El Arrecife de Nemo

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place!!! Best fish in town!!

Experiencia fantástica: The best place for corals and fish i myself Drive 2 hours to get my aquarium stuff from them...highly recommend....

Experiencia fantástica: I think nemos, wreath, it's an awesome. Fish aquarium to purchase exotic fish! It's a large store with a modern field and amazing selection, a fish corals. It's really neat and lards, and I love the way they have. The tanks corresponding to the different screens on the wall that show you the price of the fish. I feel this gives you the independent way of browsing the store and seeing the different prices of the fish you're interested in purchasing. This is an awesome touch, that's that sets nemos, reef. Well above and beyond the other stores that i've purchased many fish from. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Experiencia fantástica: What a cool place! So many fish to see and choose from, along with any accessory you could want. And the employees are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Nemo’s is absolutely hands down the best place to get saltwater fish! We drive down from Burlington if that tells you anything because you can’t beat the selection or the prices. The staff is also always so helpful and quick to guide you in the right direction.

Experiencia fantástica: The Price and employees helpful is Great..100% Recommended

Experiencia fantástica: We love these guys! Incredible personalized service! Carson helped us choose a tank and all the supplies! They install and service tanks too. Ordering the fish you want is an option and they are very very accommodating. We are so very glad we went to Nemo's Reef for all our aquatic hobby needs!

Experiencia fantástica: My 1st here an Wow, Customer service is so geniune an nice.....Help me with my complete order....Suggest u find this place for Great Service

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best aquarium store I have ever been. I've been in the hobby for years, and no other place ever beat that. Fish selection, coral selection additives, and all... everything under 1 roof. Great place for support. Lives stock, look healthy, and all. Great place . Thanks, Nemo's reef, for supporting the hobby.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Nemo’s Reef are extremely knowledgeable and kind. They want what’s best for the fish and coral, and want the hobbyist to be successful in their aquarium journey! I’m so grateful for the staff at Nemo’s Reef and for their beautiful selections! This store has given me the confidence to have a freshwater tank, 15 gallon saltwater, and soon to be a 25 gallon saltwater. Today my paired clownfish were acting odd, so i called Nemo’s Reef for their expertise. The staff member talked me off a ledge and gave me beneficial information to help them. I love this store and the people in there!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome staff and very knowledgeable about everything. Can’t recommend them enough. Lots of fresh and salt water species and they can usually order anything you need if by chance they don’t have it in stock.

Experiencia fantástica: I came in for some assassin snails and also got some super cute and colorful shrimp. These guys have so many beautiful, healthy creatures for both fresh and saltwater tanks. They even have axoltls! I love this shop. The staff is great and very knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection and very knowledgeable staff

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Nemo’s is super helpful. They really take the time to get to know you, your tanks, and what might be the best additions to your tanks.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome staff and super clean environment! Great selection of coral. Highly recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: Love yhe knowledge, the kindness and the price! Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to get fish very nice and knowledgeable people

Experiencia fantástica: Came to Nemo’s with an idea of a plan for my first saltwater tank and Steven was beyond helpful with explaining everything I needed to know! He (and the whole staff) was extremely kind and knowledgeable. Definitely my new spot for everything fish related!

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic verity and healthy fish. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: The very best place to get fresh or salt water fish. Wonderful people.

Experiencia fantástica: Nemo’s Reef is second to none in terms of customer service, expertise, and knowledge. I was most impressed with how they talked me out of a few things I was interested in based off of what I told them of my reef sizes and current inhabitants. They suggested others more suitable I had not even thought of, but glad I went with their advice. Charlie became my personal liaison (although I think every employee helped me at some point). I took the day off to visit here for a two hour drive, and it was well worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: The best service. All your questions respectfully answered. Chris is patient with people new to aquarium and gives great advice

Experiencia fantástica: This is a fantastic overall aquarium store. By far one of the best I’ve seen in many years. The assortment of fish available was very impressive. Well worth the drive and highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service. Knowledgeable staff. Great Deals on Used Tanks

Experiencia fantástica: Great store with really cool fish, would definitely shop here again

Experiencia fantástica: Cleanest store in Charlotte, very knowledgeable employees. Beautiful displays and coral selection, won’t be going anywhere else!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with Nemo’s Scott and Max helped me tons with all the questions I had and helped me get the best options for my rank ! They were both very professional and helpful and kind people! Definitely recommend going to the store!

Experiencia negativa: The experience my father and I experienced yesterday was really unfortunate and could have been handled a lot differently. The young owner presumingly in the black shirt was very disrespectful and rude, refusing to sell us any further fish (more or less banning us from his store) if he gave us this refund because we opted to return a fish that died that was in the 2 day window of the guarantee. He had no issue telling this to our face in front of his employees. A different fish that died that we returned was not the same fish and we were not provided the same results that were given to us before. As we explained to the original person helping, they are 2 separate beings/cases and not a "double warranty" issue as there is no such thing when they aren't the same fish. We would not have traveled 1.5 hours one way to return a fish that died if we were going to be banned from the store by exercising our right as a customer. A customer shouldn't have to concern themselves if they are going to be banned from buying fish at Nemo's Reef because they returned a dead fish. The lack of understanding and appreciation of our business was highly evident. We have bought more fish then we ever returned and to be treated this way as if we did something wrong, was how we were thanked for our business of spending close to $1,000 cumulatively over the last few weeks. I've never had a owner or a manager of a business made me and my family feel like we were unworthy of buying anything in his store when we had fully attended to buy more fish and spend more money, not only within this same store trip but in the following week. As anyone knows who has salt water aquariums in their homes or businesses, this is not a inexpensive hobby. The person in charge should treat customers with more empathy and respect, instead of acting like he's upset he had to speak with us at all.

Experiencia negativa: one had TWO experiences in 2 days that really floored us, We had a fish a BLUE HIPPO that we got and it had died within the two day period so we came back with a water sample and the fish, They tested the water and said the nitrate was SLIGHTLY high and that was it, They issued the credit and I spent another $96 less the credit for a powder blue tang and a sailfin tang, On the second today I found the sailfin had died, THIS WAS IN THE SAME EXACT tank as the hippo which that water was tested. so I brought it with another water sample but this time was TOTALLY different. At first they said that this was NOT covered under the warranty since we had already used the warranty SO their LOGIC was if you buy a tv and it breaks and they replace it with another tv and it breaks you are SOL. Then they said my salt level was a little high, HIGHER what they keep theirs at and mine was 102.8 I then asked why is the same exact tank too high when 2 days ago it was fine, The excuse was he probably did not test the salt level, Which that adds to my argument that if it was a little too high 2 days ago and He TOLD ME, then I would went home and adjusted the level but they did not. the one that was in charged did not want to hear it, Cause the argument from him was were are killing the TWO tangs that we got but he FAILED to look at my purchase list as I also have a powder blue tang from him IN THAT SAME TANK and is still alive. Then he said in an AGREE VOICE give him the refund but do not sell him anymore fish? SO he is guaranteeing ALL HIS FISH are in PERFECT HEALTH, so if that is the case WHY A WARRANTY? the DAY we before we purchased 3 more fish but NOTICE several fish that LOOKED DEAD IN THE TANKS and also several very stressed, I sent a message too him and it was no they were fine and no dead fish at all in any of the tanks, l was JUST TRYING TO HELP. That response was I been doing this for 20 yrs. Great so this is UNREEL, 20 yrs no dead fish, no disease fish and no problems at all, I DROVE 70 miles to return the fish with the water, IF I was told that the level was too high I would have lowered it and the fish MIGHT still be alive. SO REMEMBER THIS just like car insurance YOU GET IT aka a WARRANTY but you are NOT expected to use it and oh my god if TWO Fish die at what YOU BELIEVE is no fault of YOURS, YOU are made to feel like a criminal and be told you can NEVER buy a fish again from them, Really is funny though I was going to spend another $200 today and even more next week on the next shipment. I do NOT trust the health of the fish nor do I like a person to speak that way to me, I am a senior citizen, a veteran and disabled, NO REASON to speak to me like he did, and the last thing he said in a Total SA way I AM HAPPILY REFUNDING YOUR MONEY. What is HAPPILY my good little boy is you saved me a lot of money and LONG DRIVES to get to your place, you are just NOT WORTH IT.

Experiencia fantástica: Best people to work with. Max was very knowledgeable and helped me pick out a new salt water tank. I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Max was very helpful with the 1st purchase pf fish for out daycare

Experiencia fantástica: Last living breed of local owned fish and supplies store.Cannot get this at Petco, or Petsmart. Great staff and fish to boot. If you want a special they will try and get it. A+

Experiencia fantástica: Great store! Workers are always eager to help and answer questions.

Experiencia fantástica: Love the place and set up, can't wait to go back once my tanks are ready. Prices are a bit more than other bigger companies but they seem much better cared for, so I think it's worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: it's start a great experience having a salt water tank THANKS TO JOSH ! helping me on every step from 0 to a big family of nemos ! exelent service and customer attendance. whit all the suplyes u need totally recommended!!

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible aquarium shop! Everything is very clean, organized, and visually appealing. Carson was super attentive and helpful with us finding the right fish, anemones, corals, etc for our tank! We will definitely be frequent customers.

Experiencia fantástica: The best place for healthy fish. Very clean tanks..

Experiencia fantástica: I rarely take the time to leave a review, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Nemo's Reef. Several months ago, in June or July of 2024, I entered Nemo's Reef with the intention of purchasing a Jack Dempsey cichlid. Interestingly, this was my first visit to a saltwater fish store. During my initial encounter, I engaged with Chris Luc regarding the transaction, which piqued my interest of saltwater aquariums. Approximately a week later, I returned to the store and acquired my first 5-gallon saltwater tank along with a pair of small clownfish. After several months of owning that tank, I made the decision to invest in a larger setup. I collaborated with Chris and Kevin and ultimately opted for a RedSea 200 G2 Max. Upon the arrival of my order, Kevin and Noah came out for the installation. They provided a thorough walkthrough of the tank's functionality, parameters, and a variety of related topics that I had previously not understood. Since that initial interaction, I have had the pleasure of working with Carson, Charlie, and several other knowledgeable staff members within the store. At no point did I feel pressured to make any purchases (well, there was that one time with Noah, just kidding!). Instead, the staff demonstrated extensive knowledge and genuine passion for the hobby, as well as sincere care for their customers. Since the initial setup they have come back to install a RO/DI system and just like the first time everything was perfect. In the coming months, I plan to construct an even larger tank, and I would not hesitate to seek guidance from any of the staff members at the store. It is refreshing to see a business model where customers are prioritized, and Nemo's Reef stands out as an exemplary case; they are more like extended friends, than that of a traditional retail experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place with big selection and friendly, knowledgeable employees!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to this place for help with setting a new tank for my aquatic turtle. They were extremely helpful. They also seemed very much knowledgeable with all the questions I had. I would definitely recommend them for any aquatic purposes.

Experiencia fantástica: Great store, great service, and great fish. Best store in North Carolina and the Charlotte area.

Experiencia fantástica: Charlie was a great help for our first time visit. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Got a great deal on 2 tanks with 1 stand and a bunch of goodies! Chris and Charlie were super helpful, kind, and patient. The owner has a great team!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great coral and fish stock. Would shop here again.

Experiencia negativa: Don’t do business with Nemo’s reef. They sell sick fish, they lie to you, they are rude, and they don’t care about anything but your money. We lost hundreds of dollars worth of fish and corals because of this store. To your reply. Yes, you have sold us fish. It’s the only place we purchased from. When those fish died from ich that they had when we brought them home, the employees working at that time did not take it on themselves to help. There is so much turnover in the store, there is no consistency, very unorganized, and again, you only care about the money in your pockets, and not keeping loyal customers. We have been patient and understanding, very loyal customers, until we were told today we lied about what we’ve been told for the past 4 weeks. Again, do not do business with this reef store.

Experiencia fantástica: Best saltwater store in Charlotte area, cool store, nice and healthy fish and corals.

Experiencia positiva: Awesome shop for mostly saltwater systems however also vary helpful with freshwater questions

Experiencia fantástica: Best and cheapest Reef and fish shop and Charlotte and will help with new reefers and give them cheap prices they helped me start my reef and we have bought most of their stuff since it is so good and now we have 2 healthy clownfish and really good and healthy corals would recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Bought my fish here and yeah

Experiencia negativa: unfortunately I cannot go any lower. worst sushi in all of Charlotte- I guess you get what you pay for. Also not sure why anyone would want to eat a live salamander

Experiencia negativa: My wife came in and purchased 5 fish (3 Raphael striped catfish and 2 Bosemani rainbow fish). While in the store, she was told the rainbow fish were "prone to get ich". Well, she wasn't sure what ich was at the time but looking back she remembered seeing the obvious white spots on them in the store. When she got home and put them in the tank she looked up ich and it was blatantly obvious that they had ich in the store. As a store owner of a fish place you'd think they would know that the fish they sold had this disease because its easy to spot once you know what to look for. It appears they just wanted to sell the fish and not care about the ich. Well fast forward a week and literally EVERY fish she purchased from this store is dead and had ich. They may try to say that we don't know how to maintain an aquarium but we've had this aquarium set up for quite a while with ZERO mortality of other fish. The fish purchased from Petsmart are still doing well but the fish purchased from Nemos are all dead... strange coincidence it would appear dont you think? This place seems to be shady and just want your money not caring about the health of the actual fish they sell or the health of other fish in your aquarium. Now a few others have contracted this same disease and we are treating the tank. Thanks a lot Nemos, hope you lose some business or become more ethical in your sales.

Experiencia fantástica: Best aquarium store i’ve ever been to, great staff and selection. Long time customer and enthusiast of the hobby. Their prices on dry goods and livestock blow any of the “competition” out of the water. Can’t rate these guys highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: By FAR one of the best places ever for all your aquarium needs. After having some difficulties with the health of my fish, the folks at Nemo’s Reef went above and beyond to diagnose the issue and work to remedy. They truly value the customer and I will recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you Nemo’s Reef!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been visiting this place for more than 3 years and they have always given me excellent service, guarantee and price both in fish and items.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of fish and coral. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Max is awesome

Experiencia fantástica: Was in the area today, stopped in and saw a nice clean store stocked with all types of options. Talked to some friendly staff, walked out with a new tank mates. Great experience. Will be back when time for more fish. Update : Back again! place always impresses with selection and service. Leaving with new additions to the tank.

Experiencia fantástica: I just want to give a shout-out to Darren who encouraged me to remove the lid on my Bio-Cube tank & bring it in so they could take a look at it when the light went out. All who assisted me there were very helpful and saved me $200.00 when they advised me to try and replace the power adaptor first from Amazon which only cost $10.00!!!’

Experiencia fantástica: Our favorite fish store! My husband has a saltwater tank and I have a freshwater tank. We both purchase our fish from here. The staff is super knowledgeable about all the fish and coral. This is our go to spot for expanding our fish family.

Experiencia fantástica: Every time I come to Nemo’s the tanks are always so clean. Coral is always well taken care and the knowledge of the staff is excellent! I recommend any one who has a salt or freshwater tank to check this place out! This place never disappoints!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing. Associates are always so pleasant. I bought 5 gallon ready tank with two clowns and we are so happy with our experience. Check this place out.

Experiencia fantástica: Great fish store for fresh and Marine fish. Great prices and selection!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent store. Extremely helpful and always clean. Chris and staff are awesome.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been using Nemo’s personally and sending people to Nemo’s for years! I have bought multiple tanks from them and every time I need help or advise they are always willing to take the time to listen to me and explain why certain things are happening and how to prevent them again without selling me things or making feel like I need to make purchases. All the staff is very knowledgeable and care about the reefers coming to the store. Post update- I was in the store on 7.30.2024 when the lady below visited Mrs. Adams who left a negative post and wanted others to see the other side of the story (look at other reviews from this poster). I will say this lady was one of the most rudest people I’ve seen to the way she talked down to the staff and tried to get things for free and discounts (shame on you). Max a seasoned employee there tried to answer her questions and she was more focused on trying to get a discounted or free dosing machine then berated other employees so bad that the whole store was looking at her (very inappropriate) and unwarranted. I was waiting in line behind her so I could get my water tested for Magnesium with a digital reader as I was getting uneven results at home. She complained as well about having to pay taxes on the item she bought like you do for anything purchased at any other store or online. To recap this store is in a great location in Indian Trail with amazing employees and a massive selection of beautiful fish and HUGE selection of corals and tanks (new and used) and supplies to start reefing if your new or even to maintain your reef. Thank you Nemo team for your commitment to the reefing community.

Experiencia fantástica: Max was extremely friendly and helpful. He was easy to work with. The store was very well equipped with saltwater fish and coral which was really exciting to see all of the colors and different exotic fish. This was a two hour drive to visit and definitely worth the trip. I will certainly return.

Experiencia fantástica: Customer service was outstanding (very knowledgeable). Tanks were stocked & clean. Greatly satisfied with our purchases!

Experiencia fantástica: The employees are so informative and helpful and the place is so fun to visit with small kids. I can't wait to get our fish tank set up and buy from here. All of the tanks were super clean and the fish and other water life inhabitants looked happy.

Experiencia fantástica: Nemo’s Reef in Indian Trail, NC did not disappoint . We drove for 2 hours to check them out after hearing such great reviews for them. Charlie was absolutely amazing. His knowledge and patients with us was endearing. I highly recommend Nemo’s Reef for all your salt water aquarium needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Five Stars - HIGHLY recommend. The entire staff was friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable. We’re customers for life at what is hands down one of Charlottes best.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve come in three times now, the employees (especially Max) are always super helpful, and kind. Would always recommend to anyone in the South Charlotte area.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place! Such a good place for fish and corals! This is the best place to get aquatics on the east side of Charlotte. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone there helped guide us through what is a simple process of our first steps in getting set up with a saltwater tank. Made it a breeze to spend a few hundred bucks confidently! Will be coming back for frags in a few months!

Experiencia fantástica: I had been in there in a long time, probably over 15 years, some of the most amazing saltwater setups I've ever seen! If you want live rock this is a place to go, really cool looking clams too

Experiencia positiva: This our first time visiting Nemo’s reef. They had a ton of staff available to help and a good selection of fish, tanks are all in really good condition!

Experiencia fantástica: So I’m a beginner with my aquarium freshwater. They’ve been nothing but helpful for me there. They help me get my tank up and running. People there were great.! I highly recommend them. Prices are fair people or fantastic.

Experiencia fantástica: best aquarium store ive been to. great selection and helpful staff members. we have been trying to set up a saltwater reef tank and max was super kind while assisting us

Experiencia fantástica: Great service and amazing prices on fish! Will definitely be back. Selection was great and coral selection best in the carolinas!

Experiencia fantástica: Best in Charlotte area, never a bad experience here, they always have what I need from salt or fresh water, aquatic plants and fish also chemicals, accessories for the aquariums, food and all the live/healthy fish as well as corals and everything to keep them alive and flourishing. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve been working with these guys for years, amazing family and team members, you can get all your aquatic needs here. Call them up! They have everything!

Experiencia fantástica: Noah l, Randy, Stephen and friends have been incredibly helpful and dropping knowledge left and right. I have gained so much knowledge from these guys and appreciate their patience greatly! They will not steer you the wrong way. Best LFS so far.
