Absolutely the best Ottawa has to offer!! No kids who don't know what they're talking about like at the big chain, or guys who will sell you anything (even when it's not right for your tank) like other smaller stores. I have been in the hobby for a year and a half and have a thriving mixed reef tank thanks to Mark and Keith! Really amazing advice (and selection), couldn't ask for better. They're crazy honest...rare in a world where money is usually the deciding factor. I spend a lot of time researching on the big online reef forums and have heard so many nightmares about bad LFS's...not these guys! Shout out to Gord as well who fills in from time to time...they even hooked me up with a guy who will tend my tank when I'm gone for long periods...and soon to be working on a custom tank with them. One stop shop...no-one offers service like that these days. Guaranteed you won't be disappointed!

This store is a disgrace. I have never seen such a filthy aquarium store in my life. Every tank is full of pest algae and aptasia. (Thanks by the way - can I have that Aptasia-X on the house?) The displays are in disrepair. Marine fish in a display better suited for betas? Meanwhile, the two guys running the store sit around and chat while they really should be maintaining the homes for these animals. Over the past 18 months I’ve seen the slide further downwards; time to shut it down guys - you’ve lost interest in your business and the welfare of the animals that you keep. I’m really shocked at the other ratings - what a bunch of uninformed ‘me-too’ reviews.

I have nothing but great things to say about Marinescape. Keith and Mark are extremely helpful and are always willing to answer your questions. They have no problem helping newbies by offering beginner corals, advice, and years of knowledge. If you've been in the hobby for a few years and are looking for specific things, ask them if they can get it... If they can't, they'll give you a few places they know of that might be able to. As always, they have the best coral selection in the city.

I love privately owned stores. I needed special silicone your adhesive that was safe to use in aquariums, and they had it in stock. I called a store closer to me, and their version of this product cost exactly twice as much, and they were a chain. Needless to say, I purchased the product, and it was exactly what I needed. One if the owners did the transaction, and he was very friendly and answers my questions. I recommend them to anyone looking for anything to do with aquariums.

This is an amazing resource for the marine aquairum community in Ottawa. The owners and staff are exceptionally approchable. They provide advice and share stories with clients in a way that makes it feel like an exclusive club, instead of a store. They offer weekly bulk pricing on clean up crew and will only stock fish and invertibrates that are appropriate for amateur aquarists. They clearly care about the hobby and it's my pleasure to visit as often as i can.

I completely don't understand all those 4 + stars for this shop. In my opinion, it is the worst Aquarium shop ever I have seen in my life. Everything is desorganised, dirty , non well maintain, with no price labels... with salt growing all around the aquariums. There is almost no choices and the guy who seems the owner barely talk to you. They are so better out there. Pls, do yourself a favor, don't take the time to visit that place, go elsewhere.

Contacted the store and talked to Lisa via email a bunch of time to get some things special ordered. She was a great help. And that was before I'd even been to the store the first time. Went today to pick up the order and it looks great in there! Staff is friendly, tanks are gorgeous. Just wish I had a bigger tank at home right now to take some of those corals and fish home with me.

I'm still a newbie with marine aquariums so i do have a lot of questions and running to a lot of 'common newbie problems'. they are very helpful and took the time to help me out. if something wasn't working, i went in and they offered me possible solutions. They stock pretty much everything you need and their products are great! nice choice to corals/fish.

Stopped in to have a chat and look around. I am new to salt water tanks and the owners were both there to answer all questions and were happy to show me and point me into the right direction. I will be back tomorrow to start purchasing items. I love to support local smaller shops! Thank you so much.

Great people that work there. Very helpful. Very patient. Very educated. Great selection always. Amazing healthy coral collection too. For someone new to the hobby they have been more than helpful and always give me advice even if it means they don't sell product.

This place is amazing, they are super helpful and will take their time explaining to you everything you need to know while being happy about it! Super knowledgeable and humble workers! Thanks again for the super healthy fishes! Did i mention they are amazing yet?

Service is great! They always answer my questions and guide me through step by step on how to have a successful salt water fish tank. I have never had a problem with their livestock or products. I was recommended and I would recommend Marine Scape to others.

Cette place est extrêmement mal propre attention, Beaucoup de coraux avec des prix trop chère vu leur état de santé déplorable. Le personnel ma expliqué que présentement leur économie ne tourne pas très bien....à mon avis cela ne Vaud pas le détour!

This store has always been one of the best saltwater stores in Ottawa. The new owners have done an incredible job of cleaning and updating it. The staff is incredibly helpful and most importantly knowledgeable. The corals and fish are

Super service, James et Marc sont toujours la pour répondre a nos questions, ils prennent le temps de bien répondre. Nous sommes très satisfait des poissons et coraux que nous avons acheté, ils sont en bonne santé

Knows alot on coral aspect good selection of various types of coral and some fish but as of late hard to get fish in witch is ok for now very friendly clean shop Fair prices looking forward to doing more business

You won't find any better selection of healthy coral (especially SPS) in Ottawa, period. The guys that work here are super knowledgable, and will gladly talk through any issue or question you have.

Want to get into the marine aquarium hobby for keeps? Go here. The staff will provide on the spot consultation with every purchase. Locally produced corals and imports too. A hidden gem in Ottawa.

Ok, this place is a niche for saltwater aquariasts. These guys know their stuff and sell healthy specimens. Their advice has prevented a lot of mishaps in the hobby which is can be very costly.

Very cool store, huge collection and variety of fish and coral. Staff seemed very friendly and helpful. However keep in mind they only have products for salt water tanks, nothing freshwater.

Excellent service! James and Mark offer a really good service. The shop is clean, the fishs and corals are in good shape and just beautiful. Marinescape est notre magasin préféré!

Nice little marine aquarium shop with a good veriety of corals. They tend to be rather pricey, but everything is proven healthy. Great knowledgable customer service.
