Your Milage May Very.
I have been to all of those except for AG, and all I can really say is that it's a good thing I don't live in the city. I would be pennyless ..
Red Coral is another interesting place to check out.

Aquarium Illusions has been around for many years by the Mayfeild Inn. It's only ever had the one store. You're probably thinking of Aquagiant they had 3 stores but are down to one now. I personally avoid Aquagiant (pm me if you want details) but have shopped at all the other stores in town. Lots of pros and some cons for each of them. Best to go check for yourself and make up your own mind.
