The prices are amazing and the owner is so sweet and helpful every time we come here it’s an amazing experience!!! We love it
Every time I visit here they are very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. The lady there takes the time to get to know her customers current set up and will work with you to get your tank running the way you want without high pressure sales and offers helpful suggestions based on your needs and budget. Other employees seem to have had positive helpful attitude aswell. They have always been well stocked with a wide variety of equipment, supplies, coral, fish and more. From where I’ve visited over past couple years they seem to have the best selection of high quality saltwater stuff in salt lake area. Fish and frag tanks have been neat and clean. Unlike many other stores, they don’t leave me worrying my purchase is gonna cause an algae or sickness outbreak at home . Probably best reef shop in the area.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy place to locally purchase saltwater fish/corals for your tank at home or even at the office, OCD Reefs has personally been that place for me. They have knowledgeable and friendly staff that are helpful with whatever you maybe looking for and the majority of the fish are shipped to them in better than average condition. Seriously they arrive looking great! They also have good pricing on their coral selection for those who are reef fanatics such as myself! I’ve been to a lot of fish stores for saltwater fish in the valley and it’s been a rather skeptical experience at other places but OCD Reefs has made it worth driving 25 minutes for. NOTE: This is not a freshwater fish place. It’s just for the saltwater side of the hobby! 😎
Great selection, price, and customer service! We love OCD Reefs
Great advice for dinoflaggelates and good selection of fish and coral.
Amazing prices
Nothing but salt water supplies and fish here– and it’s fantastic for those that sway that way. We came wondering if they sell freshwater supplies– nope. But that’s OK. They are great at what they do offer and specialize in.
Swapped out a broken tank a prior mover broke. It was a tight fight and was not easy as the tank sits in the wall and it was a big boy. I’m looking forward to getting my tank assembled so I can fill it with some goods from OCD.
Each employee here is knowledgeable and friendly. They have amazing fish and just as impressive a selection of invertebrates, corals, and anemones. Their R/O water is inexpensive, they will test your water for everything and for free. Lots of fun to just visit—even more fun to shop!
Great store. Have more dry goods and parts than anywhere else. Very helpful as well.
I loved this place! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The price is very fair and they have a beautiful array of corals. Their display tank is gorgeous as well!
Cool corals and friendly
Great corals and fish and reasonable prices.
Great saltwater aquarium store. I Will be going back many times.
Super happy with this local fish store. I just got in for the first time last week and was really happy with the quality of the fish and livestock. The owner showed me the filtration set up for the coral and fish systems and it was amazing to see. It was very much appreciated to see the detail and quality that OCD Reefs puts into their systems. Cant wait to go back!
Dino was killer to work with. So happy they carry Algae Barn products. Will shop here again
Excellent service

Love this place, Dino Is the best!
I absolutely love OCD Reefs, never have I had a store help me out so much not just with fish but my water, corals, live rock, sand everything! Their knowledge of the hobby is beyond compare to any store I’ve been to and being new to hobby, I’ve been to a lot of stores. Everyone who works there can answer pretty much any question you have and will go in-depth with their information or, “dumb it down” for a guy like me haha. I’d recommend this store to anyone who is looking to get into or already in the hobby. I Love this hobby and I love the help I get from the store!
Super helpful and never felt like I was imposing.
Excellent selection of products and live stock for all types of salt water aquariums! The staff is great and prices are excellent too! I recommend this place to anyone!
These guys are awesome, they know their products, and are amazing at what they do. Pricing is fantastic, and they take the time to explain things to beginners. They’ve gone out of their way to make sure I received my order on products well outside of the time of business, to which I was blown away with! I’d highly recommend anyone looking into Reefing, to come directly to these guys! Fantastic job everyone! Highly impressed, and continue to be impressed with your excellent customer service.
Super stoked I came back to OCD reefs. It has been about a year and they had some tank struggles last time I was in but this time I was blown away! The coral looked great, tanks were beautiful and the fish selection was fire 🔥. Stoked they’re doing so well again!

This is a super cool place. They’ve got the strangest salt water creatures and a boatload of knowledge to boot. They sell new and used set ups and everything for inside and out of your aquarium. This place is for the serious salt water hobbyist!!!
Awesome service and great tank layout. Got some free shells for my hermit crabs and the coral selection is Amazing! Employees were very knowledgeable and helped out a novice improve my tank conditions.
Very knowledgeable, would tell me not to pair a certain fish or buy one if it was not compatible; shows me she wasn’t trying to make money off me and she genuinely cared about the fish being taken care of
OCD Reefs ROCKS!
Kyle and Brandon are the best in the business!!! Thank you for all the great service and advice.
I love this shop. Great prices. And the owners are really good people. This is the best shop in Utah.
Very knowledgeable and where able to answer all my questions, they even filled up my jugs for me and brought them to my car! Very pleased with how organized and clean the store is too Great place for your reef needs!
Beautiful, clean, and healthy tanks with knowledgeable staff and good prices on a huge range of saltwater fish and corals. Both looked healthy, with the fish being lively and The range was breathtaking, and the owner was confident in his ability to source an even wider range. He said he also has the ability to serve as a state-side transhipper if you find something truely rare you are willing to take a risk on and import. While most of the tanks were utilitarian to display the fish and corals clearly, there are several tanks throughout the store that showcase the owner’s skill in design and beautifully balance space, color and light. The owner was also able to offer some advice on caring for my freshwater tanks as he does service and maintain some delicate freshwater tanks even though he does not currently stock freshwater fish in the store.
Out of the way but Kyle and Brandon are great to work with. Worth the drive!
Great place
Amazing people. I would recommend this place to anyone. Great staff helped me on my tank to know what was going on with it. Thanks for the help
