My name is Andrew and I am the owner of Advanced Marine Aquatics (AMA). I have been a member of Manhattan Reefs since 2011 and I have met some great friends through this community. I began this hobby at 8 years old and started off by tinkering with small guppy tanks. As it has for most of us in this hobby, this has turned into a lifelong passion of mine and I have not looked back since.
I opened AMA with the hobbyist in mind. My main goal was to open a store where the fish are healthy and well taken care of. I also envisioned opening a store where the staff aren’t pressuring you or giving you false information. We, at AMA, believe in doing things the right way and are not in it to make a quick buck. I cannot and will not in good conscience sell you something that just came off of a 15-hour plane ride to put straight into your tank. After working at other shops, I wanted to do things my way. Any real hobbyist can appreciate that.
