I cannot recommend Jared's Aquarium Service enough! I recently had to move my setup, and Jared went…read moreabove and beyond the standard cleaning. Not only did he do an incredible job servicing the tank, but he also helped me physically transfer the entire system to my new unit. Moving a tank is incredibly stressful, but he handled everything with such care and professionalism. A few highlights from my experience: Expert Knowledge: Jared provided amazing education and information throughout the process. I learned more about my water chemistry in one hour than I have in the last year! Crystal Clear Results: My tank has literally never been this clear. The water is pristine, and the glass is spotless. Happy Fish: You can genuinely tell the fish are much happier and more active in their refreshed environment. I am so impressed that I've already signed up for monthly maintenance to keep things looking this good. If you care about your fish and want someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile, Jared is your guy!

(I know! ) Jared was super communicative, professional, and kind. He did an amazing job getting my tanks to be something I enjoy looking at again and he even politely answered my rapid fire fish questions and discussed stocking with me. Will definitely be using his services again and recommend him to anyone looking for some fish help!

I reached out to Daniel, he was very responsive, and I sent photos of my inspiration, and described the type of tank I wanted, the size, along with my budget. Daniel kindly let me know that what I was asking for was not going to be within my budget , and I was ready to throw in the towel. A few days later, Daniel reached out and let me know he was able to come up with a solution that would fit my budget! Everything came together quickly, and I could not be more pleased . The follow up has been amazing as well, I highly recommend Authentic Aquariums!

Even though they didn't come out, they absolutely earned my trust and future business. Highly recommend them to anyone in the reefing hobby.

It went from looking super cool to being covered in hair algae and gunk so bad I thought it was impossible to fix. John came by, checked everything, and we booked a service.

Our fish looks happier, the corals look happier... honestly we're happier too. :) I appreciate how easy he made everything for us. It took such a big weight off my mind. Thank you, John!
