We had no way of contacting our children, who were in transit in Europe. We used the internet to find a listing of companies who could help us. We called AquaticStart LLC, and we are so glad we did. Within 5 minutes, Joe Montalvo, the owner, was on his way and arrived at the house 30 minutes later. He quickly drained most of the water from the tank, helped us get a 46 gallon fish tank as a stop gap measure, then moved the fish. Somehow he manged to save all the fish. He did a remarkable job of minimizing the damage to the house while saving the fish. We are very grateful to Joe for his help. We highly recommend his service to all. Hal & Virginia Wynnewood PA

BEST SERVICE and great prices! I am the owner of Ocean City Seafood here in the DMV Silver Spring…read moreMd. (small business/Veteran) I have to say....our lobster tank "tanked" on us, and low and behold, Crystal Clear came to our rescue. I can't say enough GREAT things about this company and its staff. The president of the company even got involved to make sure we were good to go. These days, everything is so expensive, but Crystal Clear went above and beyond to make sure that we were up and running in just a few days even though they are in PA. Just for the record, we are a small business and when it came time to purchase the Stark SLS-80 Bullet lobster tank, I could not believe that the president of the company made a way for us to pay within our means to make a fair and honest deal. This company will make darn sure you are happy with your purchase and beyond. Paper work was simple and no fine print crap! They make sure you understand every aspect of the deal before your purchase. As an owner of a famous seafood market (Look up Eve the Calico lobster) I could not be with out a dependable tank and all parts of high quality. Thank you Rob (President of the company) for your time and highest possible customer service. Like I said....This company is not about your money...they are about long term service and solid relationships with customers.

To condense my pet's traumatic experience - The business was apparently experiencing a staff shortage, knowingly attempted to trim both of my dog's nails in an unsafe manner, and did not inform me of any injury. After driving the 2 miles back to my home, my elderly dog was bleeding profusely and the source of the blood was challenging to find. An emergency vet visit revealed his front canine tooth was shattered and there was a large laceration on his tongue. Per my vet, this injury occurs with impact. Only after 3 conversations did the groomer reveal she had both my dogs on an elevated table alone at once and my senior dog "may have" hit his face or head because the groomer was 'worked up'. I could explain in depth the attitude of the groomer, the lack of professionalism from the business, and the troubling way this was mismanaged but the details aren't necessary. I hesitate to post the pictures of his injuries because they're gruesome. In the end I was put in touch with their insurance company as requested for reimbursement for my dog's extensive vet bills and I believe that his vet services will be reimbursed. That being said, this in no way accounts for an unavoidable injury for Todd. I thought I was going to lose him given the volume of blood and his age. I would not bring any animal to a business that operates with such blatant disregard for the safety of the pets in their care.
