I gave them a key to my house so they could come by every three weeks to maintain my aquarium, which requires a lot of trust, and they handled everything professionally and responsibly. Not only did they take excellent care of my fish, but they actually made the aquarium look better than it ever had before. The water quality, the setup, and the overall appearance were noticeably improved each time. When I returned home, all of my fish were healthy, active, and clearly well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my aquarium was in such good hands while I was away. I highly recommend ABC Aquatic to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy aquarium maintenance. Outstanding service from start to finish.

Update 3/12/2026: I…read morerecently bought a house in San Jose that came with a pond. Unfortunately the previous owner had passed away and left no instructions, so I had absolutely no idea where to start. I've never had a pond before and knew nothing about how to maintain one. I remember having a great experience with Aqua lab back in 2016 so I called them back up and Kent was incredibly helpful from the start. He took the time to walk me through everything and explain how the system works without ever making me feel dumb for asking very basic questions. We decided to do a one-time deep cleaning to restore the pond. Before the scheduled cleaning, Kent stopped by to check out the system and figure out what actually needed to be done. He ended up fixing a broken part, doing a full deep clean of the pond and the filter/skimmer, and adding beneficial water additives. Since I live about 3 hours away, he kept me updated throughout the process with photos and messages, which I really appreciated. He even left me some pond tools to use and offered to come back another time, at no extra charge, when I'm at the house so he can walk me through the system in person and show me how to do the regular monthly maintenance myself (or help with that if I decide I'd rather have him handle it). His pricing was very fair and actually came in lower than other local shops I contacted. Overall just a really great experience. I've attached before and after photos of the pond. Highly recommend Aqua Lab and working with Kent. What a great guy!

I have worked with a few folks who have been good, but I wanted to get my pond to the next level. Elan IS next level. Not only is he helpful, honest, hardworking, and genuinely a nice guy - he is also open to teaching you how to be a better pond and koi owner. I've been working with Elan for about 2 years now - and have nothing but great things to say. He has helped me improve my pond - get better at testing it - and keeping my fish healthy and happy! Beyond this - he has helped with getting new fish when we had one pass away. Elan and his team are the best and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Elan saved our pond--and our koi!**…read more When we moved into our new home, the backyard koi pond was in terrible shape: murky, greenish water where we could barely see the fish. Thankfully, we found Elan online. He gave us a quote over the phone and clearly explained how he would clean and restore the pond. When Elan arrived, he gently captured the koi and smaller fish, placing them safely into buckets. He then drained the filthy water completely. What he uncovered was shocking--decades' worth of mud-like waste from fish droppings and uneaten food, likely accumulated over 70 years. Wearing a scuba suit, Elan meticulously vacuumed and scooped out the muck, then pressure-washed away layers of algae. He didn't stop there--he thoughtfully rearranged the decorative bricks and stones and carefully tied down the aquatic plants for a neat, natural look. Finally, he refilled the pond with fresh, conditioned water and gently released the fish back into their beautifully restored home. We were absolutely amazed--the transformation was stunning. Now we truly enjoy watching our fish swim happily in their crystal-clear pond. We can't thank Elan enough for his expertise, dedication, and genuine passion for aquatic life.

STOP, DON'T waste time looking for other aquarium services. You found the BEST one, I promise…read more Since this review will be long, thought I would emphasize on the point of my review from the beginning... instead of making you read through everything. Many businesses will help you buy a new tank... but have you ever tried to get rid of one? Not just any old fish tank but a giant one, where you could probably teach your kid to swim in it... We are talking about 400-gallon fish tank that was built way too DIY, extremely heavy, filled with livestock, ton of sand and rocks. If you are not into fish, this is easily 4,000 lbs... with many surprise attacks from the DIY "Offense Team". You really want someone who knows what they are doing... unless you want a mini flood of saltwater in your living room.. I contacted MANY businesses including junk removal but wasn't satisfied due to poor communications, lack of planning/professionalism. Thankfully, I read about Ocean Treasures Servicing on social media and did my research/stalking via FB, IG, and... reef forums and found only great things. The owner himself, Daniel, came down all the way from SF for a in person consultation then emailed me a meticulous thought-out plan on step by step of removing the giant tank. The Game Day - Daniel came with 3 team members + 1 cargo van + 1 U-Haul (this thing was huge..) Everyone from the team treated the house like their own, laid out floor protectant all over, swept every bit of sand before attempting to move any heavy items (a little sand that gets dragged can make quiet an impression on your floor), safely caught all the living creatures (all alive :D), and finished the job as if they literally CTRL+X the whole thing out of the house. Ocean Treasures Servicing is simply AMAZING. You would think after all the trouble of getting rid of a tank, I would be done... but NOPE! Since I found the best team I can trust, I am in the process of building a replacement one that is professional made by Daniel and his team...... No more DIY, unleveled, loud sounds, and random cuts from DIY stuff.... Don't Do it yourself, it's not worth it.. Trust Daniel and Ocean Treasures Servicing and just enjoy the hobby.
