The Mad Reefer

The best saltwater-centric fish store around... No freswater fish or supplies here. But if saltwater is what you are looking for, you will find it.

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.

The 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!

Beyond 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!

In 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!

Amazing store!!! Great selection friendly prices!! I came in their with my girlfriend we had a small tank and were looking to get our first corals and they were super helpful!

From the very first moment I walked into this place I was surprised by the variety of fish. Not even the big stores in Orlando have the selection Mad Reefer offers. In addition to that the sizes of the available fish are bigger than average or what you can find in other stores. And just when I thought I could not get any better than that, the PRICES are incredible. In summary if you want the most competitive selection, great size and lowest prices in the industry that will make you feel like a dummy for going some place else go and visit The Mad Reefer. You will also get that one on one, old school ma and pa shop where you are family type of experience from the owner him self. You will not be just another dale like in the other retailers. Here you will walk out like you made a new friend. You will find anything and everything you need for your saltwater fish hobby, from salt, foods, equipment, I mean everything you need. We need more of these shops back in our society. The Mad Reefer is Definitely one of those very few left retail jewels still available today. I highly recommend it.

Been going here since I started in the hobby, always helpful and always have new stock every time I go. Check them out.

Very knowledgeable owner, nice and friendly as well. Will answer any concerns or questions you have

Not for the inquisitive shopper. Asked a few questions to verify the habit and behavior of a few different species— was not only wrong, but super wrong. Lighting and bottom conditions of many of the fish only tanks were very poor (if not complete darkness) - certainly not encouraging stressless transitions from supplier to tank. Finally, many many, pricing inconsistencies from tank to tank — X fish is 25 here & X fish is 36 here.

Wishing the best for every local business; this is one that did not earn my money.

Great reef tank - would have benefited from a “do you have any questions” customer service moment.

All the best.

Good selection of coral, and it changes every time I'm there. Love the variety
