Reviewers consistently call it one of the largest aquarium shops they've visited, with tank after tank of healthy, vibrant corals and fish spanning both saltwater and freshwater. The coral selection is the real draw — Goniopora, hammers, zoas, encrusting frags, and torch corals fill the displays, all under carefully tuned lighting. Freshwater keepers aren't left out either, with tropical fish, goldfish, and a solid inventory of food and equipment rounding out the offerings. The Norco shop is run by Jimmy, whose name comes up repeatedly in reviews. He personally maintains a 350-gallon marine aquarium at a customer's office and has guided newcomers through their first reef setup, breaking down the complexities of saltwater chemistry in plain language. Multiple reviewers credit Jimmy and his team with turning a single visit into a crash course on reef keeping. One customer described arriving to buy a couple of frags and leaving with a full coral lineup after the owner offered to open early on a Sunday to accommodate a long drive home. That kind of personal investment defines the store's reputation. Pricing is a frequent highlight — the store price matches BRS (Bulk Reef Supply), which is a serious commitment for a brick-and-mortar retailer. Corals are described as fairly priced given their quality, and the livestock consistently arrives healthy and thrives in home tanks. The store itself is clean and well-organized, with displays beautiful enough that some visitors linger just to admire the setups. Reef Lounge does operate by appointment, which isn't always clearly communicated online — worth confirming before making the drive. Their online store ships corals nationwide, though the in-store experience is where the shop truly shines. For anyone building a reef tank in the Inland Empire, this is a destination store worth the trip to Norco. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater, Saltwater - **Livestock & Products**: Corals, Reef, Live Rock, Goldfish, Aquarium Equipment, Fish Food, Dry Goods - **Services**: Tank Maintenance, Tank Setup, Consultation, Online Store, Ships Fish - **Known For**: Premium Equipment, Knowledgeable Staff, Great Selection ## Highlights - One of the largest aquarium shops in the Inland Empire with massive coral and fish selection - Price matches BRS (Bulk Reef Supply) on equipment and supplies - Owner Jimmy provides hands-on reef setup guidance and ongoing tank maintenance services - Wide coral variety including Goniopora, hammers, zoas, torch corals, and encrusting frags - Online store ships corals, with in-store shopping by appointment ## Brands Carried Brs ## Customer Reviews **"Christopher Hester"** - 5/5 - a week ago > Store is clean. Staff is helpful and kind. Excellent selection at amazing prices! Was worth the little drive. **"Clay Lacey"** - 5/5 - 2 weeks ago > By far the best aquarium store I’ve been to in the Inland Empire area. Every fish and coral I’ve purchased here has been healthy and thrived in my tank. It’s a bit of a drive to get there for me, but 100% worth it. **"jake wasley"** - 5/5 - 3 weeks ago > They have great coral and great customer service! Beautiful store with everything you could want for your aquarium! **"T.U"** - 5/5 - Edited a month ago > Ny favorite place to buy tropical fish and water **"Jessie O"** - 1/5 - 2 months ago > No where on the website,google,yelp, instagram does it say it is by appointment only. I tried to call to set up an appointment and they dont even pick up the phone. This is truly a shame Guess LAX will take my coral money. **"Vi Hasan"** - 5/5 - 3 months ago > They were really friendly and helpful on finding my goldfish a tank mate. The inside of the store also looks incredible. **"Ameer Jalal"** - 5/5 - 4 months ago > Got my whole reef setup from here. Went from 0 understanding to about 50% understanding with just one visit. The staff is super helpful and really explains the dynamics of saltwater easily and plainly so you can understand. **"Michael Liscotti"** - 5/5 - 4 months ago > I get my tank water here great selection of fish and reef products **"Dstar01"** - 5/5 - 5 months ago > Best fish store I've seen **"Kyle gravelle"** - 5/5 - 6 months ago > 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Best Coral Shop Ever – No Contest Reef Lounge Norco is hands-down the best saltwater coral shop I’ve ever been to. The selection is insane—literally every tank is packed with healthy, colorful, unique pieces at super fair prices. But what makes it next level is the customer service. I came in expecting to grab one or two frags… and left with a full lineup (Goniopora, encrusters, hammers, zoas—you name it). Why? Because the staff, especially the owner, made it an unforgettable experience. He offered to open hours before the shop even opens on Sunday just so I could pick up my corals safely for a long trip home. He held all my pieces, helped me pick them out one by one, and is even keeping an eye out for special frags I’m hunting. They don’t treat you like just a customer—they treat you like part of the reef fam. If you’re serious about building a gorgeous reef and want the kind of service that makes you smile for days after the visit—this is the place. 10/10 — I’ll be back every chance I get. 🐠🔥 ## Nearby Stores - [Aquarium Specialties](https://www.fishstores.org/california/redding/aquarium-specialties) - Redding, CA - 5.0/5 - [Art’s Underwater Reef](https://www.fishstores.org/california/pasadena/arts-underwater-reef) - Pasadena, CA - 5.0/5 - [Fintastic Fish](https://www.fishstores.org/california/scotts-valley/fintastic-fish) - Scotts Valley, CA - 5.0/5 - [High Tide Aquatics](https://www.fishstores.org/california/oakland/high-tide-aquatics) - Oakland, CA - 5.0/5 - [Holy Reef](https://www.fishstores.org/california/morro-bay/holy-reef) - Morro Bay, CA - 5.0/5 - [Oceans Aquarium Design](https://www.fishstores.org/california/signal-hill/oceans-aquarium-design) - Signal Hill, CA - 5.0/5 --- *Source: [FishStores.org](https://www.fishstores.org/california/norco/reef-lounge-norco)* *Last updated: February 8, 2026*
