Triad Reef Critters

Kudos to the dedicated staff here! There was a major problem with my client’s salt water aquarium. Justin was on it immediately. I was so relieved, and appreciative of the prompt and knowledgeable service received. Thank you!

Hands down the best salt water store in the triangle area. I have been to every one in the area a number of times, and I’m willing to drive the over-​an-​hour commute to TRC rather than the 20-​minute commute I have for the other stores in the triangle. Livestock are healthy and the prices are great. Corals range from $ 10 frags to very expensive, but all are well-​priced for size and type of frag. Fish are all well-​maintained and I have yet to have any problems with them. Prices on dry goods are great for the area — pretty much the exact price you’d pay online. Family-​owned business. Immaculate tanks. Friendly and knowledgable staff who won’t try to sell you something your tank/​experience can’t handle. I’ve even asked a few employees to buy certain things as a test, and always have been told that they won’t do it. Great folks. Absolute pleasure to shop at.

This place is awesome. …you can get anything you need for you aquarium needs… Very wide selection for salt water setups… The people here are very nice and extremely knowledgeable. …

Very cool place ! Huge selection of all types of salt water fish and accessories. Staff is very friendly and knowledgable.

Absolutely wonderful service! Family owned and operated, they are all exceedingly knowledgeable on ever subject I could think to bring up. I was really enjoying myself just learning things as much as I am sure we will enjoy our new fish friends! Extensive salt water selection that can’t be beat anywhere in the area. This is most likely my new spot for all things tank related! Very reasonably priced and surprisingly good hours of operation! Loved the entire experience.

Very useful staff. Very friendly and helpful. Lots to choose from. Check in on a regular basis because they are constantly getting in new selections and they can custom order if you need them to.

This is probably one of the best salt water stores in the area (if not the best). The selection is great, the staff is really knowledgeable, and the owners are super nice. Sometimes their two little dogs are there, and they’re adorable. They usually have some pretty great deals, too. Almost all of my staff interactions have been wonderful; they’re all really helpful. There’s one girl there that isn’t the friendliest and actually was a little rude when I was there last, but everyone else I’ve encountered has been really nice. I know Justin is in school for aquarium science (I think that’s what it is), and everyone else really knows what they’re doing as well. Great place to go if you have any questions.

I recently made a trip to Greensboro for business. I saw a lot of 5 start reviews for this business and decided since I was in the area I would stop by and check it out. I was kind of disappointed, since I was expecting a 5 star experience. Their coral tanks had some algae issues.(especially the $ 10 and $ 20 tanks), but most of their stock appeared fairly healthy. I looked around a while and asked the girl working there how big a certain coral would get (it looked small) and if it needed any special attention, she kind of snapped at me and said it would all overgrow my tank if I just let i grow and never cut it back, I could tell she was having a bad day or something. I started to just leave, but I talked to a man working there and I did purchase a couple of frags before I left. I don’t think this is a bad store, but I was a little disappointed after seeing the reviews it got elsewhere. I may stop there again sometime, but next time I will know what to expect.
