Basking area

I've used this service since 2015. The owner, Michael, has been responsive, polite, honest and reliable. Kyle, in addition to being a wonderful person, is all of the above and more. He does great work keeping the pond clean, and he seems genuinely invested in keeping my fish healthy. He suggests informed solutions to problems. If there's an emergency he will come over at the earliest possible moment that he can. He also cleans the indoor turtle aquarium, and he's had great tips for how to make the lighting, heating, filter and basking areas work better. We've discussed how much room the turtle needs, how to arrange the tank to make him more comfortable, when to get a larger one, etc. If I need new equipment or supplies he will help me get it. I am truly satisfied with their service, and I hope to continue working with them for many years.

I have been working with Michael for 2 years now, such a nice guy, great communication through texting and calls. Really knows his stuff on pond maintenance, my ponds look clean and clear year round - so I'm very happy. He converted me from someone who used to clean out my ponds every year to really just maintaining them every few weeks to not disturb the natural biology. I like this take on pond maintenance and it isn't a huge expense all at once anymore. 10/10 recommend!

See all

In the pictures you can see the towels are soaked and this was after we had already went through a pile worth of towels trying to clean my floors. Wendell, Mix up...I am absolutely disappointed in today's service I hope Celeste, Shivani, & the other mgr who wasn't even Zach who you promised to show up each got to keep the 20's I gave them. Because yes I still paid, a lot of this could've been avoided by better communication and you sending experienced employees in cleaning. I expected you this morning and with less than a hours notice you tell me you are sending two of your employees, when I hired & called you and expected you. Never was there any mention of you sending someone else in our prior conversations. You sent me two inexperienced young ladies who didn't even have the supplies they needed, no bleach, not enough towels, & clearly not even large towels in case of an emergency like today. This service was supposed to make my life easier, so my sick husband didn't have to muster the strength to clean the tank. But all this did was leave my home a Nightmare of a mess and we have a wedding to go to so now I need to find time to clean all of my dinning room, entrance and living room floors, as well as the entrance rugs and wash all these disgusting fish water towels that are left in piles. The fact that you did not even apologize on the phone or haven't even called to check back in is completely baffling to us. The text message you just sent in my opinion clearly shows you have no regard for your customers or their experience. At the very least you should've offered to comp this service or a future service i definitely wouldn't have paid had I known this would be your non chalant response. I will just share my response and photos on yelp. I paid because at the end of the day it wasn't these poor girls fault that they weren't prepared or trained properly or sent with enough help or proper supplies. I even asked them if he had showed them the pictures or videos I had sent him of my tank prior to them agreeing to come at which they stated no. So save your money and go with someone more reliable in the South Bay because I'm all about small businesses but this one has no respect for your property or time!

Is there a way to leave 100 STARS rather than only 5? Aquatech Aquarium Service deserves it!…read more HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! My beloved fish tank was probably suffering when I realized my Fluval power filter wasn't working properly, and after trying what I usually try when it gets glitchy, I freaked and realized I was going to have to first FIND, and then hire a professional to help me. I reached out here on Yelp to the top-rated Aquatech and spoke to an angel sent from heaven! Chiao called me immediately and kindly and patiently walked me thru troubleshooting steps and told me exactly what to do when the Fluval power filter wouldn't work. This took probably 15 minutes of her time and she did it gratis!! Then when I started shopping for the power filter online, I found that the power filter that I have is no longer available and asked Chiao for more help. She answered my questions about that as well! I am not only SO RELIEVED that my fish will make it until a new power filter arrives via Doordash today, but am THRILLED to have Aquatech in my contacts for future emergencies, etc., going forward. Today turned into a GREAT day because of Chiao. THANK YOU!!!

I love our community and this place provided him with a great and knowledgeable technician who was lovely and he immediately signed up for their twice monthly service. The power of yelp reviews is astonishing, and I am so happy to be able to use it not only as a Yelp elite reviewer, but as somebody looking for suggestions for services that I am not well versed in. So, thank you to all of you people who help others by opining and sharing! I appreciate all of your insights and recommendations! My friend had a fantastic experience! And his fish were happy too!

I had previously come here a few times when the service was lacking, tanks weren't maintained and…read moretoo many fish were falling ill. THAT WAS IN THE PAST. There's been major changes recently! Tanks are stunning (clean, sparkly, lively) with new and interesting fish. Their live plant stock has grown and improved as well with some pretty healthy choices. The guys who work here are friendly and knowledgeable. The owner, Chris, is usually there keeping things running smoothly and I learned in our lengthy conversation that the reason for the shop declining back then was due to a family member passing and hardship stemming from that. I am SO impressed at how he pulled through and was dedicated to bringing his business back to life. So the lesson is YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS GOING THROUGH. I was quick to judge but now I know that also, running an aquarium shop has so many components/vendors you're dealing with and it's not always going to be perfect. So have some grace. These guys care about the livestock and customers. They'll do their best to be fair and remedy a situation. I've bought some great fish and they have been THRIVING. They even let me adopt a little one eyed betta that no one wanted but now she's living her best life. If I had one gripe it would be not to keep male bettas in tiny little cups, that's just cruel... But as long as they're changing water out everyday it's not enough to pull a star.

We had never used a professional pet sitter before, as our cat Harper is usually cared for by my…read morein-laws when we're away, so we were naturally a little nervous trying something new. From the very beginning, the entire process was easy, professional, and reassuring. Barbie, the owner, was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions. We asked for her honest opinion about whether 15-minute or 30-minute visits would be more appropriate for Harper, and we really appreciated that she gave us thoughtful, unbiased advice based on his needs rather than simply recommending the longer visit. That honesty gave us a great deal of confidence that Harper's well-being was always the priority. Our sitter, Lindsay, was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and clearly took the time to get to know Harper rather than simply stopping by to complete a checklist. The updates after each visit were one of our favorite parts of the service. We received thoughtful notes and videos by text after every visit. We especially appreciated that everything came through text rather than requiring a separate app. The communication was outstanding and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We genuinely looked forward to Lindsay's notes and videos after each visit. Her thoughtful updates let us follow Harper's progress throughout our trip, and it was wonderful to see him become more and more comfortable with her. When she told us he had even let her pick him up, we knew just how much trust he had developed. When we arrived home, Harper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Lindsay even left us a thoughtful handwritten note and drawing, which was such a sweet personal touch. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience with a professional pet sitter. We will absolutely use this service again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate in-home pet care.
