When we started Salty Blues in 2018, we wanted to create a place where die hard reef keepers could find everything they want and need.
That meant cutting some things out of the typical fish store equation: bad advice and customer service, bland and small coral selection, and fish riddled with disease.
Salty Blues strives to provide saltwater hobbyists of Iowa and beyond with the best reefing experience possible.
Chloe handles and observes every fish that comes in and out. She has spent years researching and honing the best methods to prevent fish disease at the retail and hobbyist levels. She is currently working to offer Salty Blues Certified Quarantined Fish in the coming year.
Ben dips and inspects each coral before they enter our sale tanks. He carefully frags corals almost every day. He is excited to have a separate coral quarantine system for new arrivals at the Salty Blues Coral Farm.
