11/24/17 update- they’ve updated the store a bit and added some more frag tanks. I think they have the most affordable largest selection of coral frags in the NVA area - carry both saltwater and a little bit of freshwater fish. Still like this place the best out of the three saltwater stores in NVA
When this same guy worked at Artfully Acrylic I was offered a much better price for the coral. Won't be going back to Capital Aquarium.
Best place ever you can find anything
Went into the store yesterday and bought some snails and a sea urchin. Offered to bring in some frogspawn frags for store credit, and was given the okay.
Today, I drove 30 minutes to bring in 16 heads of frogspawn and was offered a measly $55. The asian guy/manager on duty said that the frags had "brown jelly" coming out of them, and then undercut me. Last I checked, frogspawn looks like jelly, so I am unsure what the issue was here. Attached are the pictures from the colonies I fragged from.
This is my new favorite aquarium store. The guys are super nice, knowledgeable, and pricing is the best I've seen. $1/gallon saltwater, the same $50 power head at petco was $35. They have a large selection of rock, coral, saltwater fish, and even some cichlids. You should check it out if you need a good place. Added some good pics.
40 min drive with traffic from home totally worth it. Best costumer service.
A damn fine establishment lemme tell you h'wat. Rather limited on the fish available but have a reasonable number of frags at an average-good price range. And like any good LFS they always have plenty of RO/DI on hand. But they have awful hours, hard to get there during the week. But 5 stars for staff being very knowledgeable.
