Regarding water feature service: I shimmied over to PondMarket in South County to figure out where…read morein the world to start with a problem I had on a newly acquired waterfall in my backyard. They filled me in on all the possible reasons my water feature could be losing water and gave me the number of Chad at Gateway Aquatics to come look at it. We are handy. My husband is in construction. We both stared at the water feature and had no idea where to even start troubleshooting it. I was SO grateful when Chad came by. Now, it's not free to have him come by...but it's helpful. He was very informative in explaining all the possible issues and how they could go about fixing it. He texted me an estimate that day or the next and could start the work the following week. I waited about a month to schedule but he was on it then. A 50% payment is required before the work is done and it can be paid by credit card with no extra fee. Chad and the helper came by on time and did a great job fixing it. In my case, the water feature was leaking water. They dug up the hillside, replaced the hose, replaced one pump, replaced the waterfall box, and a few other small things. Total was around $2,500. I was shocked to hear him tell me how much people pay for these things. SHOCKED. I inherited it in a house purchase and it better be good for a while with no calls to Chad needed!

They had several of these really cute mini ready-to-take-home aquarium/plant/shrimp setups in a tank that looks like a giant Lego brick, and several 2 to 3- gallon micro tanks were on display right up front.

I had a great time letting them show me around, and I walked out with a new plant and driftwood piece for my countertop water garden!
