Beach Cities Aquatics - Happy fish - Aquarium Services Near Me

Highly recommend Ryan ! I had another service which just wasn't taking of my Koi Fish pond as it used to. I found Ryan on yelp and called for a consultation. His response was quick and informative. His first visit he went up and beyond to clear the water. I even had a dripping concern over the past weekend and he promptly responded with recommendations and even offered to come the next day on a Sunday. If you are looking for a service that goes beyond expectations hire Ryan you won't be disappointed! read more

Ryan Powers has serviced my koi pond for over 5 years. He came highly recommended from the previous owners, from who I purchased the home in Anahiem Hills. During this time the pond has been subjected to leaks, contamination (due to the Santa Ana winds), and disease within the koi community. All these negative factors come with owning a high maintenance koi pond, with a large population of koi (20 plus fish). Ryan has a vast knowledge of marine life, through his formal education and experience at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. He's educated me on the culture, the needs, and do's and don't's as it relates to maintaining the pond and caring for mature koi that are over 30 years old. He has saved my fish from dying when disease struck and when all the fish had to be removed, relocated (fostering pool), to repair a leak caused by roots in neighboring plants. Aside from being my ponds curator, he has become a great friend. His passion for caring for my koi pond and it's koi, is just part of who he is. He was there for me and my adult daughter, when we lost my wife due to her bout with cancer right before the pandemic. He did everything possible to accommodate our needs, became best buddies with our dogs and was always available to help us through our grieving process. Ryan is a great person and I'm proud to say he is more then the pond guy, he's my friend! read more

Ryan took care of my Koi pond that need much care. He is very professional, knowledgeable and CLEAN. His rate is a bargain.

Really awesome company! So greatful to Beach Cities Aquatics for taking care of my newly acquired pond! They do a great job! Thank you soooooo much!! read more

Beach Cities Aquatics does a great job servicing and repairing my pond, while preserving whatever parts we can. Other companies quoted me 5-10 times as much to clean my pond and get it operational and were not even as pleasant and friendly as this company. He owner responded promptly to my initial call and came out the same day to quote the job. He always responds promptly to any inquiry I make and goes above and beyond to make me happy. I highly recommend them! read more

Finally someone who actually shows up and knows what they're doing!!!! Highly recommend Beach Cities Aquatics! read more

I called Ryan to clean out my small pond, which had 2-3 years of leaves and muck. It took about two hours and he did a great job -- the pond looks brand new. He even stopped by to restock the pond with mosquito fish. read more

Don't even read the one bad review. The fist time ryan came over was just to give an estimate on how to get my homemade koi pond properly filtered. At that time he saved my fish by completely changing out the water and cleaning out and treating the refill. Fish were pleased. He came back with a quote for a filtration system and some landscaping (which he said he doesn't normally do). Quote was beyond reasonable. He set an appointment, showed up on time, worked through the killer heat conditions that we had (to the verge of passing out) and has even come back for some minor tweaks. In addition to leaving our murky pond crystal clear, he also put in some lights, rocks and plants. He is completely reliable, personable, and take a huge amount of pride in his work. Simply the best! read more

See all

Thank you Yelpers for helping me find Ryan. I purchased a house unbeknownst to me my pond had koi fish- not until the day I moved in. The water was so murky I didn't know there were a dozen koi fish in the pond- yea gross. Anyhow I contacted Ryan and he came out the same day and gave me a few options. I ended up having him fully drain and clean the pond, take out all the brick and stones that were obstructing the fish, put in new plants and replace the fountain. You can tell he is extremely knowledgeable and gave me good tips on how to keep my fish healthy etc. Highly recommend!! Agree with other reviewers he is also very chill, not pushy and fairly priced. I hired him for monthly maintenance too. read more

Ryan is a very honest guy. He came by and gave his assessment of our old atrium pond, explaining what fixes we may be able to do on our own and where we might need his help. Very helpful, casual and non-salesly experience. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Ryan. I didn't know a thing about owning a pond when I bought my house. Over the last few years Ryan has been my go-to guy when it comes to taking care of our water feature. Since first meeting Ryan, he's helped us with a number of issues that have come up: a pump failure, out of control algae growth, a broken UV light and a loss of water pressure...so basically everything. He's always responded immediately and repaired the issue in a timely manner to ensure our Koi fish stay healthy. His prices have always been fair and his work high quality. Plus he's just a nice guy to top it all off. I highly recommend him. read more

You cannot get better than Ryan at Beach City Aquatics. I left my former pond company OC Pond and Fountain Service (see my review - horrible) and was absolutely blessed to find Ryan. From day 1 he was incredibly responsive, patient, talented, reliable, professional, personable and a true expert. Here is an example of his genuine love for the fish and ponds he cares for: I was out of town and had breaker issues causing many fish to die. I texted Ryan who came out and helped save what he could. The ones who needed emergency attention he took to his own home hospital tank and rehabilitated. He returned them as they were healthy and just returned one last week after caring for him/her for a year! My pond has never been consistently clear and gorgeous like it is now. He is meticulous with cleaning, including vacuuming the pond routinely and cleaning every layer of every filter. He's not asking me to purchase crap I don't need and he leaves little reminder notes when I feed the little guys a "tad" too much. He is very reasonably priced and never misses a beat. I trust him more than anyone I've ever worked with for anything in or around my home. If my fish could have a godfather I would elect him :-) You can't go wrong. And I am OCD about my fish. My only regret is I'm often on conference calls when he comes by and I can't go say hi... And that it took me forever to write this well deserved and far too delayed review. Thanks Ryan! read more

We had been looking for a koi pond servicer for a while and used different services before Ryan. He is by far the most professional and reliable person we have used. We have a small koi pond in our yard and understandably not that large of a job in comparison to others, but he is always happy to come help us when we have issues and share his knowledge. He is the best! read more

RYAN POWERS services the pond next door to my Cerritos residence. One of my water features pump went out and although I DID NOT GET A RECOMMENDATION from my neighbor, I asked RYAN POWERS to come over when he was done and see if he could do anything; he told me not to worry and he would provide pricing and scheduling shortly; he did say something odd that should have warned me: "my wife and I have as much business as we want". I thought that was odd; I was under a time crunch as I was preparing for a garden tour. RYAN POWERS never called me back for status or even to tell me that he couldn't do the job. When I inquired of him him on his next service next door, he didn't say anything but just shrugged his shoulders. There is enough negativism in this world and I hesitated to do this review, but apparently something has changed and appears the level of service from this firm may have been mitigated. If one is to get an estimate from this individual, I would suggest getting a competitive estimate at the same time just in the case of the same non performance that I experienced. read more

Quality work at a fair price done extremely well. Lots and lots of experience worked at the Long Beach aquarium for years and years doing pumps and tanks and cleanings in fact he was in the tropical section of the Long Beach aquarium which really really measures and mirrors the type of cleanings and work that he's doing now. He's very polite and courteous and he actually listens to you to do what you want and I've seen it other people trying to fill Agenda. He will interject if something is impossible and He'll be upfront about it. It's really hard to find somebody with more than 20 years experience in this field and when you find somebody you got a latch onto them read more

Do not use!!!! Very poor customer service. Extremely rude, lazy owner/operator. He came to clean our pond, was 5 hours late and ate his lunch WHILE cleaning the pond. Definitely do not waste your time. read more

We found Ryan at Beach Cities Aquatics online when the pump for our koi pond went out 2 years ago. He was a lifesaver then and installed a new pump for us. Unfortunately, the pump failed on 7/4. I texted Ryan to let him know the pump would not start. Since it was a holiday, I did not expect him to answer that day but he actually did. Since it was still under warranty, he contacted the store he purchased the pump from and they called the manufacturer. Since the pump needed to be returned to the manufacturer, Ryan stopped by the house, picked up the pump and sent it off to the manufacturer himself. A week or so later, the manufacturer sent back the repaired pump. Ryan stopped by again and reinstalled the fixed pump. So grateful that he handled all of this for us!!! He is excellent at communication and always lets us know when he will be stopping by. Excellent customer service!!! Plus I also found out he does pond maintenance so we no longer need to do this ourselves. We can put it in the hands of a professional for a very reasonable price. My pond and fish will be VERY happy! Thank you so much Ryan for the great service and peace of mind you have provided us!!! read more

Ryan cares for my koi pond. I've found his service to be excellent. Given his background working at the Long Beach Aquarium, he is very knowledgeable about fish. He is conscientious about his work, professional in his manner, on-time for scheduled appointments and fair in his prices. Very importantly, he has been a gentleman in all my dealings with him. I am a very satisfied customer and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. read more
