Sure Reef Design

I have worked with TJ at Sure Reef Design for a little over a year and he has been a godsend. I have had a salt water tank for a few years, but to be honest, I did not have the expertise nor the time to properly take care of my tank. I finally admitted I wanted the tank, but not the responsibility of one. I am so grateful that Lee’s Feed referred me to TJ at Sure Reef Design. Luckily most of the equipment that I had previously purchased was appropriate, I needed to change up a couple of things. He thoroughly explained what he would recommend, why and the cost involved. He did not oversell, he was not trying to gouge me. I was very clear with TJ, I want ‘his tank’ in my house, in other words, he take care of the tank, I enjoy the tank. I would feed and fill with water that he provided me. I have given TJ carte blanche with the tank. Told him I want him to be Santa Claus and bring me corals and fish that were appropriate for my tank each visit. I look forward to the visits like kids do for Christmas. After a few months of slowly building my tank was awesome. Little things like painting the back of the tank, restacking the rock made a huge improvement of the aesthetics as well as the enjoyment I received from the tank.
TJ has been very thorough and patient with me. If I ask for something, he will either get it for me or explain if he doesn’t recommend it, why (i.e. it will eat your coral, will eat your other fish, will require more time to maintain, etc). He will recommend something that will work instead. I have been so happy that he has just upgraded by 40 gallon tank to a 90 gallon tank. I am so excited to see what ‘Santa’ continues to bring me each trip. Since I have had TJ take over my tank, it has become the stress reliever in my office that I was looking for. Having an annual maintenance agreement and an expert to know what is appropriate in the tank has saved me headaches and money over the last year. I cannot say enough about the care and professionalism that TJ has. He truly cares about the animals and his clients.
