Underwater World in Taunton, MA

Andy, that works there is wicked friendly, he treats steady customers really well. I stop in there all the time. I just wish he would frag a little more of the big corals, they tend to be pricey.
 
Def. check this place out!

I have purchased all of my livestock from Underwater World and havent been disappointed yet. They are all very friendly that work there and give you honest answers instead of just trying to make a sale. My wife says I spend way too much time and money there though! They are the ones who recomended that I check out Bostonreefers.org. So much props to this establishment and I recomend them highly!

I agree this place is great. Greg Ben and Andy are all good guys that try to help you out and answer any questions you have honestly and if you need something they don't have they will get it for you. They have great ORA frags and tons of other livestock like ORA clams at great prices, they also sell RO DI water for those without RO units. Check them out.......Nick
 
I've been there many times and had mixed experiences. Never really a bad one, but never really a great one either. Selection IMO tends to be mediocre at best.. but prices seem about right and health of the stock is generally good.

There are better stores out there in my opinion, but the convenience of this one is nice for me..

One thing that i think it has going for it is the mall location... probably get a lot of walk in traffic that way, and it also helps when trying to convince someone else to go with you because you can do more shopping at the same time.
 
I gotta say that the service there was really good (let me return a coral after a few days). The only issue I have with this store is why do they have a hippo tang in a 30g tank... ??????

yea that's bugged me too, it looks like his face is kinda scarred from the rocks, i could be wrong tho.
 
tang

Actually that hippo tang has long since been removed. I think it was put in there when it was real small and then they had a hard time getting it out as that little tank has a lot of rock and corals in it. It has been removed and placed in a better home from what I heard.
 
I saw that tang in there for quite awhile (def over a year). It really shouldn't have been in there in the first place, LFS should be setting an example to customers by being ethical IMO..

Like I said before though, good staff and good prices, this just irked me

picked up a nice Bottlebrush frag from there last night, some nice color and a good sized frag for a decent price.

as always staff was helpful and full of useful info.
 
i got my tank from them it was ther display 155 bow about 2 yrs ago
nothing but good thing to say about UWW
 
I was just in UWW today Andy and Greg were helpfull and friendly as usual. They just redid their frag rack in the sps tank to fit more corals and it was packed all the frags were at really good prices too. Two thumbs up for UWW.
 
was in there the other day.

Nice place, and pretty convenient for me....

decent selection, and pretty reasonable prices...


they don't have all that many salt tanks though... selection is pretty small compared to other stores. A pretty good store overall, but a step down from other stores (site sponsors) that i've been to recently.
 
i was in the store just the other day bought a few things very healthy great people and imo one of the best stores close to the cape nothing but good to say.
 
02/15/09 my pump craped out on me so i went to UWWto buy one or get parts so i ordered new parts dut still don't have a pump so they lent me a 1500 gph till the part come it how cool are they you don't get any better then that. and just got my bulbs from them
