Not only amazing prices, but absolute BEST customer service! my husband wanted a cut of a neon green leather in their register display tank. without any hesitation, Kevin opened it all up & cut off a piece.all the staff is extremely knowledgeable.the only place we’ll buy fish or coral from anymore!
The employees are incredibly nice and helpful, let my daughter interact with what they were doing and shared the experience with her. The fish look happy and healthy, great looking corals with lots of variety, and prices that are hard to beat! Will definitely be returning!! ️
Very knowledgeable staff. Super clean place and tanks. They understand reefs, fish and tanks up and down. I would highly going to this place for saltwater. Hands down the best in the business and in Minnesota.
Excellent customer service. Even though its a small place, they have a lot of variety of corals, fish, and invertebrates. Definitely a one stop place for this hobby lovers.
Kevin and the team went beyond expectations for me. Best reefkeeping store Ive been to in the 10 years Ive been keeping marine tanks.
First impression was Wow. I have never seen better maintained aquariums. The whole store was immaculately clean, the lighting was really cool, and the assoiciates were on the ball. There were probably 5 other customers, all with associates, but I was still greeted immediately.They have approximately 50 aquariums, none of which appeared overpopulated. And did I say clean? They were cleeeeean.They had species of fish I never even knew existed, just browsing their selection doubled my knowledge of saltwater fish haha.The associate that came over was fun to talk to, and he tried really hard to change me from freshwater to salt, to no avail. Even though I dont own a saltwater aquarium, im sure thinking about adding one now.
Wow what a place. Great employees and great prices! A+++++ 1 hour drive for me to come to this location and it is most definitely worth it
Reef Collective has been such an important part in my journey to saltwater. They are extremely helpful and always willing to answer questions without making me feel like I should know something. The reefing world is so filled with confusing conflicting information and its good to have them around to help sort through the answers. They have came out to visit my tank twice to check on it when I am freaking out thinking I am doing something way wrong. They have good prices and amazing sales. They are quick to get something if I need it. I know they use good protocols to quaranteen the fish before they send them out to be sold. I keep all my biz with reef collective and love supporting a local company.
Amazing shop and staff. Very helpful
Great place was asked by multiple people if I needed help. The tank displays are awesome and the tanks are nice and clean. I also noticed they seem to have pretty reasonable prices on alot of their items
My boyfriend and I love this place! Everyone who works here is friendly, super knowledgeable, and willing to help you no matter if you are just getting into saltwater or an experienced saltwater hobbyist :) 10/10 would recommend!
I haven’t been able to step foot in store yet, but the online store and ordering process is an absolute breeze. I ordered 2 turbo snails as I’m having an algae problem and they were willing to deliver absolutely free to Edina. Any company that is willing to go the extra mile for me (especially on a $6 purchase), will have a customer for life. Super excited to come in store to pick out some corals soon!
Really cool vibe with friendly and helpful staff. Staff was super knowledgeable, will be revisiting to purchase when ready!
Wonderful selection of corals, beautiful fish, and very helpful staff! Definitely my go-to place for saltwater here on out.
Great place! Evolved nicely! Excellent help from staff!
I really love this place. Not only are the staff friendly but their choices of live stock and corals are great! I honestly havent been to a place I love more than this place. Definately a favorite and I recommend it to anyone who is in the fish hobby like my husband and I are.
Surprised at how affordable their prices are. Very knowledgable and steer you in the right direction. Being a newbie, I dont want to be overcharged and set up for failure. Very helpful and wish I would have found them sooner.
They know everything you need to know
One of the best saltwater stores around
Staff is always helpful and happy to offer any advice requested. I never feel pressured to buy anything and theyre always so happy!!
Reef Collective is the most amazing LFS! The staff truly couldnt be more kind and each employee is super knowledgeable and helpful. The pricing is always fair and the quality of fish, coral and other products is top notch. You can tell they honestly care about the customers and the fish. Definitely highly recommend Reef Collective!
I went in last week to get a couple fish and corals for my very first saltwater tank. They were very helpful and I came home with a clown fish pair and 7 corals. They are all doing amazingly great since I have brought them home!! They even sawed off the frag plugs for me so they were easier to place and glue down. This place is amazing and I will definitely be back! 5 stars!
This is a great shop. Clean tanks and friendly staff. The best part is they have clear and competitive pricing. There is nothing i hate more than LFSs that you need to ask for the price on every item and they seem to make up a price on the spot. This is likely my new go to LFS.
The staff are amazing. The selection is organized and outstanding. This place just became my favorite LFS.
I used to work in this building from 2005-2012 when it was called American Laminating.
This place is amazing. They only have saltwater fish and corals which is amazing. Their prices are way better than any other place. They have huge bubble tip anemones for only $80! There are so many different types and colors of corals too! Highly recommend!!
Amazing place to take kids to see these extraordinary fish and creatures!
They had a lot of cool and impressive coral. But I felt swarmed by the employees having four people talking to me by the time I made it to the frag tank; there was also a lot of pressure to buy to the point I felt like I was standing in a used car dealership instead of a LFS. Once the employees started talking amongst themselves, I used it as my chance to slip away and leave. It was my first time here, and I was impressed by the stock, but I dont know that Id ever go back.
The staff is amazing! We came in today for the first time and the person working was very friendly with not only my husband and myself but with our 3 year old who wanted to look at everything! The guy followed our son around showing such much enthusiasm and excitement as him. He definitely went above and beyond!
If youre looking for a good selection of fish/coral, definitely worth adding to the list. Theyve got their quarantine methods figured out and their pricing is competitive. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates of what is coming in!
I recently went to this store for the first time and was immediately impressed. The store looks practically brand new and was established somewhat recently from what I heard. Both the fish and tanks look extremely clean and healthy, but I was more focused on the corals on this particular trip. Their corals included a wide selection, wallet friendly prices, and some rare ones as well. I was helped by Zach after he gave me some time to look around (not sure if he was the owner but was friendly and knowledgable). After getting a feel for where I was in the hobby he suggested a few things and gave me plenty of time to make my selections. Overall, this was a really great store and I look forward to coming back in the near future. The only improvement I would suggest would be to increase the time they are open during the week (perhaps a summer hours sort of thing).
The best place in the metro area by far! Very clean setup, great staff, competitive pricing and a good inventory. They also price match. Highly recommended!
Amazing shop. Really incredible selection and staff with full knowledge of the hobby.
Great store and staff! Its fun seeing the progress and store taking shape. I like the organic growth plan. Bring stuff in as they determine what customers needs are vs trying to guess and bring in a bunch of stuff people dont necessarily want. This is how they can keep prices way down. Its also really nice that their hours are flexible, someone is usually always there and more then happy to accommodate people outside of posted hours.
They were very helpful and everything looked nice in-store and under the lights, but when I got home and checked out the frags I got, they were covered with a multitude of pests. Aptasia, vermatid snails, and tiny feather dusters all over the frag plug but also in between zoa polyps. Now I always expect to get some pests, and try to prevent as much as possible, but this was over the top, especially for the price paid. Very disappointed and I will not be going back to this reef shop.
Best saltwater fish store in Minnesota!
Super awesome staff, corals at an affordable price.
I recently decided to get my first tank and shopped around the metro for the best deal. Not only did reef collective have some of the best pricing around but their knowledgeable staff made a relative newbie like myself feel comfortable. Highly recommend
Friendly staff who are knowledgeable and take the time to explain answers to any question. Very reasonable prices for lovely corals (our primary goal)! Were excited to visit here again and see how the store continues to develop.
My wife and I came from Duluth for a meeting in the cities and decided to stop in and check out the shop! Very pleased with the coral selection and prices compared to a lot of other vendors and online distributors. Also very clean and great show and great staff thanks :-)
This store is fantastic and is run so smoothly by Zack and staff. Not only is their customer service superb their quality of corals and fish ranging from beginner to really collector stuff is top notch and at such an affordable price. After a pretty disappointing trip to New Wave Aquaria I was curious to see if they had a quarantine procedure and the amount of effort and care they have for they fish is what sets this store aside. They quarantine for 2 weeks with Chloroquine Phosphate, General Cure and Prazi Pro! Happy to see a store that is taking all the right steps to bring the best quality fish and corals to reefers.
I stopped into just look around and the staff was super friendly. I am in the process of researching a saltwater tank and they were more than happy to answer all my questions. Zack was very friendly and helpful. It was also a very clean and well maintained store.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are happy to help with any of your ichthyological questions.
Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a healthy selection of livestock and corals and really affordable prices. 5/5
These guys are the best. They’re honest, hardworking, and won’t try to sell a bad product. Their prices are the best by far, not expensive like new wave. I highly recommend going to Reef Collective.
An amazing variety of frags. Knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend it.
Great place to support my hobbie.
Not alot of product BUT workers were nice. Beautiful tanks.
Nicest looking coral and friendly staff when I go in. Definitely a great store to add to the options in the area!
Really cool if you have a salt water tank
Best place Ive ever been too, they take amazing care of their fish and are extremely helpful with any question I have, their prices are amazing and the quality is better than Ive seen anywhere else, thank you guys that work here for taking such good care of the fish and being so helpful no matter what questions I have, I will definitely buy from you guys only from now on
Kinda small and dark, but nice tanks, and coral selection
Good to have a new store in this area of the TC. Staff there is very knowledgeable and friendly. Very excited to see the store progress and expand.
Great new shop! Bought a custom tank and now stocking in with my new Powder Blue Tang i purchased today. Zac is awesome and let me in an hour before they open because i was in the area.
Awesome LFS!
My favorite fish store in mn great staff and a large selection of fish-corals needless to say ive been shareing this place to all my reefing friends
Knowledgeable staff and good prices
Great spot with alot of high quality corals!
Best LFS in Minnesota!
Awesome look and feel at the new store. Knowledgeable staff who are passionate about what they do. Highly recommended.
Every time I go they have been very helpful!
“Dinoflagellates!”Be cautious, I paid a visit in April, 2019. I was looking to buy some corals. Upon observation of the frag tanks, I am in disbelief how dirty the frag tanks were, algae, organic matter, and poor water quality. I have always had a positive view of this place being top notch, apparently I was wrong. How could anyone sell corals in such a state like this one. More observation, I immediately notice a familiar algae, Dinoflagellate! I informed the staff if they were aware of Dinoflagellates being present in the frag tanks, they bluffed it off, and ignored my questions. Another staff member wasn’t even sure, as he admitted being novice in the reef hobby. (Poor customer service, and inexperienced staffs). I verified they are indeed Dinoflagellate from my experiences. They are brown, snotty-like and air bubbles! Do some research, because you do not want to introduce dinoflagellates in your tank!
Great vibe . Ronica rocks! Def recommend
Bought a beautiful 60 gallon tank. Couldnt be happier!
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Livestock grows each time I visit.
Friendly staff great selection of coral and fish
Go some where else
