The best aquarium store in Fort Lauderale, bar none. They have a great selection of fish and corals/inverts. Plus I really appreciate their honesty and direct approach to doing business.
Very helpful at this store! The prices are great and they always know the answer to my questions.
Ive been going to this story for over 5 years now and the prices are fare and at times negotiable. The staff (family own) is very knowledgeable and friendly. If you are searching for fish or coral and you cant find it let Maria or Jose know and they will find it for you. One of the best LFS in the broward area.
My partner and I unknowingly trusted this store as newbies to the saltwater aquarium hobby. In 2 days we spent a total of $300, only to walk away with 2 losses (an anemone and a starfish), and not offered any kind of apology, or even a credit towards a future purchase. After much more thorough investigation from a few other reputable stores, what we were told by employees at these other stores was that an anemone SHOULD HAVE NEVER been sold to us, because our tank wasn't established enough to ensure its survival, and the same with the starfish. The owner of Living Reef Aquarium was only interested in the money we were spending, not at the fact that our tank had just finished cycling, and we were starting out with our first fish and coral. The same day that I purchased the anemone and it wasn't attaching, I called immediately before the store had even closed, and got no answer until the next day. I was told I needed to be patient and give it a few days to acclimate. Then I was told by the owner that the reason why my tank had a mini cycle (which was what it was identified as by the other aquarium store my partner and I went to), I was told by living Reef that I needed to buy live rock from them, and spend another $100...are you kidding me!!!! These people are crooks that are only after your money, so buyers beware. They will take your money and offer no type of guarantee. If you buy something from them and it dies that same day, you have to swallow the cost. Funny how 2 other aquarium stores said I should've never been sold an anemone to be put in a newly cycled tank. But this joke of an owner says if they set the tank up and use his live rock an anemone can go in right away. Hmmmm....maybe that guy needs to do some serious research because he clearly doesn't care about the loss, as long as it's not his money. What a joke!!!! I wouldn't touch his hole in a wall store with a 10ft pole wearing a hazmat suit! You've been warned!!! This place is horrible, so horrible that they try to get you to pay cash and tell you that if you pay cash they will waive taxes. Haha!!! That's because you have a paper trail paying with a card, and can dispute the charge if need be. You can't do that with cash. I've handled it accordingly!!!!
Great spot and frendly staff
