Strictly REEF

Went in for the first time feeling very excited. For I am a coral junkie and was about to get my fix… Or so I thought.
They have some really impressive sized hammers you don’t see around here much and over all I wanted to take half of what they had home (not just hammers!)
Fish variety wasn’t that big. I was hunting for certain fish.
The thing making me give 2 stars… Every single tank including the fish only tanks were contaminated with aiptasia! (Glass anemones) okay I get that it happens. But every tank? The lone employee in the store was sitting at the register… Sorry I would be at war with this stuff! The specimens are pretty large so it’s telling me that they have given up on the battle.
I did buy a couple of coral, they are in quarantine and I so far seem to be winning the battle to get them clean.
I may be back if I feel like doing battle with aiptasia again… The coral other than that appears healthy. They didn’t have much on them when I dipped them and they are eating meaty foods with gusto!

My family and I being coral junkies stopped in during last weekends outing to Reno… I am pleased to see the action of the store to start war on the Aipastia issue. The big coral tank looked pretty good. Yes we did end up buying coral and yes we will be back soon!
I can only hope they keep stocking nice corals for decent pricing. Hard to find in our area… The sales lady was very nice and helpful. Thank you for the nice email Steve, looking forward to meeting you in person.

Drove here from downtown to check it out. It is 3pm on a Monday and they are closed with no notice. Wasted a trip coming here and am disappointed. CALL BEFORE YOU COME, who knows how often this happens.

Doesn’t even deserve a star. So confused as to how he’s still in business and how he has such great reviews (probably just a front for something else). Every saltwater tank had aiptasia and a ridiculous amount of algae. The corals were dying and half of them were bleached. Almost all of the fish had ich. There wasn’t proper lighting on any of the tanks and he hassled us the entire time we were there. He also had the audacity to say he has the best corals and prices in town. Honestly, petco has better quality fish and corals than he does and that says A LOT about what we experienced today.

Love this store! The owner is very knowledgable and the fish are healthy. We were able to trade in a fish that developed too much aggression for our tank and even get a good deal on some used equipment to upgrade our tank. The owner stayed open late to help us not once but twice! Love love love Strictly Reef!

I strongly support local businesses, but Steve is a scam artist. We pre-​paid for two seahorses and one pipefish for our tank but when we went to pick them up he only had one seahorse. He didn’t refund our money, he had a «take it or leave it» attitude about it. Honestly I don’t even think he knows very much about what’s in his own store. I almost wonder if this is just a store front for something else. Steve is not trustworthy and very expensive. We will never be back

Used to be a huge fan of this place until Steve Sennes showed his true colors. I had purchased a ton of saltwater fish and corals from his store. I was probably one of his best customers. I made the move to Henderson, Nevada where I had asked Steve if he wouldn’t mind packing all of my corals accordingly and he said absolutely with no issues if I paid for shipping, done deal.
So, UPS drops the order off and not only did I lose every single coral that was shipped ($ 750 plus worth), the box was punctured and he just threw them in there with zero oxygen and combined hard corals with soft corals which caused them to die. Steve has zero ethics and is notorious for not paying his vendors and ripping good people off. If you want good quality stuff from good people, go to Ofishal.
