This place is great. Large selection of fresh and saltwater and they have water plants. Workers were very friendly and helpful.

Imagine waking up to a leaking aquarium and scrambling to find a replacement--that was my morning. I initially stopped at Aquarium Depot and had a pretty frustrating experience. I left feeling like I was inconveniencing them just by asking about their ordering process. It honestly felt more like Aquarium De-nope! That led me to Your Reef Experience, and the difference couldn't have been more clear. From the moment I called, the owner was welcoming, patient, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to answer all of my questions and helped me place an order for an out-of-stock aquarium without making it feel like a hassle. He also kept me updated throughout the entire process, which I really appreciated. One thing he said stuck with me: 'I just want to see successful aquarists.' That mindset shows in how he runs his business. If you value knowledgeable, friendly, and customer-focused service, this is the place to go . Highly recommend. read more

Your Reef Aquarium - My new (apparently hard to find) tank! Thanks to Your Reef Aquarium - Aquarium Services Near Me - Roseville, California

I don't usually write reviews, but Josh at Your Reef in Roseville absolutely deserves one. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is different. Josh is super down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and actually takes the time to help--no pressure, no upselling, just genuine advice and great service. The fish and corals here are hands down the healthiest I've seen anywhere in the greater Sacramento area. Everything looks clean, vibrant, and really well cared for, which says a lot about how they run the shop. What really stood out to me was how open Josh was to custom requests. I had something pretty specific in mind, and he went out of his way to help make it happen, which you don't see very often. Overall, this is easily the best reef shop around. Great people, amazing livestock, and just an all-around awesome experience every time I go in. read more

Your Reef Aquarium - ROSE BTA - Aquarium Services Near Me - Roseville, California

Owner is very friendly, normal, and knowledgeable. I really enjoy the selection and variety and appreciate the reasonable prices. It's not a crowded store and it's in a good location with easy parking. Great place to frequent for your aquarium needs and livestock. read more

Josh is one of the rare shop owners who truly cares about the reefing community. He never pushes products just to make a sale -- instead, he focuses on helping hobbyists learn, grow, and succeed. Whether you're new or experienced, you'll always leave his shop more confident in your reef journey. Highly recommend! read more

Went around 4:30PM on 1/25/24 (a Thursday). Took about a half hour to get there. Turns out they are closed. When I called the auto message said they were open and no where on their social media did they say they were closed (and this store has a very active social media presence). Waste of gas and an hour round trip. Won't support a business that's ok with wasting customers time. It would have taken the owner 2 minutes to post on social media to say they are closed and save me $10 in gas and an hour of my time. I guess they would rather wait for customers to get all the way to the store just to realize it's closed. Bummer, looks like they have great corals. read more

I drive over an hour to come here. They have great prices and I believe they farm the majority of the corals they sell. I wanted to try out coral care without having to break the bank, especially if a rookie mistake ended up killing the whole tank. Well guess what? I used a salt mixing pump that had brass fittings and killed almost everything in the tank. Devastating but went back to buy more frags at buy 6 get 3 free and getting the tank back to its former glory read more

Some of the best coral at great prices. Underrated. Me and the wife travel 2 and a half hours about once a month to go to Your Reef and pick out coral for our 180 gal. Great customer service and a amazing selection of top notch corals will keep us going back for years to come. read more

The best store in the area for corals. Their selection of corals isn't the greatest but the quality is amazing. Their corals are bright, healthy, and clean. I always dip my corals before adding them to my system and I've had very few minor hitchhikers (mostly amphipods) on them. The fish selection is small however with a smaller selection they are able to treat their fish with hyposalinity, copper, and prazipro to get you the healthiest fish. The saltwater hobby has a high learning curve wiht little room for mistakes. Anyone who is passionate about it will talk to you all day about it. Don't be afraid to ask questions because I guarantee you will not know what a lot of things are in a store like this. read more

Your Reef Aquarium is AMAZING!!! John was so helpful and has a HUGE selection of beautiful coral for a great price. I live 40 minutes away and will be coming back for any of my saltwater needs! There was also a deal on frags for buy 3 get 1 free. It was so nice to find a place that actually took care of their tanks, coral, and fish. Love it! Thank you John for all of your help! read more

DO NOT EVER EVER FUCKING SHOP HERE EVER l! I came in to the store to test my water and I had a bit high nitrate and phosphate the lady kept telling me she's what she's talking about yada yada, me a beginner to saltwater she tells me to try nopax. Never heard of it she says she it will help with my problem I go home put it it 30 min late all my fish are floating upside down so not ever come here you will be tricked just to buy shit when you don't need it fuck this place. read more

The frag prices are great but the store is super small and they don't have enough fish. Barely any actually.

I was vaguely aware of Your Reef after seeing their live sales on Reef2Reef. Recently I was meeting another hobbyist to swap corals about 40 min away from the shop. I decided to make the journey over before I came back to SF. The shop is pretty awesome. It has a wide range of corals everything from your run of the mill palythoas to designer SPS. I left the store with a Maxima clam larger than my hand and 4 frags. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I am surprised that Your Reef has no reviews so far. Stop in and say hello to John (the big tall guy), you will not be sorry. I make it a point to drive here from Elk Grove on Thursday or Friday to see what goodies he has bought for the week. If you like high-end, collector, or rare corals, this is the place. If you have any questions from the most basic to the most complex, this is the place. John talked me through tank setup and helped me configure a reactor I brought into his shop. He also spent a good hour discussing tank chemistry parameter testing and control. This was all done out of good faith as I did not buy the reactor from him. I did buy from him afterwards and will continue to go back. Service is what it's all about. Oh yeah, and he is great with kids, very patient and engaging. My boys love his store because he bribes them with a YR sticker and a free shell when we stop in. read more

No, I would not recommend this business. I experienced very poor customer service and was sold a diseased Goby that died and killed off our entire tank. I made a few poor decisions. I was told that I could transport a Goby to Reno, NV. When I arrived home, we tested the water in the bag and it was basically tap water. I left a message with the business with my concerns and I never received a phone call in return. The Goby died the next day. Today, we lost the last of our entire aquarium of saltwater fish. They have all died. I know we should have had a quarantine tank but we never had an issue with our local shop. I never leave poor business reviews but I feel the need to warn others about the risks of making a purchase from this business. read more

Smaller of the aquariums in the area, I would say good place for coral good prices and it all looked quite healthy. Not as many fish and or supplies but they did have lots of used ones if your looking for something on a budget. The employees where nice helped us and explained some coral we weren't familiar with. read more

This is the best Saltwater store in the Sacramento Area hands down. Always amazing corals, and healthy fish. Wish this place was bigger, but WOW, best place around by FAR! read more

Lower priced frag selections are much better than when I was there last. Saw some aiptasia issues that should be addressed. Come here for your specialty frags that you can't get at Aquarium Depot. read more

Gone to a few fish stores in the area and this is by far the best one! Super friendly and helpful service and great selection. Best quality coral in the area for sure! read more

Pretty amazing place. It's always busy for a reason. Be patient when you come in and you'll leave with great corals, and even better knowledge. The buy three and buy six deals are where it's at! read more

I Love this store!!! I've been going to this store from the start. The corals are of the highest quality around, i never had any issue's with the fish or corals. John the owner is very nice, and has great experience in the Reef world!!! he will answer any questions you got, and will help you to his best ability. It's a store you must go to. GREAT SERVICE!!! GREAT PEOPLE!!! read more

Seriously will never go to another reef/fish store. Every other company I went to in Sacramento were not helpful AT ALL. John took his time and explained everything to me in great detail. He's honest and his prices are very fair. He gave me his business card and say to call anytime with more questions. THE BEST! read more

Love this place. Best place in Sac to get any kind of coral. If he doesn't have something in stock, the owner can order it for you. He won't try to up sell you. He is legitimately concerned for the well-being of the animals and won't sell you anything that will conflict with whatever else is in your tank. If you're new, he'll help you start your aquarium. The water he provides is second to none. His coral selection is insane! Very knowledgeable. Be sure to check out the website also. I found some pretty sweet deals on there read more

Love this place. Always stocked full of corals. Most importantly they are great quality. Definitely recommend visiting:

Best selection of coral frags in town. Not to mention the healthiest-looking as well :)

Great store! John the owner is one of the nicest guys! Stopped in and grabbed several fantastic frags from John and the crew. If you're in the area you should make a stop in. read more

Just received my first order online with them and now leaving my first Yelp review. John went above and beyond what was necessary to make sure I was happy with the order I placed and that I received the best quality frags. When he wasn't happy with the condition of a couple of pieces of SPS I had ordered, he called me personally and offered more then satisfactory alternatives. Who else does that? I received some amazing pieces this morning and now they are happily acclimating in my tank. These are my go to frag guys now. Thanks! read more

Just got a great deal on 10 new coral frags. Next week supposed to be a big sale!

Your Reef is the exact opposite of other aquarium stores in Sacramento. John the owner is very knowledgable, helpful, friendly and has given me deals many times. He makes sure every customer feels appreciated. This store is small but has the BEST selection of corals. They have all of the supply's you want or need at the best price. If you need something special John will help you get what you need, going the extra mile for you. I live in Elk Grove, which is much closer to Exotic, Capital, O st, Jo Joes and other aquariums in town but it's always worth the drive here. If you like selection and great deals go to YOUR REEF you wont be disappointed! read more

I bought a zooanthid frag. But it came with Aiptasia as well. Needless to say I'm so disappointed. It's only 2 days and the Aiptasia has grown and spread. read more

Definitely a great place to find some good coral pieces especially the zoa selection. Will be returning to this place more often.

Your reef is a awesome store for corals! Your reef is also a sponsor of our club so we drive about a hour and 15m to get there from where we live but it doesn't matter because we love the deals! Ask for John he's awesome. read more

Joe, John and Emmily are the best in the business. They know all the info you need, and if they don't they'll find out for you. I have personally known them now for a couple of years and they have never let me down. read more

The best corals hands down!!!!!!!!! I recently got a great price on a bubble tip anemone

I had been keeping track of YR for awhile ever since I found them on Yelp but ended up looking through their website every now and again since I'm a SF native and do no travel to Sacramento often. I recently made a purchase for a Maxima Clam and several SPS corals. They contacted me after the purchase and confirmed the shipping date. Unfortunately on the day I was scheduled to receive the package UPS called me and told me that there was an issue with the package and that i would have to come pick it up at a UPS hub instead. After i picked up the package and opened the box i saw that the bags of salt water had leaked out. Corals were bleached and the clam did not survive the night. As a reef keeper my heart sank, but I went ahead and email Stacy at YR about the situation with pictures. To my amazement, she responded within 15 minutes empathizing me with the situation and the steps to get the corals replaced. Through out the night and next morning I kept a correspondence with Stacy regarding the situation and ended up driving to the store where I met John the owner. John took care of me in getting my corals replaced and even threw in some extra stuff for driving up from SF. I had an amazing experience with YR and would definitely go back without question. Stacy and John took a possibly terrifying experience and turned it into a great one. During my interaction with them, they never questioned or pushed any blame at me. They were incredibly professional and was solely focused in getting the issue resolved. Thanks Stacy and John! I will be back for more corals! read more

My husband and I are just starting our first reef tank. After going to multiple stores looking for someone who would awnser our questions, with no success, we found your reef! John is so knowledgeable! He took his time to go over all of our questions and help us get started. He is friendly and his prices are great! I highly recommend this store to everyone! read more

Great selection of healthy frags and good prices. The owner John is super nice, and super smart when it comes to the saltwater hobby. He was also able to order fish I wanted that couldn't find other then on the internet. read more

I live a good 30 minutes from Your Reef. There is another fish store closer to my house , but due to the amazing customer service and friendly vibe from Your Reef, I make the drive at least once a week, even if its just to look. Great looking corals, healthy fish, and an awesome staff willing to teach saltwater newbs such as myself! I refuse to go anywhere else. read more
