I have to say, anyone who has anything negative to say about Joel, The Atlanta Fish Guy, really does not have a clue! Joel has serviced our 180-gallon fish tank for probably 10-15 years. You really don't know what you've got with Joel until you find yourself without him for six months! Our tank had a lot of rock in it because it was originally a salt water tank, which Joel converted to fresh water years ago. Due to having problems with his shoulder and all the heavy rock in our tank, Joel had to stop being our maintenance guy. It was a very sad day for us when he couldn't maintain our tank anymore, but even sadder when after finding a new, supposedly professional fish guy (with good reviews!), he managed to kill every single fish in our tank! There were no mechanical, lighting or fish feeder issues, but a few days after a recent cleaning, our 25 or so fish started acting funny; all on top of the water in the corners. A few days later, every fish was dead. I immediately contacted Joel, with the hope that he could help us again or at least tell me who to call. He was here the next day! With his shoulder feeling better now, he and his son were able to drain every drop of water out and empty and clean all the gravel and rock. The tank is back in action and more beautiful than ever with Peacock cichlids and more plants than rock so it's manageable for him now. It's magnificent and Joel did the job in no time at all! So, here's praying for Joel to have good shoulders for many, many years to come because I NEVER want to be without him again! And after contacting the former guy with a more than nice text message about our ordeal and to tell him we're going back to Joel, his only response was: "OK." Joel is the absolute best and very reasonably priced for his expertise in the field! I feel very fortunate that we live within his service area. I'm sorry if you don't, but don't blame that on Joel for goodness sake!! We love you, Joel! And THANK YOU!!! read more
