My wife and I have been amateur Aquarist for years with Koi ponds and Freshwater aquariums. We were cycling another aquarium for Cychlids and went to Keepin It Reef, best decision we have made in years. In the end Reisa asked if we really wanted Cychlids, because our desire and discussion was really better suited for a change to Saltwater. Reisa and Joel patiently walked us through the pros and cons and that afternoon we had drained our aquarium and we were cycling Saltwater. We visited several times for free water checks and to pick their brains as we "patiently " waited for the tank to cycle. Well today is my wife's birthday and we visited again with hopes that our tank had cycled to a point where it was safe to introduce the first fish. Reisa, Joel and Alexa confirmed that the tank was there and we are so excited to welcome our first pair of Clownfish. If you are looking for a well stocked store with a knowledgeable team that have the patience of a Kindergarten teacher, but the expertise of a professor...then look no more. Keepin It Reef is that Aquarist gold mine.

I can't say enough good things about this fish store and the incredible people who work there. When…read moremy tank unexpectedly sprang a leak, I was completely overwhelmed and stressed. It felt like everything was happening at once -- and I truly needed guidance, reassurance, and kindness in that moment. Love was absolutely amazing. Not only knowledgeable, but genuinely compassionate and patient. I never once felt rushed or dismissed -- just supported. Rumi also went above and beyond, answering my emails almost instantly and making sure I had the information I needed right away. That level of responsiveness made all the difference during a stressful situation. What could have been a total disaster turned into a reminder that there are still businesses that truly care about their customers. Their kindness, expertise, and willingness to help meant more to me than I can express. If you're looking for a fish store that treats you like family and stands by you when things go wrong, this is the place. I'm incredibly grateful. They've also given me piece of mind for my future vacations

Having driven 45 minutes to the store with my water sample, which I tested against test strips, don't buy those, I was told the phosphates were too high. They don't include phosphates as a red flag unless they're going to deny you. My nitrate was too high? Nitrate is a normal part of a tank cycle. I've never qualified buying new fish based on having to do a tank change the day before purchase. And phosphate! Serious? Do you even sell that test kit? I've never seen it before. After spending $500 in one week you could do me the courtesy of saying "bring a water sample, it doesn't matter we're not giving you a thing." Notes: they are super friendly and helpful when you're buying something. Just don't expect much. They had a dead fish in one of the tanks that my son pointed out that had been there for at least a day. At least that's what the pleco was thinking. Now, find the tank. They have a 48 hour doa policy. They won't budge, trust me. Ask my seven year old who spent $35 on a butterfly pleco only to have it die within a week. $17.50 would have been enough for me, more than fair I said. Finally, even if you live in Elizabeth or Parker, and you are five minutes away from the store, drive the extra 45 minutes to Wheat Ridge and go to The Fish Den. Tell Michael Jason sent you. They have a better rating than MC Aquatics. Here are my readings according to an API freshwater master test kit ($40 at petsmart) Ph 7.4 High range pH 7.8 Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrate 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm See the pic below. Finally Phosphates: that's a joke. Good luck knowing that. You're welcome. Next time you tell someone nitrate is a 39, make sure that you tell them what the safe range is. And to think, you guys normally charge $6.00 for a water check. Buy your own test kit and save yourself the headache. Date of incident, June 17, 2025 Water sample from the same day.

Poor customer service and suspect return policy…read more I bought a number of items for my son to convert is lizard environment into bioactive. One of those items was a UV light that we ended up not needing. When I went to return it they told me they don't give cash refunds. The light is unused and unopened. The employee pointed to a paper taped to the counter stating that policy. The problem is that when I purchased the dirt, hides and insects, he brought everything to the counter and set it all on top of that notice. So I didn't see it. Nor would I have had the opportunity to see it as nothing placed there went into a bag. When I pointed that out he said it's written in the receipt. Which is also suspect as at that point the transaction is already complete and I had no opportunity to consider their policy at that point. I don't need $100 is store credit. And it's poor business practice to place your refund policy in one place, directly where it will be covered and unseen when checking out. If your goal is to compete and run a viable business how can you continue to lack a reasonable return policy on unused and unopened items?

I placed an online order because they had freshwater eels for sale I have had aquariums for 60…read moreyears The eel was $19 To make the $60 dollars of packing and shipping worthwhile I placed a $300 order including some live bearers As is standard I ordered 3 to ensure 1 male and 2 females On the check out page there was a place for shipping notes routing insurance was added to the invoice with no option to remove it and no link to be able to read the insurance info so my assumption was this was added so that the shipper could replace dead fish They called me before shipping because one of the fish I ordered had Ich So we spent an hour on the phone deciding on a substitution The packaging seemed good when I first opened it as I unpacked the fish I noticed the eel had been packed in a bag that was the same length as the eel and it was dead Eels are fickle Any stress and they die to pack an eel for shipment with no wiggle room was bad and he died Other bags had leaked and barely had enough water to cover the fish I had to open the leaking bags and combine fish from two bags into one so there would be more water for acclimation Then I noticed that they had sent all females for all the live bearing fish Something that a professional should know not to do And it was apparent that the pictures online had been color enhanced because the actual fish received did not have the intense coloring displayed in their pics Had they been honest about what the fish actually look like my order would have been completely different if I had known they were going to unload all females I would not have ordered them because they look like ditch minnows I spoke to a manager and told him about all things listed but mainly because the one fish that prompted a $300 order was dead due to either sick stock or improper packaging and the shop bears the responsibility The manager said I should have specified the sexes of the fish but there was no place on the fish page to choose the sexes even though there was a drop down menu to select size and to choose quantity the only place I saw where notes could be typed was in shipping instructions Besides these are supposed to be professionals When I pressed the manager on this he admitted that when people buy in the store they are asked what sex they want the fish to be I was on the phone for an hour with the guy to make a substitution for a sick fish and that was plenty of time to ask that simple question They also informed me that I would have to pay shipping and packaging again for them to replace the eel with no guarantee it will arrive alive. when I asked about the insurance they had forced me to buy they told me that I would have to contact the insurance carrier and file a claim and even then they probably wouldn't cover the shipping I told them that they should be the one to do all that is necessary to replace the dead eel that died in transit because that is what customer service is Shipping is the responsibility of the shipper I honestly thought the forced insurance on the checkout was so the shipper could cover these kinds of issues Especially since there was no link to review the terms and conditions of the policy And there was no place to unselect the insurance The manager could not explain to me why there was a forced insurance purchase if it didn't cover dead fish their online ordering is a scam They deceive with color enhanced pics, unload excess female fish by not having a place to select the sex, they force you to buy insurance that has no benefit to you if the fish arrive dead, and they deflect blame When I sent an email detailing all this, the owner replied and said that their policy stands I have scoured the website and I cannot find any information that tells the online ordering customers that they will not honor replacing dead fish even if they perform poor packaging or send dead or dying stock They kept telling me they were a small store and couldn't afford to absorb replacement costs for dead fish. Then don't sell online!!!! Or actually purchase insurance to cover replacements including shipping Out of curiosity I went to the post office and the UPS store near my house and asked them the overnight shipping cost for the box they sent with water in all the bags and it was half what they charged for shipping costs Keep in mind they charged $15 for all the packaging material DON'T ORDER FROM THIS STORE Shop at your local store this company is a scam by using bait and switch tactics with pics, offloading undesirable female live bearers, poorly packaging the fish, forcing the purchase of useless insurance, and deflecting blame back onto the customer I asked how this would be if I paid the $60 shipping and packaging for the eel to be replaced and it also arrived dead they had no answer They may be nice in person but they have no problem cheating online customers

Pretty Eyes, (my service dog) and I have been to several Pet Supply stores and my preference thus far is Wheat Ridge, off of Wadsworth. Immediately we are greeted with smiles and how can we help. BATH PLEASE for my dog, to be clear. They hand us a bucket, ask if we prefer 3 towels, OH YES! Fortunately we have our own brushes, for all too many other patrons have taken off with what was offered for years. No Problem and off we go. Pretty Eyes is READY to get CLEANED with special shampoos and conditioners. The on duty gentleman scurried towards the back to clean the plethora of previous customers, while stating, they have been inundated with Doggy Washes this day. NO Problem for a few moment wait. I unleash my Service dog and open the gate, she is off to her favorite side, jumps in and waits. I must mention, the water hose is "Very Durable" a bit stiff in operating, although they are generous in offering aprons, expect to get a bit wet and be prepare in managing the volume first before starting the wash including your choices of shampoo/conditioners. Yet, the choices are wonderful, from Oatmeal shampoo to shampoo/conditioner in same bottle and more! Ready to towel off! They do have a LONG hose for drying, it is a pitched sound, your dog may or may not care for, HAVE YOUR TOWELS READY! This is a fun time, and NO RUSH. Their set up "A Bucket" for all the fur no longer needed, a place to toss your wet towels and leave your bucket or return the bucket to the front desk. GREAT SERVICE. There is also an extra pricing if you choose; either $14.00 per visit or if one pays up front $40.00/each bath will cost $8.00 Have fun!
