For me, it is relaxing in front of my saltwater aquariums. Currently I have my largest salt water aquarium in my home office.
Often times I'm asked by friends about where to get saltwater fish, corals and aquariums in Johnson County, Kansas. Here are my favorites in no particular order.:
-
Reef Rack - Located at 8845 Lenexa Dr, in Overland Park, KS 66214. The Reef Rack.
Pros: Great staff and and great selection of livestock. If you visit ask for the owner, Matt Corona. Great guy and once he knows you he’ll make some awesome recommendations.
Cons: I have not found any yet.
Pros: Good selection of fish and corals. Mission Pet Mart has some of the best prices on corals in Johnson County. The staff is knowledgeable. Occasionally, they will sell you something that might not fit your fish tank. Also have an average assortment of fish supplies and chemicals. I have bought a few fish and coral from Mission Pet Mart and have been happy.
Cons: Very little to any assortment of aquariums. Don't even really have 30 and 55 gallon aquariums on stock. Will offer to special order you an aquarium. Son of owner will custom design a large aquarium, I have been told. I did buy a sea cucumber from Mission Pet Mart. Salesman said that they are relatively harmless. After seeing a sea cucumber wipe out a friends tank, I removed mine from my tank.fish.
Aquarium Wholesale – 132 S Clairborne Rd in Olathe, Kansas ( Santa Fe and Clairborne - Just East of I-35)). I recommend this store, just be cautious when purchasing. You will get better deals is they know you.
Pros: One of the largest selections of fish, corals and used tanks and supplies. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are very reasonable and they like to wheel and deal.
Cons: Know what you want before you head in. They tend to sell you what they have in stock rather than what you need.

Cons: They no longer carry livestock. They only have just a few supplies.
Pros: Honest and Knowledgeable. They ask a lot of questions so they can give you the best advice. I have actually had them refuse to sell me things because I was rushing things and mixing incompatible fish and corals. Great selection of fish, corals and aquariums. I have been incredibly happy with every purchase I have made from them.
Cons: Only real con is prices. I guess their knowledge is worth something.
