    Staff is super knowledgeable and their house blend of frozen food is loved by all of our fish. Elite takes care in their presentation and fish husbandry and it shows. Clean tanks and great presentation of corals along with a wide selection of dry good.

    This place makes me sad I only have freshwater aquariums! I came in here for some Seachem ParaGuard after having found this store on Seachem's website listed as a dealer. I had called around to the (mainly) freshwater stores that I frequent, and their prices were $10 higher for half the size!! While I was here picking it up, I was amazed by how clean and well laid out this store was. Everything here seems happy and healthy, and the staff are pleasant as well. Can't wait to get into the saltwater side of things so I can become a frequent customer here, instead! I had started believing fish stores were cramped, overstocked, and dirty with half dead fish- but this place is changing the game! This is a very nice establishment. You can tell the people actually care about the hobby, not just the profit.

    This is my favorite aquarium store in the Denver area. The staff is always friendly and knowledgable. The selection never disapoints and the variety of corals, fish, and invertabrates is some of the best in the area. The store is clean and well taken care of. The tanks are always in pristine condition and the livestock all look healthy and vibrant. An added bonus is the Elite Reef Cash where you get a percentage of your purchase rebated for future purchases.

    There were lots of display tanks and fish. Had some variety in fish but very busy on a Sunday so it was hard to get help with questions. Reasonably priced fish and live rock.

    The manager is wildly knowledgeable and helpful, super understanding as well, no judgement. The store is really clean and everything seems so well cared for. They seem to genuinely care about your tank, not making a profit, which is what keeps customers!

    Friendly, knowledgeable, good livestock selection, good gear selection. I just wish they were closer. I have to drive from Fort Collins to get there.

    People mention staff is friendly, not from my experience, I’ve been there a couple times and staff not even acknowledges you, i purchased a few fish from here only because it was the only store that had them in stock otherwise I’ll probably buy elsewhere.

    A couple months ago I wanted to get into the hobby and was referred here from a friend. I got all of my equipment, fish & etc. from Elite Reef and don’t regret going anywhere else. Along my short journey so far they’ve been very patient with teaching me as my tank progresses. Josh has been amazing and other staff that I’m unaware of their names. I would recommend anyone to come here!! Thank you everyone @Elite 🙂

    Excellent reef store, has helped us a lot in getting a small salt tank up and going. Always solid advice from great employees!

    Fish/other salt water creatures are always in great health. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and passionate! They also often help me with carrying the RO and salt water jugs to my car.

    I had a great time there yesterday while figuring out what I needed to set up a new tank. I often feel like I'm talked down to at reef fish stores, but these people actually chatted with me and showed me a few fish that would work well for my oddly shaped tank. I also bought a filefish there, it's looking a little rough, but acclimation sometimes takes a toll. Anyways, thanks for the help! And also thanks for being cool with me being there a tiny bit past closing time.

    One of my favorite Reef stores in the Denver area. Livestock always look fantastic and the store is very well maintained. Store employees are very knowledgeable and friendly!

    We are starting up in saltwater, so a lot of questions and a young gentleman named Payton was very helpful and spent quit some time with us and answered all our question. Very helpful and seemed very knowledgeable about fish, coral etc Would definitely recommend!!! Best shop we've been to in town.

    Great store! Clean tanks and healthy livestock. Beautiful corals too, although I have a FOWLR I still love too look. My fish devour their house blend of frozen food. They are very good about ordering fish for you as well, everything o put on the list has come in pretty quickly, some other stores I never even heard from years later lol. I highly recommend coming here you'll find yourself staying in there for a bit looking at all the pretty corals. Their coral cash saves you money too.

    I really enjoy coming here and they are always keen on making special orders. They have some great prices on invertebrates like snails and crabs, urchins too, and a wide variety of fish for different tanks and setups. The staff is pretty knowledgeable and they have a wide selection of treatments, equipment, nutrients and foods available, along with macro algae, copepods (definitely the #1 product you should always put in your tank imo) and phyto. Good discount program as well.

    My favorite saltwater fish store in the Denver Metro. Once a month or more I will do a tour of 4-6 SW fish stores in Denver. I always make sure Elite Reef is my last stop because I know more likely than not they will have either what I am looking for or when just browsing will more likely than not have something I want and take home. This way my purchaes don't have to wait long in a ice chest in the car while I hit up the other stores. But they make up about 65% of all my SW livestock purchaes. Some of the staff I feel like could learn a little bit more. I hear them (2 of the staff not the manager or owner) making not wrong persay answers to customers questions but not really accurate either. But the few answers I heard them make were minor and would not cause harm just prevented the buyer from getting something that could have helped them in their situation. Small things. Staff is always friendly and accessible. And this place is always my favorite SW fish store to hit up. And if I don't have 3 hours for a fish store tour then this is always the one shop I go to.

    Very clean store and displays. Fish all appear healthy and they have a large selection of corals. The staff are all very freindly and knowledgeable. They also generally have a pretty decent stock.
