I have been in this hobby many years. Ive visited local fish stores throughout the US and overseas. I currently have a 900 gallon mixed reef. Some of you may know me as Elliott on Reef Central. I visited Kona Reef today and met the owner, Alex. She was very friendly, answered all my questions honestly, and was very knowledgable. The store was BEAUTIFUL, esthetically the nicest store I have seen. You feel like you are in Hawaii ! The entire place was exceptional clean, including the tanks. The selection of livestock was amazing: great selection and healthy. Prices were very fair and they employ a really slick system of tags that are matched to prices and dates of arrival, by searching their website. There are tablets around the store to enter the tag information, very clever idea! They have a fresh and salt water section, however the salt water section is much larger. They carry a large selection of fish and coral. I especially liked their selection of ORA coral. They also have most of the durable goods necessary for advanced reef keeping. Kona Reef will definitely be on my route when I go hunting for new livestock. It was a pleasure being in that beautiful store.

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Straight shooters on dosing supplements and live stock relationships/behaviors. Willing to listen to your personal tank situation and recommend species/solutions. The new location is perfectly centralized opposed to the old SDale spot...very easy to get to. They have outstanding frag and colony selections priced competitively - best in Phoenix. Freshwater side is equally impressive with various planted tanks. Modern layout with TVs for pricing info. What more could you ask for from your LFS?

This is a best place to go if youre looking for fresh plants and fishes. You can tell that they take great care of their fishes and also plants. Not only are the workers there nice and helpful, Thumper the great Dane is super cute and friendly. Would definitely recommend anyone who is looking to start up their aquarium or already have one to come here and check it out. We will definitely be back soon.

Amazing store. Stopped by the other day looking for a new coral, the staff was very kind, polite, knowledgeable, and eager to help. The store was clean and organized with a great selection and an obvious attention to the health of their livestock, more than Ive seen anywhere else Ive been in town. Kona Reef will now be the first, and likely only, place Ill need to go to for all my reef needs.

Stopped by and was really impressed with this store. Had an incredible selection of corals and fish. Was very clean and well maintained, and the staff was very nice and well knowledged, answering all my questions, gave me some advise on how to get rid of the hair algae in my aquarium. Would definitely recommend to everyone as the place to get aquarium supplies, fish and coral.

Wife and I stopped in while shopping for aquariums. The owner and his fiancee spent a very long (and professional) amount of time talking to us about setting up the right kind of tank, the gear needed, and pitfalls to avoid. I was impressed at their courtesy and customer service. We will certainly be back to do our shopping there once we know what we are going to do!!

The staff is very friendly and knows their stuff for sure! You can tell that they not only care for you but also for the fish. They wont sell you anything that you dont need and also wont set you up for failure just to make more money. The store is very organized, modern and looks amazing! They also carry some of the most beautiful pieces of coral I have ever seen.

This is by far the best aquarium store in AZ. The staff are extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Unlike a lot of fish stores, they actually care about the fish, and make sure they are going to a good home. They have a large fresh and saltwater selection. I will definitely be back!

I recently purchased a 105 gallon aquarium from Kona Reef and it looks amazing in my home. They delivered it and set it up for me in time to surprise my husband. They are so knowledgeable and friendly at Kona Reef. Great staff and great prices!

This is my go to LFS. Pricing is great and quality of stock is always amazing. Never any dead fish in displays and tanks are always super clean. Mickey and the big Dane are always happy to help out. Best LFS in the Valley !!!

Huge coral selection from large pieces to small $10 frags. Was able to find some hard to find corals. Was getting annoyed I could only find green coral in the valley but Kona had so much variety. Ill definitely be back.
