Personalized Assistance

We're not just a retail store—we're a resource for all your aquarium needs. If your current tank is giving you trouble, schedule a one-hour appointment with one of our aquarium experts. This evaluation includes water testing for either an established or a new/cycling tank, husbandry practices, equipment review, and livestock compatibility. We'll even throw in a free gift card for use at the shop.

If you'd rather not worry about the details, we encourage you to take advantage of our professional services to ensure your tank fits your unique needs and preferences. We can work with you to design and install a freshwater or saltwater aquarium of any size. For hassle-free upkeep, we offer weekly and bi-weekly service plans for both residential and commercial customers.
