Keepin it Reef remains one of my favorite LFS even though they are all the way on the other side of the metro. What I love about this store is the owners and the personalized care. Their store is located at 5500 S. Simms St. Suite O, Littleton, CO 80127. They have expanded to include freshwater and saltwater. One of the things LFS owners realize after only a short time is the two aspects of aquarium keeping support each other. Freshwater retail provides the profits and Saltwater tank installation and maintenance pays the bills. Without both it really is difficult to make a go in this competitive world of wet pets.
They are open Thursday thru Monday and love to serve their customers. If you need anything in particular, just ask. They have more products available now to include a neat selection of reef rock arches, local live phytoplankton and copepods. Their selection of freshwater fish is expanding to include cichlids and nano fish of varying types. I found some very kewl glassfish from India for instance. I’d not seen these fish anywhere else and you know I get around. Over time they plan on having more plants and aquascape materials for the hobbyist.
The selection of Saltwater fish, inverts, and coral remain excellent. While they are not going to compete with some of the other Saltwater specialty stores on coral, they have always had a good variety of inverts and fish. The summer has been hard on the store as their help has been on vacation, so things were not looking their best. I am sure as the aquarium hobby season gets going in September this LFS will have it going on.
