Capital Aquarium - Aquarium shop in Manassas - 8825 Commerce Ct, USA

Small store and it's in a sort of hidden location, but they have some unique offerings and are very helpful and personable. They seem more geared toward the service side, which I am not familiar with, but the retail offerings are solid and varied for a small location. Everything I've gotten from them has been healthy.

This is my new favorite aquarium store. The guys are super nice, knowledgeable, and pricing is the best I've seen. $1/gallon saltwater, the same $50 power head at petco was $35. They have a large selection of rock, coral, saltwater fish, and even some cichlids. You should check it out if you need a good place. Added some good pics. 11/24/17 update- they’ve updated the store a bit and added some more frag tanks. I think they have the most affordable largest selection of coral frags in the NVA area - carry both saltwater and a little bit of freshwater fish. Still like this place the best out of the three saltwater stores in NVA

Great help, even with our tiny new aquarium. Clearly a shop with significant resources of knowledge and supplies to help so levels of enthusiasts.

Staff members are friendly and very helpful with my aquarium questions

Excellent experience and quality Oscellaris. Beautiful selection of salt water and fresh water creatures.

Went into the store yesterday and bought some snails and a sea urchin. Offered to bring in some frogspawn frags for store credit, and was given the okay. Today, I drove 30 minutes to bring in 16 heads of frogspawn and was offered a measly $55. The asian guy/manager on duty said that the frags had "brown jelly" coming out of them, and then undercut me. Last I checked, frogspawn looks like jelly, so I am unsure what the issue was here. Attached are the pictures from the colonies I fragged from. When this same guy worked at Artfully Acrylic I was offered a much better price for the coral. Won't be going back to Capital Aquarium.

Quaint and simple shop. The two people working (a man with long hair and a woman with longer hair) were amazing. Super helpful and even showed my kids around to involve them with our visit. The livestock selection wasnt as great as I wanted, but for my wallets sake it was probably a good thing. Corals were great and had a great selection. Overall great store and would recommend them to anyone. Will be back soon!

Very good Experience" Staff was very helpful, Zach is very awesome". So I had a issue with my tank because I had a different service. I called the capital aquarium, Zach come over at the same day take a look my tank, and gave good suggestion as well. They change half of the water from my tank, and it all goods now. We went to their stores, customer service is awesome. They have a good variety of coral and fishes. I like their service, this people are awesome and store is very good and awesome too.
