Chris and Thomas are very knowledgeable and helped me through my crisis. Many stores would simply prefer to lose a customers business than go out their way. They went above and beyond while staying very professional.Reef Shac has the best quality, best prices, and always has the best selection.Thank you.

Love Reef Shac. This is a great place for frags. Huge selection and probably the best retail prices in Atlanta. Most importantly, the owner is super nice. It is a tough business but he has survived for 15+ years ..

Unparalleled coral varieties with a wide range of pricing for any budget! Best coral shop near the north end Atl, if you ask me!Update: after another visit when I was more talkative, holy WOW, Thomas knows his corals and is happy to discuss ideal care and tank placement. I had a lot of questions about various frags (like a LOT) and he patiently and enthusiastically answered them all! He's a fount of knowledge. As a relative newbie to reefing (under 2 yrs) it's worth the trip just to talk corals and purchase a few frags as payment/appreciation for ALL the info and knowledge on offer!

Seriously the best place in GA to get corals frags AND livestock. All tanks are free of everything you don't want coming home with you. Prices are great and easy to find on thier price board right when you walk in.

I took my daughter here to get advice on setting up a tank and they were extremely helpful. We had the tank set up for a month and returned to buy some fish. They took time to ask us about our tank and made recommendations based on the size of the tank. They really care about the hobby and the health of the fish, coral, etc. They aren’t just there to sell you stuff and send you on your way.

Amazing prices on coral and saltwater fish. They have a huge selection at all price ranges.Rare and hard to find coral and fish for half the cost of most retailers. The fish purchased have all been healthy, I haven’t lost a single thing after purchasing.The store isn’t the “most impressive” compared to the high end reef stores in Atlanta but it’s nice and the staff and pricing wins my business 10 times over.Since shopping here, I’ve not wasted time going anywhere else for my saltwater supplies and needs.They also will order any equipment not in stock for you at a lower price than you can find most anywhere.This place is a gold mine. Don’t miss out on the great finds Shac finds and passes on a great price!

Awesome Small business reef shop! My lady and I drove from Savannah to check out some of the reef shops and personally, I think this was the best stop! We've gone to tons of reef stores but most didn't have the quality of fish and coral, or had bad customer service. This place has both! Can't wait to stop back by at some point👍🏼👍🏼

Recently I decided to purchase my new reef tank from Shac, who was extremely helpful throughout the process while providing the most competitive prices among online and local vendors. He's super knowledgeable about the reefing hobby as evident by his gorgeous display tank. Gives you straight forward advice that you can trust. Literally talked me through his recommendations for a good 30 mins. Can't say enough good things.

I didn't buy a thing but the customer service was excellent. I had just stopped in to check the place out as a former Salt water person would. I walked out with a wealth of knowledge of reef tanks and what it takes to successfully set one up. I have been thinking about getting back in the game and the person there sold me and did it without no pressure to buy a thing. He simply did a knowledge dump on me and peaked my interest. Cool spot go check them out.I would go there first because of this experience, but first i have to make up my mind.

Awesome store! They're expanding. They have bought the shop next to them and they are going to make the place bigger. They are also setting up a 650 gallon show tank! My first visit was great this is my fish store from now on. Thanks Chris!

Great experience at the Reef Shac. Shac is very knowledgeable and doesn’t mind spending a little more time with you to educate while ensuring you find the right coral for your aquarium. I also prefer to support the smaller, local businesses in lieu of the big box stores such as petsmart or petco. Reasonable prices with a great selection is why I will make this a routine stop for my aquarium needs.

Shac has great prices! His coral selection is top notch ( great for reefers. I don't have coral so that is just something I like to browse through) not a huge fish selection (but huge coral selection) but they keep a nice variety and always have 3-5 really cool/unique fish. He posts specials on Facebook groups and his page, so make sure to follow Reef Shac on Facebook bc his weekly specials are AWESOME.

Shac is the man. He knows his coral and fish and anyone who knows him knows he is expanding so fast and will soon be the biggest and best Coral retailer in Georgia. I love shopping at Reef Shac. I have a gorgeous tank in my house and I have referred many of my family and friends to Shac. If you have a Saltwater tank I highly recommend this store. 5 stars for Reef Shac isn't even close to enough. I give Shac 500 stars. Thanks for all your help Shac. Love my tank Buddy and I have you to thank.Mikey

Awesome shop for live coral and saltwater accessories! Staff was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about answering questions! If you have a saltwater tank they have what you need! Cleaner shrimp, fish, salt, they even make saltwater using reverse osmosis to protect your investment!

I recently decided to finally invest in a saltwater aquarium. I did my research on local suppliers and decided to give Reed Shac a try because I like to shop with small businesses rather than the larger stores. The first visit was to seek help with beginning my aquarium. Chris was very helpful. Shac told me I needed to buy water from them to start the tank. Ok no problem. He quoted me 15 dollars per container of water- 5 for the water- 10 for a “refundable container deposit” that i’d get back when I returned the containers. Upon returning the containers today expecting to get back the quoted 10 each deposit- I was then told there’s also a “rental fee” for each container. This should have been explained before I made the purchase- not after. Shac refused to honor the original quote. I’m so disappointed- I would’ve spent at least several hundred dollars in the store- but because of bad business ethics- I’ll now have to take my business to the larger more reputable stores.

I walked in for the first time yesterday and was really impressed with the layout of the store. It's really clean and nicely lasted out so you can see all of there stock. The staff is awesome and was willing to spend the time answering every question I had! If you are into saltwater then you need to check this place out!
