I decided to check out the shop after seeing one of my customers 2 beautiful saltwater tanks in there home. After speaking to them they convinced me to go down and see what was to offer. I could not have asked for a better experience. The family owned store experience was Great, the knowledge, the products and the attention they gave each customer. I will be driving almost an hour to give them my business.

Jose came highly recommended he came to my house and set up the fish tank for me I didn’t have to do a thing. I asked him to recommend a few fish that would good for my tank and he did. He went out of his way to help me. Than I went to the store and his family were very nice and help me with some other things I needed. I do recommend this place.

Best saltwater store in town. Been going here for years for water and livestock. Saltwater is always on point and keeps my levels steady. High quality corals and fish with high survival rates compared to experiences at some of the other local fish stores. There new store is phenomenal. Highly recommend them

Maria was great! She was really informative and answered every question I had. As a beginner with a saltwater tank she was able to teach me alot. They also had a great selection of fish and coral. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Will be a regular at this shop!

Best spot in broward hands down, the owner is super informative and always trys to lead you the right way . Hes set up two tanks for me at my house a 100g and a 40g always the best service. Selection of corals is more than enough aswell as the fish both salt and freshwater. No matter what the issue is Im 100%sure someone in this establishment knows the solution!

Went to Living Reef Aquariums to get some supplies and found that they double charge on everything. They sold us Fish and the fish died in less than a day and they said too bad no refund even though nothing SAY this in their Store. They say its on our website BUT not in their store were people who are new to their store who have not been to their website would know. They would give give a small discount so you can buy more fish from them that might die (so they can make more money from you) After explaining that we would never go back and other fish store care for their customers and do not rip off their customers this way they gave us a Refund but with a Huge Non-professional manner.WELL NEVER GO AGAIN! If you have not gone DONT GO!.

I went there Friday to check out a new local fish store and see how they work. I was greeted and helped by the brother and sister team That own this store. I purchased three fish from them totaling over $46 the very next morning after properly acclimating them to our tank system - they died! When I went back to the store to bring the dead fish back and advised them that they had died within 12 hrs of purchase they told me that they would not replace them but that they could just give me a discount on new fish. This is horrible customer service. How can you not guarantee a fish: $46 dollars worth of fish would not be OK within 24 hours of purchase. I will never shop at the store again. They overcharge for their products and they do not stand behind them. When my husband called after I told him what happened they told him their no refund policy is on their website but not posted in the store. Buyer beware!

Decided to make a tour of Orlando-based salt-water fish and coral stores. Based off Google reviews, I selected World Wide Corals, Sea in the City, The Living Reef, Top Shelf Aquatics, Longwood Reef Aquarium and Stormborn Reef.Here is what I thought about the Living Reef:Another great Orlando gem. Very friendly staff and Carlos was quick to introduce himself and help out. The fish here were outstanding with such a great variety. Corals too were clean and well cared for. They were busy receiving and setting up a larger exhibit in the front of the store otherwise I would have stayed longer. Highly recommended!

I went to this fish store last night and it was closed at 7pm, but when I called the number on the door, the owner came back to the store just for me to be able to buy what I needed to make sure my tank was ok. I am super happy I found this place. The price points are great, the selection was awesome! Highly recommended!

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.

Review №53

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 wasnt 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 wasnt 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 shouldve 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 doesnt care about the loss, as long as its not his money. What a joke!!!! I wouldnt touch his hole in a wall store with a 10ft pole wearing a hazmat suit! Youve 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!!! Thats because you have a paper trail paying with a card, and can dispute the charge if need be. You cant do that with cash. Ive handled it accordingly!!!!

After scams, idiotic advice and just plan lies, Ive found the ONLY shop and service company Ill EVER use. Jose owner has NEVER put profits before whats good for me and my fish. After more than 3 years with him taking care of my tanks and me, Ill never go elsewhere. Whether iss a maintenance call or a hysterical emergency he and his colleagues have never steered me wrong. IVE SPENT HUNDREDS AND HES SAVED ME THOUSANDS!!! And my fish LOVE the LIVING REEF!!!
