Darryl McGrath 7 months ago

Negative experience: Went out to look at this iconic place and was so disappointed and surprised to see the state of some of the fish and tanks. We saw so many dead fish in different tanks and other fish eating what was left of them. The large salt water tank had large fish with what looked like disease over them. We were so surprised to see how this place has gone down in only a few months since we were there before.

Jasmine Mitchell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love all things aquatic and I have been into every aquatic store and this is definitely my favorite. I took my sister there just to look at the plants and she bought a beautiful plant. I've bought most of my fish from them. Lovely people. Lovely place to experience

K 1 year ago

Negative experience: I Spend around $130 on beautiful live plants for my fish tank, Whilst I was cycling my tank I found heaps of tiny snails all came out from the plants. So heads up if you buy aquarium plants from here make sure you check for snails before use, perhaps wash the plants before planting.

Nathan Brown 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant morning out visit. Not only for hubby and I but also our Siamese cat. He could not believe the amount of fish there was.and the huge fish in the extra large tank was amazing. Tsunami March found it fascinating in my arms, looking at all the different types of fish and the mobiles hanging from the ceiling.we could also take our time and not be bothered by the owners so no hounding. Beautiful plants. Wonderful owner's, very accommodating. Clean premises and carpark. Highly recommended business for all your fish needs. Or high quality succulents and rare plant .Also experienced long standing owners of the business. So from Tsu hubby and myself big thankyou.

Fantastic experience: I can't think of a single question about all things aquatic that couldn't be answered at Summerland Aquariums Well organised and very clean which is want you need for the many varieties of fish that you can buy. There is a small but interesting selection of cacti and succulents. Summerland Aquariums is a long time business. You will see why when you visit.

Fantastic experience: I've been dealing with Summerland Aquariums for years. They're a family business - one of those rare entities that that make a business out of their passion rather than it just being something to do to make money. Aquariums are their passion and their art.

Joanne Amy 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely owners and great quality, healthy fish. I've had no casualties from this store (as opposed to a dodgy Ballina fish shop that sells very sick fish). Would definitely buy from Summerland Aquariums again!

jetsue7 8 years ago

Negative experience: Spent $176 purchasing two new glass fish bowls and fish, food etc for our kids, placed bowls on flat tables in kids rooms and within 6 months, both bowls cracked and leaked, less than a week apart. I let the owners know and was told that "the wholesaler said the glass bowls crack due to atmospheric changes, possibly a storm". No offer of total or even partial refund or exchange. I would have been happy if they retained their costs and refunded profit to spend in store. You have my number if you change your mind. Would be fair to say that glass fish tanks purchased from this business should come with a warning that they may crack due to "atmospheric changes" and there is no warranty or refunds.
