I bought a 90 gallon tank and canopy stand a few months ago from one this store, prices were a bit high compared to other stores..but not so far off as to say no. However...the advice that I was given for filtration was so far off from what is correct, that I must say..the knowledge of the staff is sub par. After I bought it, I was trying to load it in my truck and the clerk refused to help me load it, saying that they were not allowed to assist. It was fortunate that I had a friend with me..or I would not have purchased the set up.

I went in a 2nd time and walked around for 35 minutes...and not one person asked if I needed help. Not one!!! I walked out...then went back in because I remembered that I needed a gang valve. When I did...there was a guy that appeared at the check out counter that rang me up. Their tanks with Cichlids were so jammed with multiple varieties of Mbunas and Peacocks...with NO identification of any. They'd have a tank with 20 species in it..with 2 or 3 names on the glass to identify. When cichlids are juveniles, it is hard to ID what they are unless you have knowledge of the fish. If I see a peacock cichlid and I want to know what it looks like as an adult...I google the name so that I can see what the future holds for that fish. When I asked the clerk..he had no clue what they were. SAD! Terrible customer service.

Let me tell you a little bit about Seascape! :) Established in 1975 by Rick and Charlene Marot it is sarasota's original petstore! They offer a large variety of both Salt and Freshwater Fish as well as Corals and Invertebrates and the tanks to put them in along with a full line of decorations and supplies to help you maintain your tank! They also offer Birds, Reptiles, Small Animals and all the products needed to take care of them and if they don't have what you need in stock they will order it for you! They also carry Dog and Cat supplies as well as pond supplies. They offer pond maintenance and will install and maintain your fish tanks as well! If you need advice on anything of have a sick fishy just ask Rick he's a certified marine biologist! Oh and there correct store hours are 10am-6pm monday thru friday 10am-5pm saturday and 12pm-5pm sundays! So stop in and say HI! :)

Seascape is the coolest and my kids love it! I wasted alot of time and money with other petstores.

THIS STORE HAS A COY POND AT THE ENTRANCE, (AWESOME) A BRIDGE A HUGE VARIETY OF FISH AND A FRIENDLY STAFF. (I CALLED ABOUT 40 PETSTORES IN A 50 MILE RADIUS OF MY HOUSE AND THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT A DRAGON GOBY (THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT ME THERE) THEY HAVE ADDED LIKE 50 FISH TO THE LIST OF FISH I WANT(JUST FROM LOOKING AROUND) I LOVE THIS STORE. I KID YOU NOT.

THANKYOU FOR MAKING FLORIDA SUCK LESS!
