Reefco Aquariums in Green Brook Township, New Jersey has built a devoted following among saltwater hobbyists across the state — and beyond. Customers routinely drive two hours or more to browse their showroom, and it's easy to see why. The store's tanks are consistently described as immaculate, with crystal-clear water, zero visible algae, and meticulously arranged coral flats that showcase an enormous variety of coral genus and species.
Owner Brian started selling frags out of his house, and that hands-on passion has scaled into one of New Jersey's premier reef destinations. The coral selection is the main draw. Reefco operates its own coral farm, which means the frags and colonies on display are healthy, established, and pest-free.
Acropora lovers will appreciate that multiple reviewers report never losing a single frag purchased here. Beyond corals, the store stocks a curated selection of saltwater fish and invertebrates — not the widest variety you'll find, but every specimen is in excellent condition. Their frozen foods and dry goods move quickly thanks to the volume of tanks they service, so nothing sits on the shelf collecting dust.
What truly distinguishes Reefco is their full-service aquarium design, installation, and maintenance operation. They've set up everything from 60-gallon cubes with Hydros automation to 180-gallon reef systems, handling plumbing, wire management, and livestock transfer in a single day. Their bi-weekly maintenance clients rave about a completely hands-off experience — just feed the fish and enjoy the view.
The team even includes a marine biologist on staff, which speaks to how seriously they approach water chemistry and livestock health. Pricing is competitive with online retailers like BRS, and a rewards program sweetens the deal for regulars. Staff members like Doug and Sam earn personal shout-outs for patient guidance and honest recommendations.
For anyone running a reef tank in New Jersey, Reefco delivers the rare combination of premium livestock, expert installation, and ongoing service under one roof.

Brian and his staff are true professionals. They always have a healthy assortment of corals, fish, and invertebrates. Brians drive to succeed and his integrity in taking care of his customers and their livestock is unmatched. I recommend them for all your aquarium needs

This is the most pristine store I have ever been in. The tanks are immaculate and while it's not a large variety of fish like you might see in some of the larger stores, the fish are incredibly healthy and the tanks are incredibly well-maintained The corals are absolutely stunning. I expected the prices to be on the high side and was pleasantly surprised very fair pricing! They also offer a rewards program, which is a nice perk. Well worth the drive even if you're not local.

Went to Reefco today which was my third time and the staff is very helpful! This store is so clean and well taken care of. The prices are very good and the frags are extremely healthy. Never lost a frag from here and I've only bought acros

Brian and his team installed an aquarium back in April and it has been a great experience working with the Reefco team. I recently had an issue and he helped me out through the process of correcting it. I highly recommend this store.

Reefco is one of those rare aquarium stores that is worth the visit, you'll want to stay for hours as you get lost in their aquariums and livestock! Selection of products, fish and coral is impressive, livestock is extremely healthy and includes a wide variety. The aquarium installations in homes are well designed and maintained, I don't have to do anything other than feed the fish! It's not easy to find service in any industry that caters to you like Reefco does. I highly recommend Reefco for retail along with aquarium design, installation and aquarium services.

I had a great experience with ReefCo to order and setup a new 150 gallon reef aquarium. Even though I have 5+ years of experience in the hobby, having the advice and expertise of ReefCo throughout the process was a huge benefit. I knew what size reef tank I wanted, but they were able to provide advice on specific details and product / equipment recommendations that would work best for my situation. Delivery day went smoothly and the guys doing the setup did a fantastic job. Everything from the tidy plumbing to the well-organized wire management was a way better result than I could have achieved myself.
