Reef Aquarium

[rawbomb]

I went by Reef Aquarium to buy some fish and food and i spoke to the owner about the the club. He has agreed to give all club members a 10% off like Reef Life does. I go there alot since they are the closest store to my house and i like his store better than exotic across the street.

He has been getting some better corals and fish lately aswell so feel free to passby and check it out.

That was nice of you and them. I will have to go by and see the store.

I was there this morning one thing i like is that the price of each coral is on the glass, many lfs show the price of there fishes but corals you have to ask how much is it, like if we are in 3rd world country street bazaar.

 

[rawbomb]

Yeah it is very nice for my since i got the discount that same day on my anthia and Valamigi tang purchase . He is also known for his custom tanks which i like more than the one exotic makes but i think they are more $$.

I whent by the store reef aquarium's and the owner build me a custum 600 gallon tank, the tank came out looking extrodrinary with the silicon work looking like the real thing you cant tell the difference, in the weeks of me going i took a look at their life stock and their corals IMO look beter than any lfs around the area and not to mention cheaper, another bonus to this store is the owner will finance for you with zero intrest, i give this place two thumbs up.

anyone got the address? across the street from exotic aquatic?

 

[Percula109]

Yeah its right across from exotic i belive, on bird road and 73 ave or something, i know is right across from exotic.

 

[NanoKat]

That must not be Exotic Aquatic y'all are referring to, as it is on Oakland Park Blvd. I'm guessing Miami, considering the Bird Road reference.

 

[rawbomb]

yeah its in front of exotic aquariums in miami.

The owners name is Henry. He's a real nice guy. He has a good selection of coral and fish.

 

[rawbomb]

Yeah i like the guy. He has been helpful in the past and 10% helps out aswell

another +1 for henry and his shop.. he has a bit of an algae problem sometimes in his coral display, but nothing those of us with healthy reefs cant handle. 10% is awesome, and i have seen him finance for 0% many times while roaming the shop. Most of the time he gives me my water for free because i never carry cash and then i just pay for like 3 weeks of water at once on my debit card... which ive always thought was really cool of him

One of Henry's employees is a new FMAS member I brought in to the last meeting. His name is Jorge, cool kid.

I've been doing this hobby for a while now, and I can tell you this store is the best out of all the others on Bird road, as well as most others in Miami. Reef Aquariums is the best not just because of the new 10% discount on being a member of this site, but because we're talking about high quality fish, and corals at low prices. He has a wide variety for sale from basic yellow tangs to the rare Garibaldi damsel fish. He also gives great customer service being very friendly, too.

I'll definitely give another thumbs up for Henry. to many places in Miami seem to be more interested in the $$$ than a long term relation with their customers. I have already heard from 3 different other places is "ich is nothing..goes away in 2 days". With responses like that makes it the last time I visit that lfs. Another great LFS with quality fish almost 100% of the time has been aquarimart on us1 about a block away from sunset place. He definitely has the best eel selection I have seen also in Miami.

The OTHER stores on bird road.

The OTHER stores on bird road.

Ive also been to a bunch of other stores on Bird road as well. Strictly, Amazing, and Exotic all suck as saltwater stores. Heres why I dont go to them.

Strictly Fish- They sold me live rock that was suposedly cured, and the very next day my whole tank was infested with worms of every type found in the ocean! Including a 12 inch long Bristel worm. There water quality is low, but there prices are high, and there customer service could use some some improvement. They also dont have a very good selection of corals.

Amazing Aquariums- This store is just on the other side of the fence from Strictly. There competitors to eachother and as a result have the same high prices. There water quality is slightly better, but they have a fewer selection of fish and coral cosidering the other half of the store deals with freshwater. I went there one day and saw a 2 ft. long dead Nurse Shark in the back tank with a stressed out slightly smaller horned shark. I came by 3 days later to find the same dead shark was still in the tank. I was told the horned was sold.

Exotic Aquariums- This store is just across the street from Reef. There water quality is the poorest Ive seen of all. It was like a light gray color, last time I was there, and each tank had at least one dead fish in it. There prices are a little better than Strictly and Amazing. There worst problem isnt even bad water quality though...Its Extremley bad Customer Service. I waited there for a full 20 min. before someone attended to me and they had 5 people running the store. One of which was just flirting away with some chick all day. I also asked if they knew where Reef Aquariums was before when he had moved to that location just across the street. They said he was no longer in buisness.
