Aquarium Xpress

Tucked away in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, Aquarium Xpress is a small operation with a big reputation, built largely on the expertise and genuine passion of owner Dave (David). This isn't a sprawling big-box pet department — it's a hands-on, livestock-focused shop where every tank is meticulously maintained, pest-free, and stocked with vibrant, healthy animals. Saltwater enthusiasts will find the coral selection particularly impressive.

Customers consistently rave about the color and health of the coral, with one reviewer noting that their new pieces made existing coral in their home tank look dull by comparison. After proper acclimation, corals reportedly open and color up within minutes — a testament to how well the livestock is cared for before it ever leaves the shop. Anemones, reef fish, and shrimp are also part of the inventory, and Dave's knowledge of saltwater and reef systems has made Aquarium Xpress an invaluable resource for newcomers to the hobby.

But it's not just saltwater. Dave also supports freshwater setups and even outdoor pond owners. One customer who inherited a house with both a large fish tank and a pond found Dave instrumental in getting everything running smoothly.

That kind of personalized, responsive service defines the Aquarium Xpress experience. Beyond livestock sales, Dave offers tank maintenance and cleaning services — and customers are thrilled about it. From emergency cleanups (like an entire container of fish food dumped by a curious child) to ongoing scheduled maintenance, he handles it all with professionalism and good humor.

Tank setup guidance is another strong suit; Dave walks customers through cycling, bacteria buildup, and stocking timelines with real expertise. Pricing is consistently praised as fair, and the level of care and knowledge Dave brings to every interaction keeps customers coming back. For aquarists in the Lewisberry area looking for quality coral, healthy fish, and a shopkeeper who treats your tank like his own, Aquarium Xpress delivers.
