Aquatic Art may not be on the radar for Saltwater hobbyists here on the front range because they are only open on the weekend and rely on word of mouth to advertise. If you are into corals or any type of saltwater set up, you should put this store on your LFS crawl list. They have everything you need for your saltwater setup including seawater premixed. I highly recommend visiting this store at least once, even if you are not keeping a saltwater aquarium. They have a huge museum quality 500ish gallon display tank right up front which is worth the visit all by itself.
They are located in Highlands Ranch, CO 80129. It is a bit hard to find the first time, at least it was for me. Go south on 85 off I470 to W. Town Center Dr. then turn rt onto Commerce Center St. and go to the end and turn rt it is down on the right. It is sort of behind the Burger King in a complex of warehouses. Their hours are 11-6 Friday and Saturday or by appointment. The website is linked above, and I recommend you read over that before going, it is very well done. The retail store is just part of their business as they do professional installations, maintenance, consulting, online sales and many others.
Since I have limited experience with Saltwater, I will not attempt to make any specific comments on their stock, except to say they have the largest coral selection I have seen anywhere in CO. Their fish look healthy and happy, so I would not hesitate to buy from them. The prices are competitive too, so what’s not to love about this store? Besides the hours and location, I cannot find any negatives with this LFS. I was asked if I need help about 5 times in the first 10 minutes of being in the store, so the service seems top notch. There were several people just hanging out talking corals and whatnot so that too can be a plus if you are looking for others who are into this hobby. I get a comfortable positive vibe here, so do yourself a favor and check them out.
