About
OCD Reefs is a dedicated saltwater-only aquarium store in Salt Lake City, UT, and it has become a cornerstone for the area's reef-keeping community. Step through the door and you're surrounded by pristine frag tanks brimming with torches, frogspawn, hammers, goniopora, and beautifully grown-in acropora, plus a remarkable diversity of scolymia. Out-of-town visitors who stopped in recently singled out frags that are "very fairly priced and large," with everything clearly labeled and the tanks kept spotless — a detail that matters when you're trying to keep algae and disease out of your home reef.
The centerpiece Red Sea S1000 mixed reef display is a genuine showstopper, packed with a big Kenya tree, a garden of torches, and corals available for sale right off the rack in Salt Lake City, UT. As a Red Sea dealer, OCD Reefs carries the brand's tanks, parts, and accessories, alongside Reef Nutrition and Algae Barn products and a deep wall of dry goods that locals say competes with online retailers on both selection and price. They stock Hydra lighting too, and when one customer's unit arrived defective, the team swapped it on the spot without hesitation.
Staff names like Dino and Brandon come up again and again. They ask real questions about your existing setup before recommending anything — no high-pressure sales, just honest guidance tuned to your tank and budget. They run thorough water testing, sell affordable RO water, and have maintained saltwater systems for local businesses, including a pediatric clinic, for years.
" A few guests have mentioned slow greetings on busy days and coral prices on the higher side, though most consider them fair for the quality. OCD Reefs is closed Sundays, with weekday hours running until 7 PM — worth planning around. For anyone running a reef tank near Salt Lake City, this saltwater fish store is well worth the drive.

Customer reviews
“Came in, and wasn’t acknowledged right away both employees were on their phones. The store was nice but I felt they had very limited selection of products. I think the location could be better as well, in a very weird spot I feel moving it into an another more well known shopping area would help a lot!”
