The Love Aquarium

Coming along nicely! More paint to come tomorrow, then a couple more touches and you can come enjoy for yourself! #theloveaquarium #painting #new #room #octopus @daveyantsigns

New fish, new plants, new corals, new wood.. i can hardly keep track of it all. Come take it all so I don't have to think too much about it! #theloveaquarium #ghostglasscatsofinstagram #new #fish #love #nature

First coat down! Rolled on some sweet blue epoxy today for our new room at the shop, so things will be moving right along. Second coat, wall mural, moving in all the tanks for sale, and then we'll bust through the wall! See you in there soon! #theloveaquarium #love #aquariums

Happy new years! We're closed today, New Years Day, so we can all take some time to think about how to make 2021 better than 2020. More vegetables, probably. #theloveaquarium #seeyouinhell2020 #worstyearever #newyears #makeitagoodone #believeandachieve

10% off all new tanks this weekend! Now is the time to pick up that tank you've been eyeballing all year and make your wet dreams come true. Like, aquascaping i mean... we still have a few gems as far as used tanks go too. Start that reef, get your nature scape on or witness the miracle of life! A tank is only a blank canvas. Make your mark and express yourself! #theloveaquarium #makingwetdreamscometrueonetankatatime #sale #tank #aquarium #reef #reeftank #aquascape #sandiego #escondido

Help us help others! We've joined up with the San Diego Food Bank this month for their Scare Away Hunger Peanut Butter Drive. Peanut butter is tasty, nutritious, versatile and kids love it! Please bring by some peanut butter donations (we're also accepting other food items too) And help us fill this 60 gallon cube tank this month. The QR code can also be scanned and will lead you to our online donation portal where you can purchase items virtually, or just donate. #theloveaquarium #sandiegofoodbank #sandiego #help #donate #peanutbutter #love #aquariums

New corals from @eyecatchingcoral , new tanks, plants and goodies from @ultumnaturesystems , new wood, and a bunch of new fish this week... lots of things to create a fresh new vibe in your little glass box. Remember, the possibilities are endless! Dare to explore them! #theloveaquarium #explore #coral #plants #aquarium #livingart #nature #fish #createyourreality

Corals 20% off or more this weekend! Get 'em while they're wet!

Closed for labor day! Back to normal hours Tuesday, if the world doesn't melt first...

Next 2 projects: Upgrade our frag tanks, and step up the discus game! Taller, more open stands mean we can maintain the frag systems more easily, in addition to getting more access around the actual displays, since they're only half accessible at the moment. The new discus tank will be a lovely 75 tall with an overflow on the end, so so we can have it visible from both sides of the aisle, and of course fit in some new beautiful discus! Hopefully both upgrades will be up and running within the next 2 weeks! #theloveaquarium #homeimprovement #frags #discusfish #litchili

Can't believe it took me so long to post this but phase 1 of the first shop improvement project is done! @daveyantsigns has been a customer with us for decades, and we started working together last year when we had him design our TLA shirts. He normally does signs and windows, so of course we asked him to doll up our store front! I think it looks awesome and adds to the unique vibe of The Love Aquarium! Updates on other new improvement projects coming soon!

Our superfly hats are back in stock but going fast! Show your love for fish and fashion by rocking it everyday until it disintegrates. However, due to the high quality, they'll probably last you forever. #theloveaquarium #love #aquarium #forever #hat #fashion #magnum #bluesteel #primeribofpropecia

Open til 6:30 today! It's been a long weird few months but we're finally returning to normal store hours again. 10:30 to 6:30, Monday through Saturday and 11 to 6 on sundays. Stop on in. We miss you and we know you miss us too. #theloveaquarium #welcomeback #returnofthejedi #returnofthemack #returntosender #love #aquarium #love #love #love #love

Our doors are opening! I know many of you have felt like this lately, stuck in a box, all masked up and nowhere to go. But we're going to start letting you beautiful fish freaks back into the store tomorrow, Saturday the 23rd! We will limit the number of people in the shop at a time, masks ARE required, and we will still be doing curbside service for anyone who doesn't want to wait to come in. It will be a new experiment for us, so I thank you in advance for your patience. We look forward to seeing you folks INSIDE the shop tomorrow! And yes, that's me in a giant aquarium. #theloveaquarium #letmein #mask #required #evenpotus #follow #guidelines #or #nofishforyou #welcomeback

Just got some new salty darlings today! Some of the best spotted mandarins we've seen, maybe ever, gold and scribbled rabbitfish, lawnmower blennys, more clean up critters, urchins, and another sargassum angler! Stop and scoop something for your tank soon, 'cause these things don't stick around for long! #theloveaquarium #new #fish #salty #darlings #spot #spotted #spotify #mandarin #goby #angler #rabbit #clean #hashtag @ The Love Aquarium
