My dear friend Jack needed help with his aquarium and I suggested this establishment because of great reviews on YELP! I love our community and this place provided him with a great and knowledgeable technician who was lovely and he immediately signed up for their twice monthly service. The power of yelp reviews is astonishing, and I am so happy to be able to use it not only as a Yelp elite reviewer, but as somebody looking for suggestions for services that I am not well versed in. So, thank you to all of you people who help others by opining and sharing! I appreciate all of your insights and recommendations! My friend had a fantastic experience! And his fish were happy too! read more

Is there a way to leave 100 STARS rather than only 5? Aquatech Aquarium Service deserves it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! My beloved fish tank was probably suffering when I realized my Fluval power filter wasn't working properly, and after trying what I usually try when it gets glitchy, I freaked and realized I was going to have to first FIND, and then hire a professional to help me. I reached out here on Yelp to the top-rated Aquatech and spoke to an angel sent from heaven! Chiao called me immediately and kindly and patiently walked me thru troubleshooting steps and told me exactly what to do when the Fluval power filter wouldn't work. This took probably 15 minutes of her time and she did it gratis!! Then when I started shopping for the power filter online, I found that the power filter that I have is no longer available and asked Chiao for more help. She answered my questions about that as well! I am not only SO RELIEVED that my fish will make it until a new power filter arrives via Doordash today, but am THRILLED to have Aquatech in my contacts for future emergencies, etc., going forward. Today turned into a GREAT day because of Chiao. THANK YOU!!! read more

David helped me with tearing down my tank, cleaning it thoroughly, and finally sanitizing it. My tank had not been well maintained and was exceedingly dirty. He was extremely detailed, had all the right tools, and really knows about tanks. We got everything out of there and was super impressed with how clean we got it. He answered all of my questions and made any adjustments I requested. Super kind as well, highly recommend read more

Thank you Harold for bringing our 35 year old tank back to life! Harold provided such unique fish and made their home absolutely beautiful. Not only was he eager to share his vast knowledge about aquatic life but he is always readily available to answer any of our questions! My husband and I could not be happier with his services. Thank you again, Harold! read more

Wow! Harold is a WORLD of knowledge and incredibly helpful when it comes to taking care of fish, tanks, cleaning, filters, water, etc. We hired him to come and check out our cloudy beta fish tank that we were having trouble keeping clean. He was very thorough and patient while walking me through all of the steps on how to maintain the tank and how to keep our fish happy. Highly recommend Harold for any and all of your fish tank/ aquarium needs! read more

Chiao was very helpful and knowledgeable about an issue i was having with my koi. So happy I found her.

Doesnt answer, either is really successful and busy or does not care to make a new customer. They should improve customer service

Nice Custom Fish Tanks & Stands @ A Reasonable Price Good Craftsmanship & Materials Used in Preparation For Completion.

Harold has been servicing my tank for a few months now and it has never looked better. He is always on time and he really cares about the work he does. He's very knowledgeable on fish and their maintenance as well. I took his suggestions on sprucing up the tank and really like the new fish he put in. If you're in the South Bay and need help with your tank, you should definitely consider using Aquatech for your aquarium! read more

Although I did not get a chance to work with Harold overall, I will say I think he is good at what he does. I was very impressed with his knowledge of freshwater fish and aquarium set up. However, I wanted to set up a saltwater tank in my living room. He took the time to come visit my home and see the layout and discuss options. He was patient with me during the initial visit in explaining how set up and service works. My main issue with Harold is that he is too overbearing for me. Maybe that works for others. First example, I told him when we first met that I wanted a saltwater tank set up. But he spent 30 minutes trying to talk me out of and go with a freshwater tank. He probably gave me every disaster story associated with saltwater tanks! I stood firm in wanting a saltwater tank and he ultimately was willing to set up a saltwater tank, so I guess that wasn't a huge deal. But it definitely slowed me down in completing the deal with him. He seemed a bit less motivated when I insisted on going with a saltwater tank. In the end, I think he prefers to do freshwater tank set up. I think freshwater set up is his wheelhouse, and it looks like most of his work on his website and on Yelp displays freshwater tanks. I was not comfortable going with him for saltwater set up because it did not seem like it was his focus. If I'm wrong, I am sure he will be on here to aggressively correct me. Another issue for me was how he went about charging me. I wanted to order a specific canopy/cabinet. I am not sure if I was out of order or not, but I looked up the manufacturer and the canopy/cabinet and the wholesale price was $1300 fully assembled. I didn't know that that was secret information that I, as the end consumer, was not supposed to know. When I asked Harold for the cost for the canopy/cabinet he would charge me, he gave me a quote of $3300. I then asked him how much he was paying wholesale for charging me $3300. He responded, "what I mark up is my business" although he advised me that he was cheaper than a pet store. After I thought about it, I actually was inclined to accept his $2000 markup. I thought maybe that's the way it works in his business. But his responses, both verbally and via text, were just too aggressive and rude. I do not think my words or texts were so rude to deserve his rather aggressive responses. Overall, I think he is very competent. I just think he is a bit overbearing for customers who want a more cooperative approach. I needed someone a bit more able to listen and slow down. I didn't feel listened to very well. Again, I don't recommend against him. But I he just wasn't the right pick for me based on my experience explained above. ******************************************** Everything Harold said in his response below is correct. I did give him a deposit and he promptly returned it to me once I decided not to go further. I think the rest of his response makes all the points I wanted to convey in my review. I do not think I need to say anymore. read more

Really diligent and excellent guy... Harold makes the best fish tanks and Does the best servicing I've seen... very knowledgeable also and really cares about giving you great service read more

I always wanted a fish tank but allowed unfounded assumptions to sway me from taking the next step. After talking with Harold during our initial meeting, all those baseless assumptions quickly went away and I immediately knew that Aquatech would be the company to take my dream to the next step. From day one, Harold has always been extremely honest and very knowledgeable in every aspect of the fish and aquarium business. Always responsive and very clear when answering questions and he treats my fish and tank like it's his own. Because of Harold and Aquatech, my fish and tank STAY looking great! and I'm sure they will for many years to come! Thanks Harold! read more

I bought my daughter a tank and some fish at Petco not knowing what I was doing and went home to set it up. The outcome was water that was cloudy, the tank looked amateurish and ugly, one of the fish immediately died, and the whole thing stressed me out. I didn't even care about having a tank I was just doing it for my daughter. I found Harold on Yelp and he came to my house, set the tank up correctly (I wish I bought one from him in the first place), and put a blue backing on the tank that hid the wires and upgraded the decor to the point where it now looks like it belongs in the waiting room at an orthodontist office. The next day, he came by again with the most amazing assortment of fish! No one can believe our tank. I like it so much that I'm getting another tank for the living room that Harold picked out for me. Thanks Harold you are the man! read more

Love Harolds service . I have a 150 gallon tank in my business and it looks great. He answered all my questions and recommended new fish that I absolutely love . Definitely quality service . read more

Harold, when I spoke to my prior service company, they told me you went to their establishment and GLOATED about tam king their business which is extremely unprofessional. Also, I have now been told by three different aquarium specialists that the dish you chose for my aquarium are too large and should have never been put in there based on the size. I also didn't initially mention that you put driftwood in my aquarium and tried to keep it down with a piece of marble that toppled over and killed a fish and you took the stuff from my tank and keep it. As a professional that owns two businesses, I would never treat my cuustomers the way you treated me. You brought over items I never asked for and then charged me unreasonably and egregiously. read more

This is amazing. Harold has just started with our tank at my job. ALREADY, there is such a huge difference in our fish. I work for a Pediatrician office, and our tank is a favorite with our patients. Before the kids would look in the tank and count a fish or 2. It was dark and our fish hid a lot of the time. Now....... wow. The tank is bright, and the fish are all over the place!!!! They are so happy now. I can't wait to see what he has in store for our office!!!!! (I must confess, I come in every morning and talk to the fish now before anyone comes into the office) read more

Harold did an awesome job. My tank before looked horrible and I use to be self conscious about people coming over and seeing it. I had an Oscar and 2 Jack Dempseys. Harold came and redesigned my tank with new wood, gravel, plants, and stones. He supplied beautiful fish and took my other fish that had got way too big. I am more than satisfied with the result. I will for sure be doing all my business with Harold involving this tank and future tanks I get. read more

Highly recommended!!! I can't thank Harold enough for the amazing job that he did with my custom tank. Everything came out perfect! I was very specific about the aquascaping and Harold delivered and went above and beyond my expectations. Harold truly cares about his clients and ensures that the fish are handled with care. He is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. I receive responses in only a matter of minutes if I have any questions or concerns regarding my fish tank. I look forward to having him service my tanks because I know my fish are in good hands and there is no one else better fit for the job. Harold also has a great sense of humor - so that was a real bonus for me! Thank you again Harold for your incredible work! I've had so many compliments on my new fish tank.

Thank you Harold read more

We had an aquarium in our retirement community that was being serviced once a month by a different company. The fish kept dying or would barely even swim around. The tank was constantly filled with algae even just the day after being serviced. I was disappointed and so were our residents. I decided it was time to find a better solution. I contacted Harold, and right away he asked me to send him pictures of our existing tank. Turns out we had the wrong type of filter, gravel, and light. Harold redid the entire tank. He is extremely knowledgeable and worked with me every step of the way. We now have a gorgeous aquarium and our residents can't stop talking about it. We've even made an activity out of watching the fish get fed. read more

Harold helped me with a new 306 gallon tank and Has exceeded my expectations throughout. Here are a few reasons why 1. Explained all the choices and options. He knows his stuff! 2. He is always available and responsive. He checks in, tells you what to watch out for, what not to do, etc. text him he will hit you back. 3. He stocked my tank with an awesome variety. Was super impressed. 4. He is incredibly patient. Our renovation that included the tank took considerably longer than we had hoped. This meant Harold had a bunch of fish waiting to go into the new tank for weeks and weeks while the contractors finished the rest of the room. Once it was done I had a bunch of great fish right away (see #3). You won't be disappointed if you choose Aquatech. read more

I built a tank last year and after 6 month everything strated to die and go bad. I call Harold at Aquatech, and he came within a few days for a free consultaion and explain very professionally what was needed to be done. After 6 months and getting a new tank, I am very satified with the work he has done. I do not need to do anyhting. He comes once a month and takes care of everything. His prices are very fair. He also brings in more fish and plants if needed. I highley recomand this service to anyone who has an Aquarium, and does not want to take care of it alone. He is very professional and engoys doing what he is doing. I give him a 100% score read more

Harold has been great. He really knows fish and tanks. My tank is as clean and well kept as its ever been.

Thanks Harold. read more

I wrote a bad review a few months ago and it was taken down. Then I reviewed all his "5 Star" reviews and realized something is definitely "Fishy" -- I agree Harold is a good fish tank guy but when my bad review was taken, down I wonder if there's some pay off going on here. Harold came to my house in December 2021, coughing and I asked him if he he took a COVID test, he said no. I asked him to please do and let me know. Long story short he did not, and was very rude about it. Very strange guy. read more

Harold comes to my office and home and takes complete care of our beautiful fish tanks. He comes once a month and does a fabulous job. He brings food for our fish, designs and maintains the look and feel of the tanks. And periodically he brings me new fish that complement the tank and create no aggressive problems with the other fish. Our tanks are a showcase, they are lovely and they increase the value of both spaces. My clients never fail to stand in front of the tanks and marvel. Harold has great taste and a very comprehensive background in his field. And he is super responsive. I have been using him for 14 years and in the few instances where the fish are compromised by accident or operator error, he answers my calls and if need be he comes over immediately. He is great guy, offering a great service at a great and fair price. read more
