About Us
A Passion for Aquariums. A Love for Aquatic Life.
The story of Tropic N Reef Aquariums began over 30 years ago with a simple gift from a father to his son — a small aquarium to celebrate his high school graduation. What started as a thoughtful gift soon blossomed into a lifelong passion for the fascinating world of aquatic life.
Over the years, that passion has grown into a desire to help others experience the beauty and tranquillity of having their own little piece of the underwater world at home or in the workplace.

At Tropic N Reef Aquariums, we believe that keeping an aquarium is about more than just fish, plants and corals. It's about discovering the wonders of nature, learning something new every day, and creating a living environment that brings joy, relaxation and a deeper appreciation for aquatic life.
Our passion goes hand in hand with our commitment to education, responsible fishkeeping and sustainability. We love sharing our knowledge and helping fellow hobbyists make informed decisions, care for their aquatic inhabitants responsibly, and enjoy this wonderful hobby for years to come. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the excitement on a customer's face when their aquarium comes to life — and knowing we've played a part in that journey.
From Passion to Your Aquarium Destination
What began as an aquarium setup and maintenance business has grown into a Canadian online aquarium retailer, with our own retail store in Oakville, Ontario. Today, Tropic N Reef Aquariums proudly serves hobbyists across Canada, offering products, livestock and expertise for a wide range of aquatic interests.
Whether you're setting up your very first freshwater aquarium, creating a beautiful planted aquascape, exploring the vibrant world of saltwater fish, or building a thriving coral reef, we're here to help you along the way.
We continually expand our selection of quality aquarium products from trusted industry brands, striving to offer competitive prices without compromising on service or the guidance you deserve. We understand that every aquarium and every hobbyist is different, which is why we believe in providing honest advice and helping you find the right solutions for your individual needs.
Our philosophy is simple: customer service comes first, and the right products follow. We want you to feel confident in your purchases, supported in your decisions, and welcomed as part of our community.
