The frag tanks are beautiful. They have both sps and lps frags. They use very high end lighting so the frags have great color. On the fish side after the black Friday sale their saltwater stock was low. Very nice selection of freshwater fish. Tanks were clean and healthy. They had a nice selection of fish you don't often see. read less

Im not new to the hobby for freshwater but I am new to the saltwater hobbie. I want to say to everyone that reads this review, if you do not support this small business you are making a big mistake! The staff and I mean all staff in all 3 locations has gone above and beyond the universe for me and I am truely appreciative for everything. Eli and the other coventry staff are nothing short of AMAZING, and thier knowledge of aquatics is stellar. They take the time to talk about my successes, my failures and my lack of knowledge in my saltwater reef tank and they do not hesitate to pump my breaks when I get ahead of myself sometimes no matter how persistant I can be LOL and I can be. I am currently going through a outbreak of ick in my saltwater display and they have guided me every step of the way without hessitation and worked with me saving me $$$ from day one. Emily at the Groton Conn location all I can say is WOW, I hit the wrong button intending to call Coventry but got this young lady on the phone and she was a wealth of information (my head was spinning when we were done) as is the staff at Coventry. Alex, who set up my setup along with owner Scott also are nothing short of amazing. So if you want knowledge, stellar customer service, top notch products and very well cared for corals and livestock this is the place to go, if you don't check them out you are making a big mistake! read less

But it is similar to many design & build aquarium shops where they focus on their services...
So, no points off for that...

This is perfect if one has no idea how to set up a thriving aquatic environment. This place is expensive, with no doubt. But you are paying for your own development, and will be educated at these types of stores if you choose to do business with them.

It's a boutique level of service with design and build experience vs. a commercial retail environment.

If you want to be like Takashi Amano, this will help you develop the necessary skills.

I personally like the store on the east side for my livestock and ordering directly from a variety of breeders. But these guys seem alright. read less
