This place got all the stuff you will need. A large selection of fresh water and salt water. Fish are really healthy looking. There are shrimps as well. I also like that they have a variety of aquatic plants. There are drift woods and rocks as well as large selection of water treatment for fresh water and salt. I think the price is a little higher than most places I have been to but for a good and healthy fish is is worth the money. The staff seems nice and helpful.

An outstanding Aquarium store that has a really nice selection of prize fish for your showcase aquarium. Very knowledgeable staff and the store is spotless clean. If your a fish hobbiest you need to add Reef to Rift to your bucket list.

Huge aquarium and pond store with live fish, coral, plants and aquatic supplies for your home. Sales people know their stuff. It's a bit humid and hot for the fish, do dress accordingly.

Staff was courteous and helpful. With-in a couple minutes I had a staff member approach me and ask if I needed assistance. I have been to other stores where the staff could care less and they completely ignore you...not here though! They spent the time needed with me with the questions I had. Store looked immaculate. Every tank was very well taken care of. All fish looked very healthy and they had great selection of fresh and saltwater fish. It was great finding out that they quarantine the livestock prior to putting them in display tanks. The coral displays were impressive as well. I only wish this place was closer to me but it probably became my "go-to" fish store.

Very very helpful staff very knowledgeable. They don't push you into one thing or another. They know there stuff and are so great with helping you with any and all questions you may have. Have had nothing but great experiences here. I will continue to go back and get my coral and salt water fish. And of course they offer free water testing. And they have the nicest frag coral in the area. Highly recommend this fish store.

This was a really great store. I drove over an hour to check it out, and I was extremely impressed by how clean they keep all of their tanks. As far as live stock, they seemed to have a good variety of both salt and freshwater species. The guy who got my fish and plants knew exactly what he was talking about and gave helpful advice. I was also happy to see a variety of choices as far as equipment and decor. The tank ornaments included a bunch of unique pieces I hadn't seen before. I'm already planning a second visit.

This was the best fish store I've ever been to! I was just mesmerized when I walked in the door. They had such a large selection of fish, and the tanks were completely clean and there were no dead fish. I went in to buy some angelfish for my 20 gallon tank, and some plants for my 75 gallon, and they had it all! I could not detect a single invasive snail in their plants, which was such a relief. The man that came to help me was so nice and knowledgeable about fish. He handled the fish and plants as if they were his own. I have to say that I have not seen a single fish store quite as amazing as this. I say, if you need anything involving fish, just pop on over to Reef To Rift!!

Great selection, and one of the only high quality stores in the Philly area. I've gone into the city in search of better and can vouch for the fact that this is the best around. They quarantine their fish, have an amazing filtration system, and their storefront is very modern and clean. They're moving, so keep an eye out for a new location!

I stopped in for a specific water treatment product and ended up walking around for nearly an hour checking out their impressive selection of fish and well-priced products. Employees were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I've had aquariums on and off my whole life - this is easily one of the best stores I've been to and I wish it had been around when I first moved to the area and set up my current aquariums.

Overall a good place. Excellent selection of fish and products. The Staff was a bit aloof (the store was empty but I still had to hunt someone down to be helped) but once engaged they were very helpful and nice. The prices were reasonable and they stock better quality brands. Defiantly a small business worth supporting.

Excellent service. The staff are knowledgeable. Gave me a free water testing and then explained the results and options. The guy that runs the place is always available to answer questions and very helpful too. Well stocked with healthy fish and plants. This place is a hidden gem. I can't say enough good things about reef to rift. I left a purchase at the store a few days ago. I went in today to ask of maybe my bag was still behind the counter. The boss knows I've been there 3 times a week for the lastvminth getting a planted aquarium together and replaced the items for me with no questions asked. Top notch. And I bother him for 30 minutes with questions every time I go.

Love the selection of merchandise but the prices are definitely a bit higher than Amazon. However they really have no local competition so if you need it stat...this place is definitely for you. The staff is also helpful with great knowledge about the fish and products. Store is clean and stocked and the tanks are very very clear! I would reccomend this store personally.

The person who helped me knew what he was talking about, was very knowledgeable, and patient with me, but definitely over sold me. I was planting a 5 gallon live tank, he told me I needed to fill it, and sold me 12 plants, costing over $75. The money wasn't the problem, but I had a hard time even fitting them all in in, and it's only been 3 weeks, but I already had to cut back the one plant (that I have 25 individual stems of,) down 2 inches- it was already peaking out of the water...I also purchased "perfect pH 7.0", which I asked about using; he said it was fine and sold it to me. When I went to go use it, it says to not use in live planted tanks...So, why did he sell it to me? I'll will admit that the pricey $80 Fluval light upgrade he told me to buy is amazing. It's worked very well, and while I thought I didn't need an aquarium light that connected to my phone, it's actually been wonderfully helpful, as I can adjust the amount of hours they get of day vs night light, and the strength of each of the 5 lights' color types. I'll be going back for sure, their fish are VERY well taken care of. They're healthy and thriving, living in a clean environment. They also have more fish supplies than I've ever seen in one location.

One of the best laid out aquarium stores in the area, with a great selection of fish. I have gotten several different cichlids and other fish and never had any issues with disease or losses. I always recommend a quarantine tank regardless. Dry goods prices are also reasonable and I would rather support a reputable small business than get them offline

As a repeat customer I have had nothing but good experiences with Reef to Rift. Their selection of fish is at times breathtaking. The tanks are always clean and I've never seen any deaths in their tanks. The staff is knowledgeable and will answer any of your questions. These guys are smart but they don't treat you like you're beneath them. I take my 9 year old son in weekly and they've taught us both so much! They want you to be successful! They won't sell me fish that aren't compatible with what I already have and they've even helped me cure the dreaded Malawi Bloat with minimal loss! Their prices are very fair and if you don't see something chances are it's easily acquired! I love this shop! Looking forward to many many many years of business! Thank you guys for bringing an industry standard to the North Penn area! Once you shop here you won't go anywhere else!

I install and maintain aquariums as a hobby. I love marine life .I am now living in Pennsylvania and it is very difficult to get good quality fishing and supplies at top-notch quality and if a price. I would have to put this operation of very knowledgeable staff at the top of my list. I have worked in many pet shops and aquariums, their staffs knowledge just blows me away.

Amazing selection, always getting new fish in and very knowledgeable staff. These guys are a great help and their fish and tanks are in awesome shape. Water quality is superb and always healthy fish.Also a great selection of driftwood, chemicals, filters and anything else you need.

Large selection of salt and freshwater fish and supplies. Really helpful personnel. Tanks are always very clean. I go out of my way to get my freshwater fish from them mostly due to their wide variety. They also send detailed inventory email updates regularly so you know what they generally have available before heading out the door.

Great store! They can be a little more for some fish, but I can say they are the healthiest. I’d rather pay a few bucks more for a Fish that eats out my hand than one that doesn’t eat.Store is very clean. Staff is always helpful

I really wanted to see this be a good store. I've given them multiple chances to be good, but I keep being dissapointed. They think they can be a great fish store by telling you they're a great fish store (Which they do over and over again, plus they have an attitude and act like they know everything and everyone else is an idiot.). However I have bought three saltwater fish from them, and had problems with two. The first was misidentified, and was a similar looking but much more aggressive species than what I was told I was getting. The second was supposedly "quarantined" and eating. When I got him under better lights at home you could see he was emaciated. When I called, they insisted he was eating or he wouldn't have been up for sale although everyone said someone else was feeding it so no one I talked to had seen it eat. This fish died within a week. It is clear that their "quarantine " procedure is a joke. I will not be buying anymore livestock from them. The only reason I am giving them two stars is because they do have very good prices on some of their dry goods. Unless they loose the attitude, stop talking about how great they are, and actually get their act together, they won't be around long.

Nice, well stocked store with a great selection and knowledgable employees. All 7 fish I purchased survived a week (this is rare) and none show signs of illness.Update: I have been coming here for a few years now. This is the only place I will buy plants and livestock. I very rarely lose a fish from here.

Pretty disappointed, drove an hour to this store in the pouring rains and flooding I may add. Called ahead of time, to make sure they sold coral and asked about their selection. Needless to say I got there and there was not much of a selection. They did have some nice stuff but nothing that wowed me. Didn’t have much salt water fish either. In all it’s a nice store for supplies they have tones but live stock is very low.

I have been in the process of setting up my first serious aquarium. Given my limited experience with keeping fish, as well as a desire to contribute to small local businesses, I was browsing the Internet for an independent aquarium shop. I'd stumbled upon this one, and despite the negative reviews, thought I would check it out since I work close by.I spent a few minutes browsing the shelves before a worker approached me (I think he may have been the owner) and asked if I needed any help. I told him that I was looking to start an aquarium with some cardinal tetras, and then asked for advice on anything from substrates to other fish. He was very knowledgeable and polite! I was impressed with the extensive selection of fish and supplies, the bright, open area, and the personnel I encountered, who had an obvious love for fish!I will be going back once I've cleared out the area for my new tank, but until then I wanted to even the score for this new business. It's been a while since there's been a good aquarium store in the area, and I would like to see this one stick around!

This place has the best selection of freshwater fish around. Their saltwater fish dept is ramping up (store has only been open about a month) and will be equally impressive. Tanks are clean, fish are healthy and the prices they charge for livestock are where they should be. Great store!

Abundance of fish and aquarium supplies, helpful staff. This store pushes more on specialty and higher priced stock and leans away from the chain-store variety although the typical community specimens such as Tiger Barbs and Plecos were available.The owner, as others have mentioned is definitley a type-a combative personality and simple questions such as whether a discount could be had if we purchased what would have reached a few hundred dollars in fish alone was met with a very sarcastic response.Accessory items such as lighting, food and plants is priced at box-store levels and you can buy cheaper online. That is the case, most of the time and buying online means you can't really pick up and check out the item you're considering.The layout is pretty good and the store is expansive enough without feeling lost.They, I believe do not cater to anything but aquariums, accessories and live stock.The store is definitely worth checking out for some nice healthy specimens.

Went there to get my daughter her first betta fish, and the staff was very friendly. Huge selection of fresh water and salt water fish. Prices we're a little high, but worth it with as clean and healthy the fish appeared to be.

Good size fish store. Good selection of fish. Tanks clean. No apparent disease on fish. I deduct one star for a staff member giving me incorrect advice regarding a molly. Fish I bought are solid. Overall I would recommend it.

Excellent fish store. Wide variety of fish. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The cleanest and healthiest fish I have seen. Drove an hour to get here and was so happy we did.

At first I was really excited walking into this store. They have a great selection of fish and supplies all neat and organized. When I was ready to set up my tank again I knew that I would go there for my fish. However after spending over $60 on fish I am greatly disappointed by there fish policy. I bought a $20 Cory Cat and it just died after less then a week of having it. My more fragile Angel fish that I also purchased that same day is doing great as well as the other Cory. I called today and they only have a 3 day return policy on their fish, this is rediculous due to the fact that if the fish is sick going into your tank it can take up to a week to show signs and or die such as mine did. Now I wasted my money on a fish that died in less than a week and they can do nothing. I will not be returning and I will be letting know all the connections I have in the Pet Store world know my experience and to never buy a thing from there. I would have been a loyal customer if this rediculous policy wasn't in place and or if they would do something to try and compensate me.
