Noel was recommended to me for a terrarium set up (a gift I gave to my wife). I must say I was so happy to find out that he also did aquariums,not only is he knowledgable,he is also professional and friendly. We have two tanks and the terrarium and he keeps them pristine. We are already thinking about tank 3 and terrarium 2 and I am quite certain with the help of Anchor Aquarium (Noel and Hal) they will be works of art. I don't know if we can say thank you enough. read more

Noel and Hal from Anchor Aquarium are total pleasures to work and absolutely amazing at their jobs. I had an emergency situation following a fire in apartment and needed my tank and fish moved quickly. They came to my house the next day and managed to move my 20 gallon tank from a third floor walk-up to a fourth floor walk up in no time. And the tank looks wayyyyy better than before the move. Hire these guys! read more

These guys really know what they're doing . Aquarium geeks, meant in the best way possible. They saved my tank which was a vibrant Forrest: of hair algae that is. The result of years of neglect. Now my tank is thriving with amazing fish and corals they select for me. I highly recommend getting live stock through them and if you help with maintenance read more

What an excellent experience; I had an emergency when the pump on my 125 gallon freshwater aquarium died and no doubt the stars were aligned in my favor when I contacted Noel who assured me he'd do the best he could under the circumstances and that I'd be hearing from him or his partner Hal shortly. Lo and behold within a very short period of time Hal rushed over to my Brooklyn residence and immediately assessed the problem and resolved it in a most courteous and professional manner. Not only that, he corrected several technical concerns regarding hose/clamp replacements; one of which was quite necessary and he also resolved some other issues in another smaller aquarium I have that needed to be addressed; they were successfully remedied. I was also instructed on how better to maintain my aquariums. That said, I certainly do highly recommend Anchor Aquarium Service who wholeheartedly deserve my accolades; I look forward to utilizing their professional 'state of the art' expertise on my valued aquariums in the future. read more

Noel is a true professional with a passion for all things aquatic. His expertise and service I truly appreciated. After having used other aquarium professionals and having less than positive experiences I can only recommend know and his team over and over again. read more

I have a small 50 gallon saltwater aquarium that had an algae problem. After multiple attempts at trying to remedy my problem from advice on message boards, I decided I needed some professional help. A friend recommended Anchor Aquarium. Noel was great! He recommended I change my substrate and swap out my nitrate sponge. BOOM! 1 month later and the tank is clearing out nicely! No more new algae, and the old stuff is disappearing! If I had a larger tank, I would not hesitate to hire Anchor Aquarium to service on the regular! I highly recommend! read more

What started as a gift to build a terrarium has now built into a long standing relationship. Sizes of tank doesn't seem to matter this great company where as getting care advice from some others have been non responsive ("...google it.."). Being hobbyists, we naturally do research on our own but learning some tips and tricks from Noel has been invaluable. We have two aquariums (9G Nano and 35G RedSea Max) and 55G terrarium. They have always been professional, efficient, engaging, and a willingness to share/educate their clients. They've earned our trust in taking care of our babies! Thanks guys! We've couldn't ask for better... read more

Noel took our 100 gal office reef tank from a sad, decrepit, neglected hazard zone to a serene, beautiful, and healthy environment filled with all kids of fascinating livestock. He actually redesigned the tank! He is extraordinarily knowledgeable and talented. In speaking with him, you truly get the sense that he has found his calling - he loves his work and it shows. The whole office enjoys his maintenance visits - especially the fish! read more

Had called multiple companies in NYC to have a breakdown of my tank for a long distance move. Received an immediate response for a quote with a call to fully understand exactly what I wanted done. When a time was set up to complete the work it was done on time and EXACTLY what I wanted done. Noel was also a huge help to put me in contact with a quality LFS in Florida and I look forward to working with them. I wish I had found Anchor a year ago when i began the hobby as they are knowledgeable and great to work with. read more

Can I give six stars please?? When I moved in, I inherited a small backyard pond, as well as five inches of muck at the bottom of it. The pump finally gave out during the "polar vortex", and by the time I found anchor aquarium service, my fish were gasping at the surface. I felt like an abusive fish mother. I'd searched for months for a pond expert, but instead all I found were landscapers that happened to also service ponds. With Noel you not only get pond construction and maintenance knowledge, but a marine biology background, and an aesthetic sensibility. Noel replied within a few minutes of my sending a "cry for help" email. And that kind of responsiveness and service has continued to the present day. He truly is the "Pond Doctor." He not only cleaned out the pond, he designed and built a filter customized for my pond. He also cleverly rearranged a few rocks so the mechanicals are hidden, and gave the fish more hiding places from the notorious neighborhood raccoon. In essence, he made the pond better than it ever was before, both aesthetically and functionally. The water is crystal clear, the fish are happy, and I am thrilled! read more

These guys are awesome! I don't just feel like they want business, they genuinely care about the animals. They do their best to to make sure your aquatic needs are met with the budget you work with. Noel takes great pride in what he does. My tank is now fabulous after being cleaned and cared for half-assed by the previous aquarium place. I highly recommend Anchor Aquarium's services. They know what they are doing. The way they care for my tank...I could ask for nothing more. Two Thumbs up!n read more

I had a 92 gallon corner tank that had been collecting dust for a year and I seriously wanted to begin building a saltwater reef aquarium. I found Noel's flyer in a local neighborhood deli about 9 months ago. I proceeded to contact him and we had a lengthy conversation from which I left confident that he was the man for the job. 9 months later he's built me a marvelous reef tank and is constantly coming by our office for maintenance and upkeep. What I learned most is that the guys in local pet stores are somewhat misguided and unseasoned in their knowledge of what it takes to set up a reef tank. The store from which I purchased the tank nearly 2 years ago did not give me any of the necessary equipment (and some incorrect parts) to run and maintain a healthy reef tank. Not only will he build you a pristine aquarium, he'll fill your head with tons of scientific knowledge about the oceanic environment. I've since referred him to one of my friends. Give him a call if you're even the least bit thinking about starting up a tank. read more

After an exhaustive search to locate someone reliable and competent to service my salt water tank, I couldn't be happier with Noel. He's like a modern day Jacques Cousteau!! Unparalleled expertise and passionate about creating a spectacular aquarium. Highly recommend! read more
