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 it. Their selection of supplies is surprisingly good for a store this small. They even have a few aquariums for sale. Nothing much has changed since my last visit in 2022. Consistency is a sign of greatness. I know in this world of change; we are taught to expect change at every turn, so it's nice to have a familiar place to visit.
The livestock is still 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. Check out my photos below. In the freshwater isle I like that each tank is planted to some degree. 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. Not much to critic here, so let’s move on.
This is the fifth time I have visited Seascape Aquatics, so while the fish selection here at Seascape varies a bit as does the plants, the rest of the store is remarkably consistent. I will say, they do have a very nice selection of saltwater fish which can be difficult to find in a LFS. The livestock here are well kept and the supplies easy to find. This is a good solid LFS which I recommend to anyone in the aquarium hobby.
