Healthy stocks, great selection, knowledgeable staff. The tanks they install are stunning!

Good quality fish .. If I get that, I am happy.

Like others have said the Corals are nice and the Fish are nice, a bit overpriced but I guess he has to be a bit overpriced cause business may not allow him to bring his prices down (why cause the guy is a pill, went into the store and saw him talking to customers, so I figure I walk around and look and give him sometime to separate himself from the talking to two customers that were asking WHAT DO I DO QUESTION, hello we have the internet these days do your research before you go out buying stuff, But anyway after 45 min I figure this is not going to end, let me walk up to the register and put my item on the table and wait maybe he will see me and walk over and ring me out, what happen next was a total joke, he walked to another tank looked at me and walked passed me like I was a wall and went back to those folks and started a new chat. I couldn't even start to figure out what was actually happening. So I said OK he must be doing very very well and walked out, not worth close to 2 hours to pay for one item( 2 stars only cause the items were nice but nothing you cant get at any other fish store or online )Also as far as the owner being a bit to shy like others have reviewed here I respect your opinion 100% on the reason BUT when you have a business your owner/customer service has to be top notch their is no room for a bit shy

Aquatic Obsessions is a small marine aquarium store tucked in a small strip mall on a very busy roadway. If you're not looking for it intently as you drive there, you may miss it (as I did the first time). Inside however is a paradise for marine aquarium hobbyists.

There are probably 40 small tanks that are always stocked with a nice selection of fish. The coral section is small also but the owner keeps a good amount of inventory for your buying pleasure.

Dry goods too is limited but I find that AO stocks only the things you really need so while there may not be rows and rows of good, what he stocks is what you need or could use.

Be sure to subscribe to the newsletter. Frequently, usually weekly AO sends an email announcing the new arrivals for the week and most time he offers one or two of the more expensive fish at a great discount presumably to get people in the door.

I definitely include AO on my list od the top LFS (local fish store) in New Jersey.

With regard to the other reviewer comments about customer service, the owner is almost always in the store and yes it's a little quiet but he is friendly and will talk if you talk to him.
