About Coral Reef LLC

Coral Reef has served northwest Ohio's marine hobbyists out of Perrysburg since 1995, making it one of the longer-running saltwater-only specialty shops in the state. Unlike most Ohio aquarium stores, it carries no freshwater section at all, focusing entirely on saltwater fish and coral sourced from reef regions including Fiji, Bali, Jakarta, Vietnam and the Caribbean, with an emphasis on aquacultured and sustainably collected livestock over wild-harvested stock where possible. The shop has built a devoted following described in reviews as customers willing to drive an hour or more to shop there, drawn by immaculate holding tanks and staff who test customers' water and ask detailed questions about tank setups before recommending livestock. Reviewers specifically mention staff walking first-time saltwater keepers through the difficult early weeks of a new reef tank, and the shop is noted for occasionally making house calls for maintenance work. With roughly 113 reviews and a 4.5-star average, it remains a smaller, specialist operation rather than a high-volume general store, consistent with its narrow marine-only focus.
