Nothing gets close to this place in terms of quality of product and knowledge of their field. Just amazing.

Great shop with helpful, knowledgeable staff. They are also sometimes able to order in a fish if they don't have it in stock. The stock I've gotten here has always been vigorous and free from diseases.

Happened to be in town and stopped by. Owner and employee were nothing but kind and helpful. Got 2 frags the made the 4 hours home and seem to be happy and healthy. Very happy with my experience and look forward to visiting everytime I am in the area.

Super knowledgeable and cares about what he's selling to you. He almost didn't let me go home with a fish since our conversation centered around controlling high nitrates. My royal purple gramma is doing well and nitrates are back under control. Thanks for the conversation and learning experience! I'll be back to get some coral from ya ;)

Great little store. They have a number of things that you can't find anywhere else. Stock of Aquarium Co-op goods and the only place I could find Repashy. Prices were competitive and decent stock. All in all worth the drive.

Nice little store. Was very busy when I went in which is great to see. It has fresh and salt water. It did look like some attention could be spent cleaning the displays. I worked at a fish store and know how tedious that can be.

Had a hard time cycling a new tank and worried about the effectiveness of a product they previously sold me (no fault of there own in anyway shape or form) so I went in and questioned the product and asked for advice, and im not sure of the man’s name but he appears to be the manager or owner… he took the time to talk to me in depth even in the middle of a rush and he even gave me a used aquarium heater they had in the back and some product free of charge even though I’ve only been in twice before. Everyone in the store is helpful and sweet but blunt and they definitely don’t cut corners and they really care about their customers. Love it here and I will most definitely be back for years to come!

Nice selection of fish and supplies. The help was a very sweet girl but was a little overpowering in making her own recommendations without considering how experienced the customer may in fact be. I've been doing this 40 years. And while she is very sweet and helpful and a great salesperson I have a little more experience. But I really have nothing negative to say about the trip it was a great experience and I will be back

Very friendly and helpful staff. The tanks were well stocked and very clean. I have never seen such a large variety in healthy aquatic plants!

Most reliable fish store around. We have bought over 50 different fish from him and not a single one has died or had any complications. Never tries to push a sale and is very knowledgeable and honest when answering your questions. They’re in the process of expanding the displays in the store and it already looks so good. Great sense of humor and very to the point. Just a great store all around and very fair pricing. Great selection of freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and corals. I can’t recommend this store enough

Thinking about getting back into the hobby. Went by to see the livestock and corals they're offering, and they had a great selection as always. The owner and staff are friendly and knowledgeable and will help you as much as they can!

Reef life never disappoints us. We literally drive over an hour to visit this store every other week. Great customer service, friendly atmosphere & knowledgeable employees. They keep their tanks well stocked. Saltwater & fresh water. They have accessories and food for your aquatic babies. They also have a abundance of different plants as well. Prices are decent, but in general, the aquatic hobby is not cheap. So please keep that in mind when getting into this hobby. Another great thing about reef life is their online website. They keep it updated and also allow you to get notifications when what you are looking for is in stock. I highly recommend you visit reef life.

Extremely helpful, not pushy. Was able to browse around for a while and enjoy looking before we were approached.I was trying to do a saltwater tank with no experience, watching YouTube videos and sifting through tons of info. I explained what i had done so far and Mike immediately took over. I was told this is where you are, this is what you need right now and this is where you are headed.I feel like i was sent home with homework, given enough information to successfully complete it, and only sold what I was needing for the next step.We walked in unsure and left knowing that we will be successful.
