Acuarios Boardroom

Experiencia fantástica: Mark, Frank and the crew are amazing. They've helped me along the path to an amazing saltwater tank. They're eager to answer questions and provide support. I highly recommend Boardroom Aquariums.

Experiencia fantástica: Haven't found anyone better versed than Boardroom Aquariums. They know their stuff and don't oversell what you don't need.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome and very clean place. Very nice and helpful employees.

Experiencia fantástica: Really awesome local selection. Much nicer than big box retailers. Thank you, Tyler in particular. Excellent knowledge, friendly, and prompt service. See you soon

Experiencia fantástica: Coolest place around! Owner and all employees are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: great place allways helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable and very helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Great place very nice people and helpful! Highly recommend this store .

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic inventory and an extremely knowledgeable staff. If you’re serious about aquariums, these are the people you need to talk to.

Experiencia fantástica: Boardroom is the best aquarium store in Cape Coral and fort myers! Their fish are healthy and the staff is always super helpful. They have a buffet of tropical and freshwater fish to choose from as well as hard corals, anemones, shrimp, clams and more!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Great customer service. The staff goes beyond with their knowledge about aquarium fish. Spent over an hour here but was worth it. I love this place. There's no better place for your aquarium needs. And I've been to many. Thank you for the great experience at your store.

Experiencia fantástica: The ultimate aquarium consultants. They know what they’re doing and we rely on them weekly to ensure our reef tank is up to speed. 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: Staff always takes time to answer questions and works to help with any problems you have

Experiencia fantástica: The staff here is SO knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are affordable too, we will be back!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great experience at their shop. Mark and staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Their tanks and facilities are always clean with healthy fish and corals. You can see the care taken to be sure all are healthy and well cared for. Highest recommendation and an asset to the hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: I stopped by Boardroom for the first time today, after accidentally coming across the name on Google the night before and I'm glad I did. Upon walking in, I could tell this was going to be a good visit. The store has a nice layout with tanks along the perimeter and huge product selection in the center..and I didn't have to walk through water on the floor like every other local store I've visited. The prices are very reasonable, which makes it easy to support a local business. I found a piece of driftwood that I liked for a Cichlid tank that I'm setting up. I had no idea that driftwood lowered pH levels and was told this would not be ideal. Any other store would have sold me the wood to make a sale. You can't beat Boardroom! I will be returning

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome store, with a great variety of different fish salt and fresh, and plant/coral. Employees are extremely knowledgeable, and very willing to help.

Experiencia positiva: Great folks. Pretty solid selection.

Experiencia fantástica: Very good selection and very friendly and helpful owner and staff

Experiencia fantástica: A lovely selection of fish, coral, and aquarium supplies, I've never had a bad buy from here.

Experiencia fantástica: I bought a few anthias and a foxface, all acclimated very quickly and we're eating in minutes. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful! Will definitely return!

Experiencia fantástica: Great store. Very knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Took my best friend and his three kids here for the first time last week. I just got done shopping there today. I have to say that out of all the reef and freshwater centered aquarium hobby shops in the area; Cape Coral included, this is probably the best shop. Not because they have the best selection, not because they have the highest end equipment. But because they have the best owners, the best pricing and the most patient staff who are actually willing to help you and spend time answering your questions, and will guide you if you’re willing to listen. For the every day hobbyist, from beginner to expert the store has a lot to offer, both in terms of livestock and accessories. It’s not pretentious and it’s certainly not overpriced.

Experiencia negativa: They have a great range of salt and freshwater and overall pleasant people to deal with. Unfortunately I purchased some Jumbo Neon Tetras, a betta and plants recently and I’m now dealing with a bad case of Ich. 4/5 tetras have now passed as well as one of my Kuhli loaches, I’m now trying to save the last tetra, betta and the rest of my Kuhlis. Be careful with fish from here make sure to quarantine them properly before adding to a tank.

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Experiencia negativa: I’ve never done this before but this is a time I will. *Long rant coming* When I lived in St Pete I went to my usual fish store to get my saltwater for my tanks. (I have two saltwater fish tanks that I’ve been very successful with.) Before I moved to fort myers I got saltwater from my usual pet store to use when I got down here. Tanks were reset back up. Everything looked great and thriving and happy. I do my water changes regularly for these tanks to maintain the happy environment for my corals and fish. I recently went to Boardroom Aquatics to get my saltwater on 7/19/2024. I did my normal water change as I regularly do. The following day I noticed my octospawn, anemones, and mushroom were all acting weird. I started to do my water tests to see if any of my levels were high to resolve the issue. All tests came back excellent and no levels spiked to cause my corals to start acting weird. The last thing was for me to check the salinity of the saltwater that I just put into the tank. I checked the salinity of my tank and it was WAY too high. The salinity of my tanks sit at 1.024-1.026, the test results were sitting at 1.031. It may not seem like a drastic difference, but it is. I tested the saltwater that they sold me and it was sitting at 1.030 when they GUARANTEED that their salinity sits at 1.024 (hence why I went there). I called Boardroom Aquatics and informed them that the water they sold me was high in salinity and caused my corals to melt away and die. Once again I was told they keep their salinity at 1.024 and that I was doing the test wrong and getting false readings. They informed me to bring in a water sample into the store for them to test. So I did. ‍♂️ MARK started doing his test that I had done prior and got the SAME results as I did INCLUDING the high salinity level. He kept telling me that he was at a loss cause he doesn’t know what was going on in my tank to figure out why my corals have died. He told me there was room for human error, when I did the same I’ve always done when doing water changes and NEVER had any casualties. After going back and forth with the man, I walked out cause I just lost over $700 worth of corals in ONE tank. Mark was talking at me and not to me, he wasn’t willing to accept that HIS business had made a mistake and wasn’t willing to do anything to make it right. He kept trying to push the issue back onto me, when my boyfriends a marine biologist and has told me what to do when it comes to the tanks to make sure they stay happy and healthy. My boyfriends also had MANY saltwater tanks and has even had a saltwater fish business. The level on unprofessionalism that happened today was not cute, cool, or even remotely acceptable. No accountably on his end what’s so ever. Needless to say, I will never step into that store again. I will never recommend that establishment nor will I ever give them a penny. If you know anything about saltwater tanks; corals, fish, invertebrates are NOT cheap. The two anemones that melted and died due to this equal $600. Not to mention the other corals that I’ve lost. Terrible business ethics and unprofessionalism endured.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great selection of both fresh and saltwater livestock/supplies !

Experiencia fantástica: Great costumer service healthy happy fish great prices and great selection they were friendly and even gave me a crab for free I love this fish store and it's my favorite I've been too btw people who go to other fish store go give bad reviews to other fish stores so that's why there are some bad reviews they'll do it for brownie points basically to boost there store and bring others down but all that aside from that this is the best fish store around and it's really nice they even have a station so you can grab rocks and melake your own aqua scape so you know which pieces you want to buy and they also get rare common and just about any fish you wanna find they have the discus cichlids gem tang even i would definitely recommend this store it's awesome.

Experiencia positiva: We went looking for ghost and cherry shrimp, found what we were looking for and more. Helpful staff and a great selection in a "hole in the wall" type place. On a side street, so it takes some looking but it's worth the effort.

Experiencia fantástica: 5/5 stars! I came in with concerns about a sick cichlid and both Frank and the owner have been an invaluable resource with recommendations that have helped bring my fish back up to normal. Will be exclusively going here for all of my local aquarium needs. You've won my support and loyalty!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesomeness customer service!!! Great guys!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best healthy fish by far. Have many unique fish and beautiful tanks. Their saltwater tanks are amazing! I am a freshwater aquarium person. Great live plants too

Experiencia fantástica: Best prices in the area tons of knowledge highly recommend

Experiencia positiva: There coral is nice. Not many salt water fish. I sid pick up a coral

Experiencia fantástica: A year ago I bought a Betta from this shop, Betta is still going strong and has grown. Healthy fish. Beautiful fish also. I switched out to a 10 gallon tank and went into the store today, to pick up some different food for my Betta, and to ask some questions about my Betta, his tank and looked into getting some Loach fish. Josh helped me out big time. Gave me a lot of knowledge about my tank and Betta's. Helped me pick out three loach's for the tank. Talked more about the filter I had, and decided to switch out to a bubbler type filter that sits on the bottom. Works awesome and my Betta loves the bubbles and is more active. Was super easy to set up and Josh showed me how to set it all up., as I'm not use to those type filters. Josh has a very pleasant personality and was very helpful with his knowledge. This is definitely the only aquarium store I will shop. Best place in SWFL surrounding areas. Great prices and nice people. Thanks Josh and Boardroom Aquariums! Would give 10 stars if could.

Experiencia fantástica: As a new tank owner, it's really comforting to be able to ask a lot of questions! Everyone here is so helpful and patient. Sophia is the go to for freshwater fish, but all of the employees are passionate about fish. You can tell they love their job and it's consistently been the same helpful team!

Experiencia fantástica: Very healthy fish and corals with great customer service highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Great store. Great service. Prices affordable. Recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: While visiting, there was this fish who I distinctly heard say, "I love it here!", and I was like, "Me too, little guy. Me too". It's a 45 minute drive from my house, but it's worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: So very knowledgeable and genuinely concerned about our aquarium. Mark, the owner, does not hesitate to share his vast knowledge, nor do his topnotch associates Sophia, Josh and Frank. They have gone over and above for us

Experiencia fantástica: The best fish store in Fort myers.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection. Clean aquariums. Friendly and courteous staff. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: The most awesome tanks I've ever seen! Great place for all supplies. Friendly service & knowledgeable people.

Experiencia positiva: Great and friendly staff great selection of corals not a large selection of fish if they had more fish id give it a 5 star everything in here is amazing and well worth you checking it out

Experiencia fantástica: Boardroom has some of the most helpful staff in the hobby. Do you have an undiagnosed problem with your reef tank? The team at Boardroom will ask in depth questions and get to the bottom of the problem without the goal of solely pushing their stock. Almost as if they care about your aquarium as much as you do. Probably more. In addition, they have a healthy stock of corals, fish, and any accessories or additives you might need for your tanks. From experts, to new in the hobby, they can help you. Highly recommend. Best in SWFL.

Experiencia fantástica: Recently in town for an installation and I was very thankful to find Boardroom they had almost all the parts I was shorted and a particularly nice selection of loc-line parts. The displays were sweet and so was the staff.

Experiencia negativa: They sold me the 2 plant eating snails with my new plants. My whole tank is ruined. The plants I did buy, delivered tons of baby pest snails. The employee misinformed me on every question we asked. Kinda upsetting. I was hoping to love this place. Two employees told me completely opposite things which I guess is fine because everyone has opinions. I'll do more research myself before purchasing next time. Thanks for listening.

Experiencia fantástica: Great little store with an amazing selection of really nice fish and corals. Josh is also very knowledgeable about the products and the hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place .The first time they gave me 30 gallons of fresh water for free just because I was there 10 mins without help .Thought it was great so I went back the second time .Great service

Experiencia fantástica: Great people and great supplies. Highly recommend that you come here for any tank necessities.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable and helpful store

Experiencia fantástica: Has more frags now! Awesome store and even better staff then before! Always willing to help!! Best aquarium store in the county!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to get new fish and supplies very knowledgeable and clean place

Experiencia fantástica: Best place EVER! Owner is very helpful and knowledgeable! I never go anywhere else for my aquarium needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice store with a nice selection of salt water fish and corals.

Experiencia positiva: I spend a good amount of time with the salesman Josh. He was so knowledgeable. He took the time to explain so much so I may make good choices, we will return for our saltwater needs

Experiencia fantástica: I visited every single aquarium store in fort myers and Cape Coral this past week being new to the hobby. All I can say is nothing beats the knowledge the owner mark has to offer. From recommendations on fish choice down to understanding water chemistry that’s safe for fish and corals. Personally I’m the type of person to ask questions and mark offered all of the answers with a smile. Would recommend visiting this place and poking around.

Experiencia negativa: I just left. I stood around for 10 minutes trying to get help to buy a blue African Ciclid,and no one seemed motivated to help. There was a young lady at the register,who looked right at me,but decided not to come over. So I finally just left....And I see a worker outside on his phone. Smh. I probably won't be back. Place is far too expensive to receive shi*ty service. Ill just order online going forward.

Experiencia fantástica: I love going into Boardroom. Mark the owner is very knowledgeable.The store is very clean. All the tanks and fish look healthy and happy. Mark is always willing to help with any questions I have for my fresh and saltwater tanks. Frank and Sophia are amazing! water testing there is worth every penny. I appreciate that they never push unnecessary products. The staff there is honest and the store is always stocked every week. I can’t wait to see all the new tanks in store and look forward to being a long term customer.

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the best place place to shop, due to mark the owner and his incredible staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place with very knowledgeable and helpful staff! Frank spent a lot of time educating us on proper tank management and the plants. They also have great selection of fish! Great stor!

Experiencia fantástica: Mark is my guy love his store and the staff. In my opinion best store to go to

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice and knowledgeable staff. Best place around for your lil fishys.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection and very knowledgeable staff

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of saltwater and freshwater stuff, beautiful clean tanks and healthy fish! Lots of really cool saltwater coral and fish, lots of different types of clownfish and cool saltwater shrimps and invertebrates. They were lacking a bit in variety of freshwater fish but the friendly staff informed us it was because we were there the day before they get thier shipment of freshwater fish in so it was a little picked over. Just wish the prices/names of fish were better displayed so we didnt have to bother the employees so much but other than that, this place is great! Got 5 guppies and they are happy and thriving in my tank!

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable staff. Great fish lots of variety. The fish are very hardy you an tell they take great care of their fish. I get a lot of my fish there.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for saltwater or fresh water fish! Mark really knows his stuff. He can custom order anything you can think of!

Experiencia fantástica: Great Selection along with great customer service.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place it never disappoints!!!! Healthy fish and a wide variety of them as well always has very informative staff. I enjoy coming here!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is the best in the area. The owner and staff are super knowledgeable and really care about their customers. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Mark and the entire staff really know what there talking about. Great place.

Experiencia fantástica: Very knowledgeable here. Everyone seems to want to help answer any questions you have. Fair prices, great selection! You can tell they love what they do here!

Experiencia fantástica: Can't wait to return and purchase fresh and saltwater aquariums! Their's are beautiful! The clearest water in any aquarium I have ever seen!

Experiencia fantástica: Nice place and very informative staff they are helping me and my family get a new aquarium started the right way

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome spot. Lots of great info. Incredible selection of fish and fauna.

Experiencia fantástica: My girlfriend n i went in because her freshwater tank was having major issues and we learned more in the 20/25 ish minutes we spent with the owner than we ever would in any other store. We will be going back from here on out. Couldn't ask for a better store and people to trust with our fish tanks.

Experiencia positiva: Usually enjoy going to this place. It is a hit or a miss if they are going to help you when you go in, but the fish are healthy

Experiencia fantástica: everyone that works there is knowledgeable beautiful fish beautiful tanks Mark is the best

Experiencia fantástica: We love to come here every weekend, look at all the fish and plants and ask as many questions we need!! Mark the owner is very knowledgeable and actually cares about helping!! Definitely recommend

Experiencia fantástica: This owner knows his fish and aquariums . Got everything I needed to do a Refugium tank. And I will go back again and again for his expertise. If you're looking for saltwater fish Mark knows his fish . You should check them out. I always go back. Love this store and his knowledge

Experiencia fantástica: Very good aquarium store. Nice selection of fish and plants.

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely knowledgeable And skilled at educating His customers

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff. Very helpful and happy to speak with you about your aquarium. Always a good selection of fish. 5 stars for sure.

Experiencia negativa: The selection here is not any better than the other local fish stores and the service is infinitely worse. I’ve come here and had the exact same experience too many times. Take your business elsewhere.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great place for all of your aquarium needs

Experiencia fantástica: Great shop great people great live stock.

Experiencia fantástica: If you have ever had an aquarium in your life, stop in here. Simply amazing to see all of this in one place! I have an older brother who would absolutely loose his mind and quite possibly his savings account here. Knowing that you can build whatever size aquarium you can afford here is tempting but always keep in mind that it requires a lot of attention & upkeep. Just like if you purchased any animal that is relying on you for everything to stay alive and healthy. Cool place & will return when I have the time and means to support a tank full of fishies. Now, fresh or saltwater? Plenty of time to decide. Oh yeah, the people are nice & know their stuff!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection... friendly And knowledgeable staff. Fair Prices...would go again or recommend yes

Experiencia fantástica: Mark and his very knowledgeable staff are always there to figure out any problem and really go the extra mile. I’ve been into fish most of my life, but even experienced fish keepers have problems and I was totally stumped 3-4months after rehoming my discus and setting up a planted 125 gal. They pinpointed my problem with by testing my water with more advanced testing than API test kit and had me up and running in no time. I’ve learned and continue to learn more about the hobby I love. That’s why I drive 50 minutes one way to get there. Mark also drove the 50 minutes to bring and set up my 125 g tank and he is a perfectionist. Would you want anything else when dealing with 125 gallons? I didn’t know Mark very well at their previous location as he was always busy with the salties, but since I’ve gotten to know him, I’ve found him to be honest, well versed in all aspects of fish keeping and always there for me. He once met me on his way home to bring me medication for a sick tank I needed to treat ASAP. I still tease him about the drug deal we made in the parking lot that night. LOL Whether your a newbie, an old salt or somewhere in between, you won’t find a better place than Boardroom Aquariums.

Experiencia fantástica: I wish I can give more than 5 stars!! I’ve been coming here for over 2 years. The owner is very knowledgeable and has helped me start a freshwater tank and now I have moved onto a saltwater tank. He came to my home to fill up my tank and is currently assisting me on building up my saltwater tank. Every single time I go to his store he gives me his full attention no matter how many people are in the store. I have gone to other local stores and NO ONE else does that or can beat the quality, service and professionalism. The store is always clean no matter what time of day you go. All tanks look healthy and clean. I only plan on going to this store as long as I’m in this hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: They helped us fix an algae issue in our 125 gallon tank by suggesting a Fosfate remover they had along with some Apple Snails. Their tanks are very clean and well maintained. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: The most knowledgeable staff in town!

Experiencia fantástica: Best aquarium store in lee county.

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful n knowledgeable Well maintained n lots of choices

Experiencia fantástica: Mark is always so patient with my million questions and helps me strive to be a better fish keeper.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is an excellent aquarium store. Very knowledgeable staff. I’ll never go to a chain pet store again and that includes many non-chains

Experiencia fantástica: I have never had better service at any aquarium shop anywhere in my life than I had at the Boardroom. It is the same every time I go. These guys just want to help and they know fish.

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpfull and fish are in great health

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection and the staff is way more friendly and knowledgeable at the new location. Very clean and healthy tanks!

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff that is very knowledgeable and ready to help you. I go to this aquarium store as my fish doctor store, they've help keep my multiple aquariums healthy and happy and that makes me happy! Would definitely recommend to friends!
