Ive been going to Elite Reef for the last 6 months. In fact one of the guys there, Zach was just starting to cycle his 90 gal tank. This encouraged me to start my own tank. I now run a 75 gal tank with fish and coral. I bought everything from them including my amazing light that they special ordered just for me after some research on what I wanted to keep in my tank. They always have amazing fish in the store and have several tanks in the store to help their customers with ideas on aquascaping, to fish in the tank, to what different coral will look like in the tank. Mike, Zach, and Heather are super knowledgeable and do an amazing job keeping the store in tip top shape and keep the store looking professional. I wouldnt suggest buying your saltwater supplies, fish, and coral anywhere else then Elite Reef!! Keep up the good work guys!!!

This is by far the worst place to go if you want to speak to someone who knows what they are talking about. They dont even deserve a single star! 1st they told me that they would sell me two pieces of coral for 150 then when we got wrung up they didnt tell me the total. I got home and they charged me 225! When i went in to speak with them regarding that and a red algae issue the guy didnt even get off his dam stool!!! Wow. I then find out that the one of the pieces of coral they sold me wasnt even what they told me it was! It was supposed to be a rock anemone. I will never go back to a place that swindles me for my money and disrespects me when i try to confront them about what they did. Dont go here. Petco is better knowledged and polite then these idiots are. I sure as hell wont be going back.

On a trip to Denver from Seattle I decided to check out what a quick search yielded as the best saltwater store in the area. Needless to say, Elite Reef exceeded expectations. A well kept store boasts top-quality livestock at really great prices. The biggest reason I was motivated to buy from Elite Reef was their excellent display tanks and coral flats (Alas, corals cant go in a carry-on). The knowledgeable staff actually cares about sustainability in the hobby, and tries to get aqua-cultured corals whenever they can. If I lived in Denver, I would feel lucky to have a place like this so close!

Me and my wife have always had great experiences here. Knowledgeable helpful staff. Always knows my last purchase and what Id be looking for next its crazy. Great quality water, lower quantity of fish then some stores, BUT much higher quality fish at competitive prices. Corals are always on point and selection in huge. They also have costumer incentives like coral cash and frag store credit. Ive been to fish den, aqua mart, and the other local stores. This is the one for me.

This store is awesome! They have a great selection of livestock in a clean and inviting environment. More importantly, the owners and employees are very knowledgable, helpful, and kind. The service I have received has been great. The owners have come to my home multiple times to set up my tank, service it, and make sure Im comfortable with its maintenance. My experience with Elite Reef is second to none in both service and quality.

This place is awesome. Helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Prices here are much lower than other LFS in the area. Frags and livestock are well maintained and priced competitively with cheap online retailers. This is a saltwater only store. They carry aquariums, equipment, live and cured rock and sand, tons of corals, snails and crabs and the like, and fish/invertebrates. My new favorite store.

Hands down one of the best saltwater fish stores in Denver. Always clean (spotless tanks!) & easy to navigate, with an amazing staff and excellent quality assurance procedures. They quarantine their fish before theyre available to purchase, and will special order fish in for you. Their website has some extremely informative articles, too. And their corals... GORGEOUS.

Amazing staff and excellent quality fish and products. Since the first time we went the staff treated us so well. Answering all of our questions. Josh helped us so much setting up both of our new tanks. I live in Golden and will always take the extra drive to go to the Elite Reef.

We explained our complete tank setup and they sold us 2 fish that were not supposed to be together. Once they arrived in the tank, they started fighting. After doing research, it was clear that these fish werent supposed to cohabitate. Something they should have known.

I am a big fan of Elite Reef. Great people that know what they are doing. I would recommend it to the expert and beginning fish fanatic. Also, Elite is involved in their community and cares about more than just making a profit--that goes a long way in my book.

The only place in Denver where you know the fish are not diseased. Excellent customer service. Knowledgeable staff. Clean. Great selection. Ability to order anything you like. If your going to buy saltwater fish/coral this is the only place to go.

This place has been great to me as a newbie in the saltwater hobby. Always willing to answer questions and give advice. Have always had a great selection each time I have been into the store. Ill be back soon for more.

Hands down....the best fish store in Denver. Customer service, inventory, fish health, and pricing are the perfect combo, and this store has it all. Dont shop anywhere else...and I drive across town just to shop there!

Thier new location is awesome! In the past they have pointed me in the right direction getting my tank going and are very knowledgeable. They have a few different setups that can help you decide what to build too.

The best salt water fish store in Arvada hands down or near by. Sometimes their prices seem a little high but the quality and healthiness in their animals are great. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

It was a great place, the people there really know what they are doing when it comes to fish. It is the only place I will be going form here on out. Great people, great atmosphere. Two fins up!

Best corals around Denver hands down. Equally matched with their expertise and knowledge of fish and corals. Best LFS in the area in my opinion. They also have great customer rewards programs!
