Living Reef Aquariums - Tropical fish store in Oakland Park - 4832 Dixie Hwy, USA

I usually don’t post reviews but honestly I can’t thank Jose more for all the help he is constantly giving me. He is extremely fair with his prices whether it be for service, coral, fish. Had a difficult situation last night with the tank and today he is already on his way making it happen.I read some other reviews on here that may make it seem like Jose does not care and is strictly about the money. I don’t agree I have had fish get sick after 2-3 weeks. (as with everything you do in this hobby there is a risk) Jose has gladly helped me with whatever I have needed and he is super accessible.

Here is someone who has absolutely no salt or freshwater tank experience. I recently purchased a tank off Offer Up and was ready to head over to Petco. While driving over I saw Living Life Aquarium and decided to stop in. I had no intention in getting a saltwater tank however as I entered the store, I immediately changed my mind. Not only was customer service amazing but they also explained to me the investments in both areas. While fresh water might be cheaper, the equipment I would purchase would only be useful for fresh water. With that being said, I decided to invest in salt water. If one day I want to change to fresh I can do so without spending the additional money on equipment that salt water requires. In my accounting mind, it only made sense. I went ahead and scheduled an appointment with Jose to get everything set up. Him and Maria who run the store explained everything thoroughly to me with what to expect for the first few months. Since then, they have given me great advise as to what fish I can and cannot have as a beginner. The goal since I am so new at this is to keep everything alive and I have been thanks to them! It is amazing how complex a saltwater fish tank can be and while it maybe be a money pit, having the right expert by your side has kept my tank healthy and beautiful.

Am always looking for new saltwater aquarium stores, I came across this store STAY AWAY They had some great Coral's ( pricey) But there tanks are FILTHY!!! Brown I would be afraid to purchase anything there ( I think the Coral's there have adjusted to there conditions) I feel that if I purchased any and placed them in my prestine tank they would die So buyers BEWARE!!

Great place great staff they help you with all your questions and set up your tank like a professional

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.

Had a great experience at living reef today. The staff was all very helpful and knowledgeable as well. They made me and my wife feel welcome to be there. The young lady there I believe her name was Tonya was great helped with my selection of cichlids that I was looking for just all in all a great experience will be back.

My mom and I love coming to this store! Everyone is always very friendly and knowledgeable. They have beautiful corals we always find the most colorful and interesting pieces in there. If you haven’t stopped by you definitely should. It is truly a gem.

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!
