I cannot recommend Jared's Aquarium Service enough! I recently had to move my setup, and Jared went…read moreabove and beyond the standard cleaning. Not only did he do an incredible job servicing the tank, but he also helped me physically transfer the entire system to my new unit. Moving a tank is incredibly stressful, but he handled everything with such care and professionalism. A few highlights from my experience: Expert Knowledge: Jared provided amazing education and information throughout the process. I learned more about my water chemistry in one hour than I have in the last year! Crystal Clear Results: My tank has literally never been this clear. The water is pristine, and the glass is spotless. Happy Fish: You can genuinely tell the fish are much happier and more active in their refreshed environment. I am so impressed that I've already signed up for monthly maintenance to keep things looking this good. If you care about your fish and want someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile, Jared is your guy!

(I know! ) Jared was super communicative, professional, and kind. He did an amazing job getting my tanks to be something I enjoy looking at again and he even politely answered my rapid fire fish questions and discussed stocking with me. Will definitely be using his services again and recommend him to anyone looking for some fish help!

I reached out to Daniel, he was very responsive, and I sent photos of my inspiration, and described the type of tank I wanted, the size, along with my budget. Daniel kindly let me know that what I was asking for was not going to be within my budget , and I was ready to throw in the towel. A few days later, Daniel reached out and let me know he was able to come up with a solution that would fit my budget! Everything came together quickly, and I could not be more pleased . The follow up has been amazing as well, I highly recommend Authentic Aquariums!

He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely wanted to help me solve the problem . As someone who's fairly hands-on with my reef tank, that meant a lot. Even though they didn't come out, they absolutely earned my trust and future business. Highly recommend them to anyone in the reefing hobby.

I'm in disbelief…read more... I have a pre-drilled 75 Gal aquarium tank and was in a bit of a bind with my API Filstar XP canister filter which had a bad impeller and the water flow was poor. While looking for a replacement part, I found out that this filter was discontinued and replacement parts are scarce to non-existent.  I purchased a Fluval Canister filter but found out that it was not compatible with the existing plumbing.  Facing the propects of having to do a replumb, and not knowing where to start, and what parts I would need, I decided to google search for companies that could perform this service.   I called MK Aquarium and Kevin answered.  He took the time to understand my issue.  What I really appreciated about Kevin is that he decided that I could save money by doing the work myself AND he would be willing to walk me through how to do it.  Candidly, I was shocked and touched by this act of kindness from a business owner. Kevin was on the phone with me, answered all my messages and I was able to get it done.  My tank is up and running with no issues so far. As with any act of kindness, I'm playing it forward.  Anyone that is willing to assist a total stranger is high character in my book and it speaks volumes about the company itself.  If you need aquarium services , I strongly recommend you reach out MK and Kevin because they are going to be honest and fair..Thank you Kevin for the huge assist.

It went from looking super cool to being covered in hair algae and gunk so bad I thought it was impossible to fix. John came by, checked everything, and we booked a service. In just a few hours, he seriously brought our whole tank back to life. He cleaned it up, rearranged the rocks and corals so nicely, and now we can't stop staring at it. Our fish looks happier, the corals look happier... honestly we're happier too. :) I appreciate how easy he made everything for us. It took such a big weight off my mind. Thank you, John!
