The Coral Reef brings more than a decade as the premier marine life retailer of El Paso TX & Las Cruces NM, and years of experience with saltwater aquarium maintenance. Our extensive selection of healthy fish and corals reflects our expertise of the coral reef environment and the science of maintaining saltwater aquariums. We bought our first salt water aquarium in 2007 without knowing anything ab
out the hobby, we were promised a beautiful in-wall 125 gallon reef tank by a local so called "expert" to say the least and to stay away from the negative experience lets just say that things were not done as promised and that the only expectation that was accomplished was the huge expense.This experience and in retrospect pride forced us to submerge into what look like an endless pool of contradicting and confusing information regarding water quality, lighting, filtration and livestock. Animals died and the bank account suffered and all we would hear is "there must be something wrong with your water."My wife and I would look at each other and stare in disbelief, always thinking that there had to be a better approach to the hobby an approach that would be helpful and transparent one that would provide reasonable pricing and information that could minimize the loss of livestock once it was introduced in the home environment.With a strong belief that we could produce a different experience we purchased The Coral Reef on February of 2008 and have strived daily in providing the hobbyist with the best shopping experience possible, reasonable pricing and sound advice.

Guess the fish! This is a small colorful freshwater fish that is usually found in northern and eastern Australia. These little fish are vertebrates which means they have bones and like other fish, they breathe oxygen through their gills. ��
Any guesses?

Did you know that you are not supposed to buy an aquarium and the fish on the same day? When you get a new fish tank it should be run for at least 2-3 days before you introduce your new fish. This is to insure the nitrogen cycle in the tank is working properly before you introduce your new fish.

Ever wonder how the price of a fish can vary so much between stores? Even though a fish starts out on its journey to the LFS pretty much the same way a lot of factors can have a negative influence in its health this does not imply that a more expensive specimen is healthier than a lesser one but when bought from the right wholesaler it could make a big big difference , at The Coral Reef we only use top quality wholesalers , Quality Marine is our vendor of choice for those not familiar with Quality Marine allow me to share the following Information and reason as to why they are our vendor of choice..... Celebrating over 35 years in business, Quality Marine continues to provide the Aquarium industry with the highest quality and widest selection of marine fish and invertebrates. As our business grows, we still focus on the keys to our success, Quality, Variety, and Service, second to none. With arguably the most state of the art marine fish holding facility in North America, Quality Marine leads the industry in animal holding and filtration capacity, and system stability. Water in our centralized holding systems is treated by 12 kilowatts of quartz-shielded ultraviolet sterilizers, large protein skimmers with very high output ozonizers and specially designed, highly efficient mechanical and biological filtration equipment. Nearly all of the aquaria in our 40,000 square foot facility are individually equipped with independent fill and drain systems allowing thousands of individual fish to have their own sterilized water supply, minimizing the potential for the spread of parasites and other water-borne pathogens. Quality Marine works tirelessly to support responsible operators that collect in a sustainable manner and protect the reef habitat. We encourage all industry professionals to do the same. As one of only a few MAC certified importers, we continue to exhibit our commitment to helping make this industry a better one, to help protect our resources for not only th
