Eco Reef Corals 2137 South Tamiami Trail, Venice, FL 34293

"The owner helped us to pick out some fish that are great for starting out. The shop has so much to check out and supporting local shops always feels better. I don’t know a lot about fish, yet, but their costs seemed reasonable. Their fish food and decor is definitely reasonable. They have a lot of salt water options and a good amount of freshwater options available to buyers. Def think it’s worth a stop in."

"Chet is awesome. Helped is restart our hobby from scratch!!! Red sea tank very good choice. He us ALWAYS available and wiling to help us"

"I have bought several things from this place. The owner looks to have a habit. Also his prices are very high. 3 times I have been in there the owner sits behind the desk and no help. Good thing I know my stuff! There is an older gentleman that works there he is so very very nice. The problem is his frags are old enough to encrusted the plugs with tons of hair algae. I would just love to be able to find an honest shop around here. Please someone give me a good reputable shop or club to trade."

"Great guy! Very knowledgeable I walked in with absolutely no idea how to set up my new 32 gallon biocube, not the slightest idea of where to start. He picked put exactly what I needed and told me how to set it up, answered all my questions and didn't seem a bit bothered by how new I was to saltwater. Most people will take advantage of that and sell you a ton of things you don't even need just to make a profit. I got the sand, rocks, water, test kit and the chemicals necessary the first trip and got my tank set up. I just went back today and was worried my water quality was bad but I was just testing it wrong, he was nice enough to test it for me and answer even more questions which I'm sure can be annoying. He even gave me the hours to set for the lighting that is built into the biocube! Great guy I'll happily stay loyal to his shop. We got snails and Crabs in my tank and he said I can start on fish next week! Very fair pricing as well from what I've compared and he definitely won't steer you wrong and from what I've seen he has a great selection of fish and coral available."

"Very good variety of fish including salt water and fresh have a question they most likely know the answers and will try to help you out with issues with your tank(s)"
