 gallon tank.
Chad always seems to have the place clean and well-​kept, and the place is relatively easy to find, it is located at the end in the shopping center.
The prices of the fish and plants are a little more than average, but it is worth it because I have never had one account of ICK or any parasite from here (compared to a petsmart or somewhere). Besides that, he has a good variety of everything an aquarist can think of. Some of the stock he carries includes: Panda cories, discus, angels, bettas, tetras; substrate, plants, driftwood, etc.
Overall a great LFS; I enjoy coming here. The place is cool and neat, an ideal place for the aquarium enthusiast who rather shop in-​person.

I have been going to Treasures of the Seas for many years. Drive all the way from Eastvale. They have always done me well and given me very sound advice. The ONLY people I would trust for help with my salt water tanks,
We were very SAD to see Chris & Scott move they were so fun to share fish stories with. Wishing Chad many great years ahead. If your starting a tank or are having issue Treasures of the Sea is the place for you.
