About Bluewater Reef Aquatics, Inc.

Tucked into a modest storefront in Holly Hill, Florida, Bluewater Reef Aquatics is the kind of family-run saltwater shop that earns its reputation one tank at a time. Owner Jimmy and his sons have built a loyal following across Volusia County and beyond — customers regularly drive from St. Augustine and Flagler Beach just to browse their coral selection, which reviewers consistently call stunning.

From small frags to massive show-piece colonies that have been growing in the shop's care for years, the variety and quality of corals here is the main draw. The livestock selection extends well beyond coral. Visitors frequently mention healthy, well-fed saltwater fish, including blue hippo tangs at competitive prices, clownfish, starfish, and a solid assortment of invertebrates like snails and cleanup crew additions.

The shop also sells RO water and salt mix, and multiple reviewers mention picking up tank water on a regular basis — a small detail that speaks to the trust customers place in Bluewater's water quality standards. What truly sets this shop apart is the depth of expertise behind the counter. Jimmy's diagnostic ability is legendary among local reefers — one 20-year hobbyist described how Jimmy solved an SPS tank problem in two minutes that other stores couldn't crack in two months.

Staff members like Jason are regularly praised for guiding newcomers through their first saltwater setups with patience and honest product recommendations, never pushing livestock that won't thrive in a customer's system. Bluewater offers monthly tank maintenance and house calls for customers who need hands-on help, plus water delivery service and an online store for browsing inventory. The atmosphere is casual and community-oriented — regulars compare it to walking into a place where everyone knows your name.

Prices are frequently cited as fair to excellent, with regular specials that keep hobbyists coming back. For reef keepers anywhere in the Daytona Beach and greater Volusia County area, Bluewater Reef Aquatics delivers the rare combination of deep saltwater knowledge, quality coral inventory, and genuine care for the animals they sell.

Jimmy and crew have had my back for a few years now. They have helped me very step of the way. Recently I decided to get out of the hobby but with the help and support from them we consolidated my two large tanks into one. I couldn’t be happier with the results 👍👍😎😎 Anyone looking for saltwater needs or guidance should DEFINITELY check them out….

I live in St Aug and our LFS closed down a few yrs ago. I happened to be in Daytona for a car show and swung in hoping to buy a few snails for a new tank I set up. First impression of the store was it was "aged". BUT....as I talked to them...they're super cool, laid back, knowledgeable guys and I was surprised by the huge variety of corals they have on-hand. Prices seemed fair. In the end, I only bought my snails, but will be back.

I drove from Flagler Beach to get a certain starfish they had on their website for $24. I got there and the staff insisted it was $74. I showed them a photo from their website and they agreed it was the one in the photo. At this point the kid grabbed the starfish very aggressively trying to shove it in the bag. While this was happening another employee calls the owner and they insist this starfish is $74. The employee told me they didn't have any of the item I came for that was in my cart on their website. Thank God I didnt make my purchase online before going to see how healthy they were first, let alone if the item was actually in stock! Do yourself a favor and head over to The Fish Tank by the speedway instead. Huge difference in atmosphere, friendliness and actually wanting to help their customer to earn repeat business. Very disappointed in my experience at Bluewater reef.

I love this store with my whole heart! I’ve been to so many, but these guys are seriously awesome.. the prices are great, they always recommend genuinely GOOD products and let me know what I’m spending before I spend it. They’re humble, knowledgeable; and it’s clear that they love the hobby. They won’t recommend any live animal that’s not suitable for your tank or your level of experience with care. They want the best for their products, and I love that! It’s not just a “business” to them. I’m so happy I moved back and have them so close!

Jimmy at Bluewater Reef is the real deal! He’s an absolute expert in all things saltwater, and from the moment we walked in, we felt completely at ease. His knowledge, patience, and passion made the whole experience enjoyable—especially for saltwater newbies like us! He even went above and beyond by answering a desperate after-hours question on Instagram (lifesaver!). Thanks to him, our clownfish are thriving, and we’ve added a few awesome inverts to our tank too. Highly recommend stopping in and chatting with Jimmy. You won’t find better advice or customer care anywhere else!

Adopted a tank from someone who was getting out of the hobby. Came to the shop and spoke with Jason. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and gave great insight on what direction I should head in. Will be back soon, thank you!

Place is filthy and unorganized. I understand needing and wanting to charge retail for corals, but when your tanks and corals look like that, you would be crazy to pay RETAIL price on already over priced livestock! If you are going to charge big prices at least put some effort into the merchandise. And make stuff presentable. I’ve seen worse, but not by much. I don’t mind paying for corals, but not top dollar for subpar corals covered in aptasia and FILTHY tanks, just doesn’t sit right with me, if wanting good money show some pride in the merchandise
