About Us

We are located at 3511 Witherspoon Blvd. Suite 101 Durham NC 27707. Here at Triangle Aquariums we provide aquariums, aquatic livestock, equipment, and tank maintenance services for the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area. Our main priorities are quality and service. 

 

A large portion of our aquarium livestock is aquacultured. Livestock that has been produced outside of a wild environment has a much higher likelihood of remaining pest and disease free. This directly leads to an increased level of customer success and reduces the negative impact on our environment.

 

We use several quarantine procedures in the shop on fish and coral collected from the wild. All of our systems are marked with the appropriate tag indicating what the fish has received, and or is receiving. High dollar fish receive copper and formalin quarantine treatment before being made available in the store. More affordable fish prone to disease will receive treatment on the floor as needed. There will also be separate systems for animals sensitive to certain medications. For example, wrasse and scaleless fish like sharks and rays are very sensitive to copper, these animals will only receive anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and dewormer as needed. 

Our Staff:

Amber's favorite things to do in the shop are taking care of the animals, photography, and sharing her love of the hobby. Especially with our youngest enthusiast. She has a tremendous level of compassion for all living things. If you want good insight into the feeding habits or other behaviors of our livestock, she is a wealth of information. Amber has nine years of experience in the hobby

 

Lee has always had a fascination for animals, admiring a good lizard or neat beetle since he can remember. 25 years ago Lee's father gifted a 29 gallon hand me down aquarium from his college days. Since then, Lee has never looked back. He is extremely interested in stability and biological processes. Constantly looking to create new beautiful, and self-sufficient ecosystems. He specializes in his knowledge of aquatic life, as well as the chemistry and biological processes behind what makes even the most difficult coral and planted tanks successful.
