Absolutely blown away by the quality of the livestock and cleanliness of this facility. Everything was gorgeous and this place is miles ahead of the competition Ive seen around the twin cities. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I bought a Royal Gramma and my first coral here and they are both doing great in my reef tank! I will be returning in the future. It is easy to support my local fish store when I have access to a place like this with quality and affordable livestock and the best products at reasonable prices. Online vendors seem a lot less appealing for me now. Go check it out; it will be worth your time.

I am only a year into the saltwater aquarium hobby and had no idea about this store until three months ago. I wish I had known about it when I started! The store head and shoulders above any other aquarium store in the Twin Cities and I wouldnt doubt it is one of the nicest in the country. It might be a bit smaller than others but everything is clean, the fish and coral are healthy, the prices are better than all of the other stores in the area and the coral selection is far superior. The owner, Jen, is very personable and extremely helpful. I have nothing but good things to say about this store!

New Wave is the only retail store I deal with! Fantastic service and merchandise!! I have been to all of the stores in the cities and surrounding suburbs and New Wave is by far the best. They have a wide variety of coral and livestock, from beginner and easy to care for through high end SPS. Not to mention the very knowledgable staff. Every one of the staff knows their stuff and is very willing to help you find what you are looking for and explaining the care required. If you have a saltwater tank or are thinking about starting one go to New Wave. It will be time and money well spent.

New Wave has become the only shop we go to for all our tank needs. Helpful staff who love tropical tanks, willing to answer any questions, and they have quality product. What is really cool about going here, the people that help you are actually enthusiastic about tanks, reefs, fish, and how to care for them. We are newer to the hobby, but really feel on solid ground now with our tank thanks to New Waves staff. Go see the store, you can see the difference the moment you walk in. PS, easily the most choice and variety in the cities too.

Very clean and well priced store, all of the staff Ive talked with are very knowledgable and you can really tell they care about the livestock and hobby because theyll advise against a purchase if your set up wont handle it, New wave is totally opposite of most other stores that will do whatever they can to make a sale. Always making sure youre educated before a purchase, always patient and their in store events are well worth going to! Theyre also awesome at helping figure out problems and troubleshooting issues with your tank.

I started my reef aquarium almost 3 years ago. NWA has helped me every step of the way. The tank i started has been through everything imaginable, from unwanted pests, problem algae, water chemistry issues, and plumbing problems. Jen and her team have kept me in the hobby. They helped me through everything my tank could throw at me, and made it better. Today my reef is thriving, and I will keep coming back to New Wave Aquaria. Thanks Guys!!!!!!

The staff here are all incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Excellent prices on everything they have. I was considering an expensive wave maker but the staff suggested a better one for a lower price. ALL of the aquariums look clean and healthy. the selection is great. Ive seen fish there that Ive never seen available in any other Mn aquarium stores. This IS the best aquarium store in Minneapolis

My go to store. I do not have enough kind words to describe the people that work here. Jen the owner is amazing at what she does. Travis the manager can and will help you with anything you have aquarium related. I have gotten to know these fine people very well . They have coral for the beginner and exotic for the pro. They have always taken great care of my needs.

Great place to get your fish and coral they also have a lot of frozen fish food and dry goods some of the dry goods I think are a little over priced but having them available right away is a plus rather than ordering on line and wait for delivery . Great place. Owner Jen and all the stuff are great and knowledgeable.

One of the greatest stores for marine supplies. When I lived in Duluth and came to the cities for interviews, ,I always made sure to stop by on my way to Duluth. Everything looks SUPER healthy, and everyone that works there is super friendly and patient. Cant wait to go back once I get my new reef set up!

Chris Radke

A very beautiful and modern store. Selection of coral is awesome and prices are great too. It was tough to identify who the employees are unfortunately. Though this may have been because there was an event and the room was packed. They are very friendly and helpful when you do find one though.

Jen and her staff are super knowledgable and friendly. Were newer to this industry and theyve been very patient with us. Weve shopped all around the cities and no one has a better salt water selection, especially for reef lovers. Their reefs are museum quality and great to show the kids.

Jake Collins

By far the best LFS in the twin cities. From their knowledge to maintenance, they are 5 stars all the way. The staff and owners are there for the right reasons and not just there to make a buck. I wouldnt go anywhere else for my hobby needs!

Jennifer Jost

Trying to find this place, we were worried we you werent in the right spot. When we found it, we were happily surprised. It was amazing. So much stuff crammed into a relatively small warehouse space. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff.

Dustin Gould

A great store! Everyone at new wave is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The tanks are always stocked with great looking corals at reasonable prices. Its my go to store when Im looking to add anything to my tank!

Nathan Kingsbury

Easily the best reef store in Minnesota. The specimens are top of the line, huge selection of hard to find and collector corals. Jen and her staff are all very knowledgeable a friendly. I no longer shop anywhere else.

Todd Rasset

Have shopped many different fish stores in metro area, New Wave is by far the most well kept, great selections, very knowledgeable staff who are WILLING to listen and help solve issues, not just sell product!

Kellie Trumbull

All of the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They are willing to answer any questions you have about your tank, and will give you a lot of tips along the way. The store is clean and is well kept!

Anna Tyrrell

Have been to many aquarium stores. This is my go to. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The aquariums in the store are the most beautiful Ive ever seen. Cant wait to see the fresh water store.

Susan Ameli

The whole team is wonderful to work with. Ive been given sound advice the whole time, especially with my being new to saltwater tanks. Excellent choice to go to for equipment and stock!
