Aqua-Vault

Fantastic experience: Best shop in DFW. Hands down. I have been to WWC and TSA in Orlando, and AV rivals them both. The owner Tyler will get you taken care of. He will also answer questions and issues, so hit him up.

Fantastic experience: I’ve completed dozens of purchases and auctions with Aqua-Vault and every one of them have gone perfectly. The corals are high-end and arrive in California in less than 24 hours. I’ve spoken with Tyler who is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful each time. I’m looking forward to visiting the store in Dallas.

Fantastic experience: Nearly 3 months ago, I decided to have a go at another salt water aquarium. I explained my "vision" to Dry and they have been my trusted guides ever since. Best experience I've ever had in 20+ years of fish keeping! Staff is knowledgeable, friendly and always have time for my questions, they genuinely want me to succeed.

Fantastic experience: Tyler does an amazing job growing and selling all these coral. Can’t say enough good things about aqua-vault. Love the auctions.

Fantastic experience: Nice, clean coral and the pricing you can get through the auctions and online flash sales are pretty much the best you can get. The price to quality ratio is almost unbelievable. Other shops charge twice as much for smaller frags with the plugs covered in algae. If I had one area of improvement it would be to have labels and pricing on the coral in the store because it would really help relative newbies who are learning to identify types and understand pricing.

Fantastic experience: Well worth the hour drive! Staff was knowledgable, friendly, and took the time to answer our questions. The coral we purchased acclimated perfectly and are already open and doing well in their new environment. Will definitely be purchasing all of our coral here from now on!

Fantastic experience: Tyler and the Guys thank you very much I appreciate the beautiful Corals and taking the time out to make sure I received my order today . All the corals are doing great definitely will purchase more items from you as always the prices are very good in the auction sometimes you can score a great deal

Fantastic experience: Awesome folks that know their stuff! Every tank is immaculate and livestock is super healthy. Best shop in DFW.

Fantastic experience: Tyler is a machine and always seems to provide an assortment of quality coral, fish and inverts. Great customer service and selection. Don't be afraid to ask questions he is very knowledgeable and friendly enough. Forever customer!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about this shop. So I will just say they are awesome. Knowledgable, beautiful setup, and so helpful. Favorite place to go for my aquarium needs, both saltwater and freshwater. .

Fantastic experience: This store is insane! It is extremely nice! Salt water fish, snails, shrimp, urchins, annemonies etc. Crazy selection of corals here. From tiny baby ones to big ones. They also carry now freshwater fish, snails and plants. Plenty of fresh and salt water supplies and food. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you haven't.

Fantastic experience: Cool store setup & great experience viewing the very wide selection of beautiful corals! Great customer service!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful setup , fantastic selection, excellent customer care. My new go to for sure . Will be getting in on the online auctions next time!

Fantastic experience: Huge selection of corals.. very impressive. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. Best place I’ve been to in DFW for corals so far.

Fantastic experience: Ordered from them online, communication, payment, speed was nothing but perfect. The products showed up and began to extend in my tank almost immediately. They’re just as pictured. I have many lfs near me including a big hitter in New Jersey but I’ll happily order from these guys again due to how great everything came.

Fantastic experience: Did in-store pickup. Great experience and cool looking shop. Service was quick and painless. I will definitely shop there again.

Fantastic experience: Coral is always super clean, and I always get exactly what I purchased! Coral Vault has been my best experience buying coral online 100%! Love that I can hold off on shipping as long as I pay for my winnings! They run a tight business with awesome products! Awesome customer service! Very organized and well run! I tried other online auction type businesses when I was first starting out. Their auctions were fun, but I never knew what I was actually going to receive! I decided I'd rather go with a business that is more reliable in terms of their products, pictures, and descriptions. I love knowing that I'm going to recieved what I paid for!!! Coral Vault is awesome for coral auctions!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great location very helpful when I had questions about my tank highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Always professional and beautiful corals and fish!!!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful. Staff answered all my questions and spent time walking me through the types of corals and their care.

Fantastic experience: Amazing shop with great selection, I wish it were closer to my house. Service was fine.

Fantastic experience: Most amazing corals. Cleanest facility and nicest most helpful staff I’ve ever experienced. They have great prices too.

Fantastic experience: Order came packaged great. Love the updates. Will be ordering more.

Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service and the best collection of corals in the DFW metroplex!

Fantastic experience: Everything in tank. Looks amazing. Torch’s super healthy. Zoe’s Goni fully extended within minutes, multiple head on each zoa frag. Good god you are the best kept secret in the coral industry. Your my new “local” shop will be buying more.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable..we love this place!!.. highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Drew was helpful and informative in helping us select coral within our budget.

Fantastic experience: Very happy fast on shipping they help u out and msg u personaly when things have shipped very happy

Fantastic experience: Healthy coral and fish. Very knowledgeable staff. Always great customer service

Fantastic experience: How do I leave a 10 star review? The guy who helped out was great, very informative and never seemed bothered with our novice and ignorant questions. He helped us set up our first tank. Once we get the hang of this saltwater aquarium, we will be definitely upgrading or setup a second one. Highly recommend the place. I'll add a pic later one once we get more fish, better lights and corals. Corals is the goal one day.

Fantastic experience: Great place to buy corals and fish.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful..healthy and clean coral..pics are stunning but in person breathtaking You have a customer for life...

Fantastic experience: The coral-vault is a step above. Their corals are gorgeous, and their tanks are meticulously maintained! I always dip my corals, but am yet to find any pests or hitchhikers on their products. Their auctions are fun and addicting, and if you’re patient you can score some real wins! They’ve let me borrow their PAR sensor, so that I was able to tune my lights in my tank to make sure that my corals get the right amount of light. Seriously, these are the guys you want to buy from.

Fantastic experience: This place was amazing! Great service and awesome selection of fish, coral, rock and so much more! Drew help us out testing a water sample of ours to give us peace of mind and point us in the right direction for future plans for our clowns, huge thank you to Drew and the rest of the team up there! We’ll be back for sure!

Fantastic experience: Super helpful staff! Love all the different corals and fish!

Fantastic experience: I was somewhat skeptical when I saw they were auctioning such nice corals off starting at $1. I bid on a few and came our with 5 really nice corals. They arrived when they said they would and after activating them they look awesome in the tank. I'll definitely be buying more in the future.

Fantastic experience: Another great experience with coral vault. Corals look great and were well packed.

Fantastic experience: The best coral at the best prices!

Fantastic experience: Love the auctions! The corals are always vibrant and healthy when they arrive!

Fantastic experience: I’ve ordered with them several times and they have been great every time.

Fantastic experience: Great service and shipping

Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful corals! Arrived in pristine condition and fast! Colored up and thriving w/in 12 hrs of being in the tank!! Wish I lived in Texas! Will be buying again and again

Fantastic experience: Top notch in every way! This store is an aquarium keeper's dream. I drive 45 minutes several times a month to shop here. Check out their website too!

Fantastic experience: When there was a delay in my order they went above and beyond by driving to manufacturer to see what was delaying order and made sure the order went out. Totally recommend

Positive experience: Being new to the saltwater hobby, and this place being the closest saltwater store to my home I drove over. Really just expecting to look at the cool corals and fish. I asked an employee, Drew, a dumb question or two about how to get started etc. He took the time to sit down with me and explain every single question I had and more. We probably spent an hour just going over every little detail of what my new aquarium was going to be like and how to get to where I wanted to be. Drew never made a sale, or even pushed any products on to me. He honestly just wanted to help in any way he could, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Will definitely be back to see Drew, and get more advice and hopefully get him and the business some sales. Exceptional variety of corals, fish and everything in between. I just wish they were open for longer and on more days.

Fantastic experience: Tyler and Evit are amazing people. They helped us build a custom tank and are always there when we need anything. The store is always clean with a family atmosphere. Highly recommend them!!

Fantastic experience: By far the best customer service I have ever experienced in the industry. Tyler was very communicative and work amazingly around the heat wave that swept over Texas. He was very receptive to my needs around shipping and had no complaints about holding corals for better shipping weather. The coral by far came in very healthy and opened up in less than an hour from adding them. I did a dip and inspection the frags prior to adding them to my tank and I found zero pests in the dip water or on the frags. Great work Coral-Vault crew!!!!! Can’t wait till I get to visit the shop in the near future. God Bless

Fantastic experience: This is the most beautiful place I've ever been! Loved every minute of it. Amazing. Want to go here everyday if I could.

Fantastic experience: Evet helped us, thanks ! Their store is so clean and organized. All the live animals are so healthy. We bought several corals from their recent sale, so I can't wait to pick them up !!! We moved from Cali and are having a hard time to find a best store in this area, but this is the one :) sorry for the poor images. You better visit them!! Their displays are so cool

Fantastic experience: Best high end coral store in the entire DFW area! Tyler and David are extremely knowledgeable and helpful! Make this your next stop for amazing corals

Fantastic experience: Great experience with coral vault. Quick reply to any questions or concerns you may have. The best thing is their experience with shipping corals. UPS delayed my package and it arrived a day later. No problem, the heat pack was still warm and the coral was not stress. Happy customer on my side, Thanks.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! They have a wide variety of different coral and fish, all of which look great and healthy. They’re very helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I bought 6 corals from here from a R2R sale. While a tad hesitant at first due to not hearing of them previously, I can only say - GIVE THEM SOME BUSINESS. The corals were expertly packed, warm to the touch when arrived and very cleanly packaged. I will definitely return for more as space permits. Thank you Coral-Vault! The sticker is awesome too ;)

Fantastic experience: Awesome shop with super healthy corals and great prices. Can’t wait to buy from you guys again!

Fantastic experience: I have been in the hobby for over 30 years. Moved to Texas from Hawaii and decided to start another tank so checked out several shops within a 30 mile radius. This shop has the healthiest looking corals and fish that I have seen in Texas so far. I have purchased both fish and corals and they all are thriving. I would definitely recommend this shop.

Negative experience: Purchased a tank from Tyler who owns Coral-Vault and things didn't work out as I hoped it would. Planet Aquariums gave Coral-Vault a refund for the tank that was sent to me, and I have been waiting over a month for the refund to make it to me from Coral-Vault. It sure seems that the business account being used to refund me through Paypal from Coral-Vault is purposefully being left empty so refund bounces. Seems sketchy that funds can't just be sent to me vs pending refunds for over a month. Edit after response: After the first refund bounced, you refused to send funds directly to me in order to finalize the issue for "accounting purposes." If that is the case, its easy enough at tax time to put in costs so you aren't taxed on monies refunded. You could have loaded your Paypal account with the funds in order for a refund to process, but you did not do that either. Second refund bounced this morning and was auto cancelled after I patiently waited another two weeks. Its been a month and you still have the funds. It's in Paypal case review. No need for a phone call unless its for you to tell me you're sending me funds directly so that I am not waiting in refund limbo with Paypal.

Fantastic experience: Awesome! I haven't been to the store front, I've done all my shopping online. Their website is super easy to navigate, laid out well, and super fun to participate in the auctions! All their stuff is shipped extremely well, even in a wisconsin winter! I appreciate everything they've done there and all the help they've provided when I've inquired!

Fantastic experience: Five stars all the way the only company I would trust to work on my 1500 gallon aquarium

Fantastic experience: 1st Time participating in a coral auction and shipping. Won some amazing zoas. Few hiccups, no fault of theirs. Tyler was very helpful. My Grim Reaper, Mystic, Blue Lagoons and Pink Ring of Death are FIRE. They were open and beautiful in less then 2 hrs. Packaged tight and FASSST. I am blown away and will be ordering again soon. TOP NOTCH COMPANY.....

Fantastic experience: Coral Vault has been great to work with. The owner Tyler is very communicative and responds quickly. I’ve worked with him to make several videos and the livestock he provided was top notch. I haven’t had a chance yet to visit the store but of his online professionalism equates to the quality of the store, then I can’t wait to get there!

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with the store and all the knowledge that Tyler had. He was able to answer every question I had an set me up with everything I needed. Highly recommend this shop!!! Thanks again Tyler

Fantastic experience: Great place to buy top notch corals. Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Don’t hesitate to stop on in and get you some (Coralsdownsouth)

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Great place for good information on how to keep a tank. Stop by and see the corals

Fantastic experience: What I look for at a aquarium store - Great service Great corals Great prices Great ambience What I found at this store - Great service (Tyler, Josh & Becky) all great people to deal with! They have white lights outside their door but it’s like their door is a prism cuz everything that is past that door is a rainbow just like when you shine a white light through a prism. Great coral selection. Great pricing Great ambience!

Fantastic experience: Coral-Vault is awesome! They were very friendly and explained all the types of coral for me. Not only that, but their prices are very good. Definitely a great place to go if your looking for some beautiful coral.

Fantastic experience: They are always so helpful. There is a great selection of coral. I’ve added many beautiful pieces to my aquarium.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful selection and more importantly wonderful staff!

Fantastic experience: From what I’ve seen online, they take great care of their animals and care about this hobby.

Fantastic experience: Very nice people with Top quality corals! Very easy to deal with and very professional! Would highly recommend this shop to anyone in the USA!

Fantastic experience: This is the place for high end corals and fish. When i found this place I was surprised that a fish and coral store could be this awesome. They are always playing good music and the vibe is chill. They always have deals going on too. If you live far from this shop you will not regret making the drive. The only sad part is they are moving soon so i cannot wait to visit the new bigger shop.

Fantastic experience: A coral-buying experience unlike any other! I was recommended by a bunch of my friends to check out this business. Upon walking in, I was immediately captivated by the amount of tanks, lights, LED screens, and decor, all while being completely surrounded by hundreds of the most beautiful corals I have ever seen! Tyler and his staff are a team of die-hard hobbyists who understand coral like the back of their hands. I’ll admit that I wasn’t expecting to be as astonished as I was, but one visit to Coral Vault, and you’ll immediately know why they are one of the best saltwater-only businesses in the DFW area. I’m happy to feel welcome, confident, and certain every time I come in to purchase corals from them.

Fantastic experience: By far our favorite place to get corals etc. They always have a beautiful, healthy selection and knowledgeable staff!

Fantastic experience: Coral-vault.com has the largest selection of premium exotic corals out of any other place i have found in the DFW area. I absolutely love this shop along with the owner Tyler. Tyler’s awesome staff have been super helpful and knowledgeable thank you Josh and Becky!

Fantastic experience: One of the best coral selections ever. Love these guys!

Fantastic experience: The employees are knowledgeable and friendly and more than happy to share their experience. The coral selection is insane and there's always something new to see!

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend enough, every frag I’ve purchased from here stands out from the rest. Always healthy, colorful, etc. I make the drive past multiple closer stores weekly to visit, worth the hype.

Fantastic experience: Got to meet with the owner. He was very friendly and answered all of my questions. He is very knowledgeable and I appreciate that. He isn’t just trying to sell me stuff I don’t need.

Fantastic experience: Awesome online store and vendor at every trade show in the nation. Love doing busy with coral vault.

Fantastic experience: Beyond excited to see this business store front and booming! Solid coral, great dude, and all around great experience. Been seeing multiple friends buy from here and their tanks look amazing. Lots of knowledge and great selection.

Fantastic experience: Always top notch service! And some Of the best corals I’ve ever seen! Great deals as well. The live fb events are always fun and can get me into trouble with my wallet.

Fantastic experience: Great place, it’s so hard to find a store that feels cool, has lots to look at, multiple people to talk to or ask questions, and have a robust stock list. Want a basic beginner piece? No problem, just cashed out for that centerpiece, they got it. Music playing, big projector screen playing videos, it just has a feeling about it that you don’t find often in this hobby. Tons of great coral! I buy often.

Fantastic experience: I have had nothing but a positive experience with Coral-Vault.com. Kendall and Tyler helped launch me into the hobby, and have been amazing answering questions and providing support. Still have all frags I have purchased, very healthy. Also, very reasonably priced! I do not not live in the DFW area, so they ship everything to me. Everything is shipped, and packed well.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy my visit to Texas and seeing this awesome store. This family business bring 5 stars to Texas. Lots of great employees and great customer service….

Fantastic experience: Great store with an immense selection of high quality corals and goods. Highly recommend!
