The Mad Reefer

This place is awesome! I used to drive to Orlando for good corals until I found this store. Jordan is awesome and very friendly and knowledgeable. I like that she gives you space and time to look at the corals without hovering over you and making you feel rushed. She is is very helpful when you have questions and provides awesome advice on coral placement, flow & lighting.nnThe owner is also a great guy. He took the time to provide me with feedback on one of my corals (not purchased here) that was dying off and his advice absolutely saved it. His knowledge is encyclopedic and he is very willing to share it. He doesn’t try to push you to more expensive corals and instead takes the time to understand what you have and the corals that may compliment them. He is also very honest in his pricing. When I inquired about a coral that wasn’t marked yet, I suggested a price of $700 when making my inquiry. He could have easily said yes, it’s $700 as I had suggested. Instead, and as an example of his ethics, he said I’d love to take that much for it, but I had planned to list it for $500 and wouldn’t charge you more than that. That was all I needed to know about his integrity and ethics and it made me a customer for life!nnBeyond the corals, they also have an awesome selection of crabs, fish & etc. They even had a very large mantis shrimp, which was very cool to see!nnIn my opinion, if you are looking for a friendly and knowledgeable staff, great prices and an awesome selection, you definitely need to check this place out!

Highly recommend! These guys know fish and aquariums: had them move a 60 gallon from Satellite Beach, FL an hour south. Lots of fish, rock, live plants, etc. and they did it right from A to Z. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thanks a million for great service--all my fish are happy in their new location!

Yes!nJust relocated to Merritt Island and have been visiting every local store for miles!nThis was the very first store with happy fish in clean aquariums that I've seen.nThe staff member was friendly AND helpful. They also carry a variety of Brightwell Aquatics products which my tank loves. I was so happy to find a local shop that practices safe husbandry and who obviously care about this hobby. I will definitely be back!

AWESOME CORALS & HEALTHY FISH!!! This is the BEST LFS around. I’ve been into saltwater tanks for 10 years and this is the first time I have felt supported after the sale. When you spend the kind of money this hobby requires you want it to be spent with people you can trust. Any store can sell you anything but to support you after you spent your hard earned money is everything!!! I highly recommend The Mad reefer to any saltwater hobbyist. FIVE STARS FOR SURE!!!!! You won’t be disappointed.
