Discount Aquarium Fish and Reef in Tempe
Discount Aquarium Fish and Reef is a Tempe, Arizona aquarium shop at 2155 E University Dr, Suite 106, catering to freshwater and reef keepers across the East Valley. In the desert climate, a well-run fish room offers a cool and absorbing hobby, and a store centered on livestock and coral gives Tempe hobbyists a place to source both without leaving town. That local access matters in a metro where summer heat keeps many pastimes indoors.
As the name suggests, the shop leans toward value on fish, coral, and the equipment that supports them. Visitors can generally expect tanks and stands, filtration and lighting, salt mixes, test kits, and a changing stock of freshwater fish and reef inhabitants. Being close to Arizona State University, it draws students and longtime residents alike who want an accessible local fish store rather than a mail-order box.
What do the reviews suggest?
The store holds a 4.4-star rating from more than 714 reviews, a solid track record built on a large number of visits. That depth of feedback points to a shop that has served the Tempe aquarium community for a good while and keeps drawing new hobbyists through the door.
Its University Drive address places it in a busy part of Tempe with easy access from Mesa, Scottsdale, and the wider Phoenix metro. Whether the goal is starting a first tank, adding color to a reef, or simply picking up salt and supplies, the location makes it a straightforward stop for East Valley aquarists.
