How TSA Started
More than a decade ago, we kept seeing the same problems repeat themselves. Hobbyists would order corals that looked incredible online, only to receive pieces that arrived stressed, covered in pests, or nothing like the photos. Shipments would show up DOA and there was very little confidence in how corals were sourced or grown.
We wanted to change that. So we started Top Shelf Aquatics, built a coral farm, and focused on doing things the right way even when it meant taking the longer path. That meant growing corals in house, investing in proper systems and husbandry, and treating reefers more like partners than customers.
Today, TSA runs 30,000–40,000 gallons of dedicated aquaculture systems cared for daily by an experienced team of reefers and marine biologists. Instead of relying heavily on wild collection, we grow corals in-house, raising them long-term so hobbyists can choose tank-grown coral with confidence.
Integrated Shopping For Reefers
We wanted shopping for your reef to feel simple and connected. At TSA, you can choose coral, fish, and equipment in one place, backed by the same systems we trust in our own farm.
- WYSIWYG coral direct from our aquaculture systems
- Dry goods and equipment selected by active reefers
- Livestock and supplies that work together in real setups
What Makes Top Shelf Aquatics Different
Our approach is built around a few simple principles. Grow coral the right way, photograph what we actually sell, keep frags healthy and pest free, and be honest about lineage and sourcing. These are the pillars that shape how we run the farm every day.
Aquacultured Sustainability
TSA utilizes 30,000–40,000 gallons of dedicated water volume to grow corals long term, reduce reliance on wild collection, and offer traceable, tank grown colonies.
Collector Verification
Our long term grow out and documented lineage have made TSA a frequently cited source for coral verification across the reefing community.
Healthy, Pest Free Corals From Farm To Tank
We know how frustrating it is to introduce pests or unhealthy frags into a reef that you have spent years building. That is why our systems are designed around coral health, stability, and cleanliness. Corals go through long term grow out and observation before they are ever offered for sale.
From there, each piece is handled with care, photographed individually, and packed to ship with a focus on survival and stress reduction. Our arrive alive guarantee and support team are here to help if anything goes wrong.
