I will start by saying Nick is a very good guy. He gave me a great price on two pieces of coral, and I respect any new business that is just starting up.Unfortunately one of the corals Nick sold me never opened and within 3 days one of the heads fell off and the other one was oozing brown jelly (A very bad Euphyllia Disease). 5 days after that the other coral started to recede and show similar signs.I contacted Nick to let to let him know what was happening and suggested he run a UV sterilizer in his coral tank to help reduce any disease. Nick said the reason my coral was dieing was because I acclimated it for too long (about an hour). I explained I have been reefing for 4 years and acclimate all my coral the same way and showed him the video of my tank which does very well. At that point he did admit a few people were having issues with their corals dieing that they got from him.I appreciated Nick's honesty about what other customers were going through as well, and he did offer me a store credit for my purchase. As good as his customer service was I would not put anything in my tank from Nick's Reef knowing that his pieces are just not that healthy.4 star customer service1 star product quality.(The first coral in the video was the one I bought from nick, the rest of the tank is mine with corals from other vendors.)

Store doesn’t exist but it is a dial tone when you calling them. Terrible when the owner doesn’t care about his info on the internet.

Nick is very helpful and kind. Extremely fair pricing compared to everywhere else. Healthy livestock as well. I've bought many fish and corals from him and they have all done great, no diseases or sickness.

Found nick on Facebook and his wife put me in touch with him I was having problems with my corals opening up. He gave me some good advice and a hammer coral on the house. I followed his instructions to the letter. Now all my corals are open and thriving. Nick is a life saver definitely going back to purchase more corals.

Bought two fish from Nick's Reef. They're doing great. He quarantines his fish and treats them which is great. Thanks for the great deals, see you soon!

First time there it is a very small place very early in its establishment but the fish looked incredibly healthy and they do quarantine in copper before they sell them. And the prices are insanely low compared to any one else at the moment. Looking forward for this place to grow and have more space
