Seascape Aquatics Impresses

Seascape Aquatics is located near the corner of N. Union and N. Academy Blvd. - 5038 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80918. Their hours are 11-6 Tues – Friday, 10-6 Saturday, and 12-5 Sunday. They are closed on Mondays. If you have never been to this LFS and live in the area, I recommend you stop by. I call this place a classic LFS. They have both salt and freshwater along with the supplies to go with. Their selection of supplies is surprisingly good for a store this small. They even have a few aquariums for sale. Upon entry the two saltwater display tanks are impossible to miss, they are certainly eye grabbers. Wow!

The livestock is in the back with freshwater on the left and saltwater on the right. A simple layout that works very well. The store has no specialty per se and does a great job with all aspects of the hobby on a small scale. The two display tanks in the front lobby are worth the trip just to see them. The freshwater isle has each tank planted to some degree and the display of the fish, including the lighting is very well done. It is easy to see the fish and it makes the decision of what to buy so much easier. This goes for the saltwater side too, though the selection of coral and inverts is limited.

What makes this LFS so good is the remarkable consistency. For me at least, I like this dependability in a store. As an athlete one of the hardest things to do is remain consistent in your performance and I believe this extends to business. The livestock here are well kept and the supplies easy to find. This is a good solid LFS that I recommend to anyone in the aquarium hobby. In fact, I am raising this LFS to the Best LFS in the Springs. The next LFS I will feature is a raising star, so stay tuned!
