Real Reefs

Fantastic experience: I always though this was one of the best shops in the country. Phil is a hard man to top when it comes to saltwater!

Fantastic experience: Have been shopping at real reefs for over 10 years and have been to other retailers none of them have anywhere near Phil’s knowledge or quality of Fish, Corals and invertebrates. I don’t bother going anywhere else now and would highly recommend Real Reefs to anyone wanting to get into or are part of the hobby you won’t be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Been using Real Reefs for the past 4 years, fantastic experience and knowledge from the owner. A great display of corals, fish, inverts, food and other aquarium goodies. If it’s not in stock then just ask and be patient because he will always be happy to help where he can.

Fantastic experience: Just got back from a 3 and a half hour trip to visit this marine shop ,as recommended by a friend ,really helpfull owner and worth the trip I managed to get the 4 pieces of rock I needed ,(2 shelves) and also a mp10qd and my d and d jump guard, and even with the fuel it worked out cheaper than I could get it online,definitely worth a visit and I will be returning after my upgrade tank is up and running ...as for the owner ,thanks for your time,advice and doing me a fantastic deal today ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Real Reefs is the best marine shop around with brilliant customer service. Phil has 20+ years experience and his advice has been paramount to the success of my marine set up. If you're thinking of setting up a marine fish tank go to Real Reefs.

Fantastic experience: Little cozy shop with an abundant choice of fish and corals. Very helpful and knowledgeable owner.

Negative experience: Really disappointed. Went to purchase our first reef set up with my son so needed some guidance on what to buy, which tank etc. Walked in the store and the worker was with the one customer in there. Waited 10 minutes and the worker, not once even bothered to look and acknowledge we were there, It was like we were invisible. Carried on his convo which i appreciate is also a paying customer too but it was a big deal to us as we were going to spend a small fortune in there. Will take my business elsewhere.

Negative experience: Cannot get any service when you go. Be prepared for a loving wait. Walked out twice without being served

Fantastic experience: Not only an extensive range of everything for the Marine enthusiast but in my opinion, more importantly, very helpful and knowledgeable with excellent advice. Well worth my 2 hour round trip.

Positive experience: Popped in on a return journey home. Great place with plenty of stock although prices a little higher than my usual local fish shops.

Positive experience: Always happy to help and provide advice.

Fantastic experience: One of the best marine shops I've found. The quality and selection of livestock is the best I've seen. Prices may be a fraction higher than bog standard shops but I'm happy to pay a few more £'s for happy, healthy, well fed and fully quarantined fish and corals.

Positive experience: Most probably the best marine shop in the Midlands, maybe UK? Small premises but don't let this out you off as Very knowledgeable staff, superb stock in fish and coral which are all fully quarantined in house dedicated qt system. Drygoods are abundant from feeds, additives, lighting and skimmers etc. Only reason I didn't give 5* is because I find the pricing to be considerably higher than other lfs. Also the only shop I have ever been to that sells consistent 0tds ro water.

Fantastic experience: Awesome hosts with expert knowledge in all aspects of reef keeping. The friendliest and best marine supplier I have come across. Fabulous stock and the service is second to none. There are several marine suppliers around me but I only use Real Reefs and happily chose to travel the 4 hour round trip as I trust these folks implicitly. 12 out of 10.

Fantastic experience: I have been going there for a number of years now, have learnt loads from Phil has a great selection of fish and corals and will not buy from anyone else. Phil's knowledge is second to none and we are lucky to have a marine aquatic store like this in Gloucestershire.

Fantastic experience: Just been in to get advice on starting up a Marine Tank and Phil could not have been more helpful. Very friendly team and some great advice. Fantastic stock of fish, inverts and coral, I'll be buying everything from them. Big thumbs up from me

Fantastic experience: This is the best place around Gloucestershire i just wish i knew about it sooner,Now have a customer for life.

Fantastic experience: I'm a regular customer at Real Reefs, and as well as having the largest variety of livestock, corals and dry goods around, and at extremely competitive prices, the customer service here is the best I have ever received in any retail store i have ever shopped in. The owner will take care and time to answer any questions you have and give you expert advice. I see queues of people lining up at the door simply to ask a question or to get his opinion! Cannot recommend Real Reefs enough, 5 Star Service to even the most minute detail!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place with excellent service. You won't want to go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: You couldn't ask for more from a shop! The livestock is second to none, its better than going to T.M.C.. loads of dry goods and really nice staff.
