Hello! I was given a complete, older model, corner style, 65-gallon, aquarium. It came with a sump…read morepump filtration system, something of which I was personally unfamiliar with setting up. After contacting Elmer's Aquarium, in Monroeville, PA, to inquire on recommendations for in-home aquarium service, I was directed to JohnR, owner of Aquarist Company. Meeting John was truly my good fortune. John is so knowledgeable in aquarium operation. He immediately assured me that I had, indeed, been given all the correct components to begin using the (foreign to me!) sump pump filtration system with my aquarium. As he worked on my installation & tank set up, John kindly, very respectively, patiently & certainly, most professionally, explained his installation process, as well as the function of the filter, to me. As I write this review, we are in the process of waiting for my newly set up tank to undergo the nitrogen cycle before relocating my existing fish into their beautifully landscaped new home. Thanks so much, John!! You are truly a pleasure with whom to work and have visit my home. I highly recommend you/your company to anyone in need of your very valuable aquarium services. Yours most sincerely, Melanie Burnheimer Vandergrift, PA.

If I could give them a zero star rating I would. I took an injured House Sparrow to this place to…read moreget help, after looking all over PA for a vet who could help me. They were too busy to look at the poor little house sparrow. We left and drove for a total of two hours looking for another rescue, but found none. The sparrow we rescued had an injured foot but was eating and flying in our spare bedroom. We felt that the bird would have a chance if a vet could help it. After we got home from a wasted trip all over Pgh, we fed the little bird and gave it water, which it ate and drank fine. The next morning, early, there was a police officer at my front door, demanding to have the bird. I was shocked. I told him that the bird was a house sparrow and we were trying to save it by calling all over for a vet who could help this bird. He demanded that we either let it free to be food for other wildlife or take it back to that ARL Wildlife Center for them to check it. I told him that we tried the day prior but they were busy clipping the predator bird's nails and wouldn't get to this tiny sparrow for who knows when. He continued to demand that I wake my daughter who was ill. I had no choice but to wake her and tell her he wants to see the bird. She brought him downstairs and he said to either release it or take it back to Verona. I live 1 1/2 hour's away from Verona. That was a terrible trip for me the day before. But he said that we had to do it. So I told him I would. The next day we took the bird back to that place and the young girl who looks like she was 14 years old, killed the bird while my daughter and I cried. Then I found out that the House Sparrows are NOT federally protected birds and we didn't have to take the baby to that place to die. She was the one who sent the police after us to make us bring that poor baby to her to die. Don't take any wildlife you find to this ARL Center.

A great resource in our area, more people should know about them. They give second chances where…read moresome animals would have no hope otherwise. Unfortunately not all injured wildlife survives, but I'm sure the staff does their best and I'm thankful all the lives they can save. Donations are requested but not required, which is very reasonable when you imagine how much it food and medicine alone cost. In most cases you can get updates and it feels great when you find out that they saved "your" critter. PS If you find an animal outside of business hours, there are sheltered cages near the door to safely drop animals off until help arrives.
