Golan and his team are very professional and knowledgeable. They designed and installed my freshwater 180 gallons aquarium and answered ton of questions from my initial request all the way to the end result. They are a dependable and trustworthy company that stands behind their work and expectedly has 5 stars rating. Would highly recommend them! read more

Oceans Aquarium is perhaps the most professional and high-quality aquarium provider that I've had the privilege of using. I have used several other companies in the past, but nothing compares to Oceans Aquarium Design. Golan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, kind, helpful, reasonable, efficient, resourceful, and intelligent. His attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction goes above and beyond any that I've ever seen in this industry, perhaps in any industry, for that matter. It is truly top-class level of customer service. We recently purchased a 270-gallon saltwater aquarium for our grandfather, who is essentially bed-ridden. The aquarium was installed in his room so that he can gaze upon it whenever he wants. The amount of joy it has given him is indescribable. That man loves his clown fish and tangs! I truly believe that although my grandfather's quality of life has deteriorated in recent years, Golan has provided him with a degree of pleasure and comfort that no surgery, therapy, or medication could provide. In the extremely rare case that there is a problem with the set up or a mistake is made, Golan responds immediately, and in my experience, he remedies the problem within 24 hours. He has been consistently available to speak on the phone, and has even stopped by the house on short-notice (this is especially kind of him considering he is usually a 30-40 minute drive away). He always listens to our requests and does his best to accommodate whenever feasible. If something cannot be done, he will go out of his way to find the best possible substitution. You can genuinely tell that he takes great pride in his work and loves to share his talent and insight with his clients. On several occasions he even completed expensive work without being paid beforehand. He has confidence in his craft and it is evidenced by his exceptional results. Sometimes we would disagree or be skeptical about a particular design choice or aquatic addition, and Golan would simply respond, "trust me." Every single time, our trust was rewarded several times over. He is truly an artist when it comes to setting up the coral and reefs, as well as choosing a vibrant, healthy, and aesthetically-pleasing school of fish. His technician, Alex, is also very helpful, professional, caring, and genuine. Alex has made several last-minute trips to remedy or address particular needs, free of charge, something which would probably incur an additional charge with other companies. I think it's important to note that Golan's work is not cheap, but one would not (or should not) expect such a professional and consistent level of quality work to be on par with any run-of-the-mill aquarium provider. In spite of this, I've never once felt as if he was taking advantage of us or trying to price-gouge. Golan has always tried to remain within our desired budget, even suggesting cheaper fish over more expensive ones if he believed that they would more adequately satisfy our intentions. Whereas other providers might take the opportunity to suggest the most expensive fish, Golan always tries to meet our needs/satisfaction first, even if that means choosing the less-expensive fish/corals. Thank you so much, Golan and Alex! You two are genuine artists and professionals! read more

Oceans Aquarium Design - Our beautiful tank - Aquarium Services Near Me - Signal Hill, California

Where to begin! We have been loyal customers of Oceans Aquarium for the past 3 years. Their service is like no other!!! Our light broke in our tank and I was scared that our mushrooms were going to die. I immediately called Golan and expressed my concerns. He explained to me that the mushrooms were able to live without light for 3 days. Instantly I felt relieved. I ordered the light he recommended and he made sure to have someone come and install it as soon as it arrived. Even after the light was installed, Golan made sure to come by to check on our tank. Derek cleans our tank twice a month. He always does a fantastic job and leaves our tank looking pristine. He is very knowledgeable and always answers all of our questions....and believe me I have many questions. Needless to say we are very impressed by him. Overall we are extremely satisfied with Oceans Aquarium. Golan and his team provide exceptional service and we would recommend them to everyone! -Pacific Dental Aesthetics read more

In late 2008, we decided to remodel our bathroom, and got the crazy idea that an aquarium in the shower wall could be an exciting addition. So we contacted Oceans Aquarium and Golan Binder called us back. From the first encounter, we knew we'd found the right person for all our aquarium needs. Golan helped us design, build and now maintain our 100+ gallon saltwater reef tank. He has helped us with every aspect of the process, and any challenge that has arisen since. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and creative and most of all, patient with our questions and concerns. He is also reliable, loyal and has never left us in a lurch or failed to follow through with his assertions. We have one of the most beautiful aquariums I've ever seen, and I owe that all to Golan. Whether you're thinking of adding a small saltwater tank, or building an entire aquarium wall, no job is too big or too complicated for this seasoned expert. We have greatly enjoyed the last 5 years of our aquarium, and we have Golan to thank for this enjoyment. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help from a friendly and hyper-competent professional! read more

Oceans Aquarium Design - Oceans Aquarium built this awesome saltwater reef tank ... in my shower! - Aquarium Services Near Me - Signal Hill, California

If anyone out there is looking for someone to set up or service his or her tank look no further than Oceans Aquarium. The quality of service that Golan and his team provided us was truly exceptional. Golan was honest, never selling us anything we didn't need or anything that might of harmed our tank. In other words, Golan always looked after our best interest. We truly appreciated that. Over the course of 5 years doing business with Golan, we had two issues with our tank. Both of these issues were dealt with in a professional and prompt manner. He provided quick solutions that got our tank back to its optimal state in no time. Each time our tank was serviced, it looked like it was a brand new tank afterwards! Today we had to part ways with our fish tank of 5 years. It was a pleasure doing business with Oceans Aquarium for that length of time. Golan is a very personable person and was a pleasure to talk with. We'll miss the tank, but more importantly, we'll miss Golan and his friendly staff and the professional service he provided. I guarantee that you will be happy with the service they provide. read more

I've always wanted a saltwater aquarium in my home. When it was time for me to begin the hunt for the company that was going to help make my dream a reality, I happened upon Oceans Aquarium's website, facebook page and then read all of the yelp reviews. After only a few minutes, I knew I had found the company to set it up right. Golan came over one evening to the house and provided us with a wonderful consultation. He took measurements, guided us through the entire process and answered all of our questions. He even sent a contractor over a few days later to make sure that our home could support the ultimately 270g tank we were planning on installing. The entire process was very smooth and throughout the whole time, Golan communicated with us so we knew what was happening along the way. The tank looks so beautiful in our home and we are so happy with it!! Thank you Golan and Julio for all of your hard work!! If you are curious about what a 270g reef tank looks like, you are welcome to come over and visit it with Golan. I would highly recommend him for all of your saltwater aquarium needs!! Cheers! read more

Oceans Aquarium Design - The aquarium Golan and his team at Oceans Aquarium custom built and installed! - Aquarium Services Near Me - Signal Hill, California

Major 5 starts for Oceans Aquarium. We moved into a house that has a 200 gallon salt water aquarium. I never had an aquarium and didn't realize the amount of work required to maintain it. We spotted an Oceans Aquarium truck and looked them up. Golan came over and was able to describe each of the 7 exotic fish in the tank. He provides excellent service, has been very patient and attentive to all questions/service requests and is very reliable. Four months into the house, our fish look healthy and the aquarium is still a beautiful addition to our den. There is no way it would look like this without Ocean Aquarium's amazing service. Golan has also recommended and added new additions to the tank (fish and corals) making it look even better than when we first moved in. Definitely "as good as it gets"! read more

I spoke with Golan regarding the specific concerns and needs of my tank. He was very professional, punctual, observant and knowledgeable in his assessment and recommendation. He worked with my schedule and understood my time frame. When he came to service the tank, he was punctual, respectful of the time and worked quickly and did a wonderful job in getting the tank up and running. He provided information on options for products and supplies which was very helpful. Extremely happy with the overall results. read more

Oceans Aquarium Design - Aquarium Services Near Me - Signal Hill, California

When my family decided on the decision to build a custom aquarium, we wanted it to be spectacular and to match the design of our home. I met with half a dozen companies before meeting Golan and his team. It was a clear choice that Golan and his team were the right choice. The technical experience is second to none, the quality of the tank and artificial reef is the best I have seen. Hands down the best part of this experience has been the follow up and customer service. I know Golan and his team have much bigger jobs but they made me feel like I am a priority. The updates along the way added reassurance and the "just checking in" calls months after the project was complete have been great. We know that we have made friends for life. read more

Found this company online among many other ones and I am very happy that we chose this company as our service. They are very professional and a pleasure to work with, gave a great price for a quality aquarium. We love our aquarium!!! We would definitely recommend this company to anyone that is interested to have a great aquarium in their home with beautiful corals and fish and amazing service. They also offer a service to come and take care of your little sea animals at home so they enjoy living in a clean environment. Our aquarium is not fully filled with all of the fishes and corals yet because it's a process that takes time. The fishes need to get used to their new environment and are being added to the aquarium little by little. You won't find a better company than this one! I guarantee you. read more

Oceans Aquarium Design - So beautiful! - Aquarium Services Near Me - Signal Hill, California

It is always such a pleasure to write a great review for great people and a great firm. Golan is fantastic and did a great job on a fairly-involved project that involved him designing a steel-frame on which the aquarium could be built and then the equipment underneath it. He did a great job coordinating my 180 gallon tank's installation and then paid very close attention to the "ramp-up" for the aquarium. The service has also been great, consistent and attentive. At all times professional and competent, I'd hire Golan again in a heartbeat for a nice installation in the office (like mine) or at home. What a great point of visual interest - the compliments keep coming! read more

Oceans Aquarium Design - Nice installation in a tight spot! - Aquarium Services Near Me - Signal Hill, California

The best thing I did in 2019 to our home was hire Oceans Aquarium to complete a job that was in the process since 2017. Golan is absolutely extraordinary when it comes to vision and creativity. We discussed options especially are want and needs. Something to always consider is the longevity of your tank. These marine animals bring so much life to our home that we take the maintenance very serious. The followup now that it has been installed is amazing as well. We enjoy our tank so much that we are trying to figure out a second one in our home. Thank you Golan and everyone with Oceans Aquarium for bring a piece of the ocean into our home and into our hearts. read more

I am grateful to have found Golan and Oceans Aquarium Design to build and maintain my very first saltwater tank. My beautiful 110 gallon tank was custom made out of natural pine wood and light weight acrylic. It's colors from the different live corals and shells are dazzling and joyful to the eye and peaceful to the soul. It was assembled with precision and in no time using the most advanced equipment such as bio-filter, slimmer and live sand, and my tank was ready within just three days to receive its first inhabitant. Golan is friendly, very knowledgeable on aquarium and fish species, highly professional, patient and detail oriented and absolutely wonderful to work with. All of his services provided are of the highest standards. I highly recommend him and his company. read more

I have had my salt-water tank for 5 years and was not happy with the results from my previous maintenance provider. Thus, I went to Yelp and found the great reviews on Oceans Aquarium and decided to give them a try. Golan went out of his way to accommodate my busy schedule. He arrived on time, cleaned the tank spotless and provided a couple of suggestions that improved the health of my fish. This is the best my tank has ever looked and I notice a definite improvement in my fish. Golan is extremely knowledgeable and immaculate. He left my house cleaner than when he arrived. I highly recommend Golan. read more

The fish in our aquarium had Ich, and it had gotten pretty bad. We were freaking out and called multiple aquarium services. Some were not experienced enough to deal with reef, and others never called back, made appointments but never showed, or couldn't make it same day. Golan showed up within 30 minutes, just as he promised, and explained in the nicest way possible to us exactly what was going on, the mistakes we had made, and the options to solve the problem. He was incredibly nice, helpful, educated, informative, and efficient in solving our problem! Now our fish look much healthier and happier, and we are too! read more

This is an amazing company to trust your salt water fish with. Very honest, very fair priced and will go above and beyond to do an excellent job. So excited that they will be doing routine Maintence for me now that my schedule doesn't allow it. I can't wait for the day comes that I can get a custom tank because the custom jobs they post on Instagram are amazing! Just want to add to my review. They came out and installed my LED light today and omg my tank looks so amazing now. And the price was so very fair. I couldn't even find leds to fit my budget, but they sold me a set that was very fairly priced. It's been a dream of mine to have leds on my standard fish tank for years since leds came out and that dream came true today. Of course leds for reef tanks are more expensive but I just needed standard ones. Which I didn't even know existed till now as all the fish stores over the years have been trying to up sell me knowing I was on a budget. I'm beyond thrilled and my little babies are now so happy! Can't wait till our next service! Thank you so much! You guys are beyond awesome! read more

Based on Oceans' consistently excellent Yelp reviews, we had high expectations for Golan's service. Our 30 gallon salt water aquarium suffered from serious neglect; I was concerned that the years'-old hoses would rupture inundating the bedroom the tank occupies. Golan assuaged my fears, recommending a standard service call to bring the tank up to spec. In short order, he got the water changed and calibrated, replaced filters and banished the algae, restoring the circulation that had nearly stopped due to the build-up of detritus in the system. Golan is a meticulous technician, leaving the job site in better condition than he found it. Oceans Aquarium deserves its glowing reviews...to which it may add this one. read more

Where do I start!!! After so many aquarium companies promising the world at first but after a visit they would never followup for maintenance. I became so frustrated because like anyone who loves pets wants nothing but the best for theirs. My regular Maitenance company dropped the ball and I looked on yelp and saw Golans company and his mission statement and the great reviews and I reached out! Golan came to the rescue the same day I called and made everything great for the aquarium! I'm so pleased to meet someone so enthusiastic about their work as Golan is!! Thank you for going to extra mile. read more

They have even come out for us on items we thought were emergency's. I highly recommend their service! read more

This is my second tank that I got from Golan. He is very professional and got a great team that clean my tank. I also recommended him to a few of my friends that purchased a tank from him.

I'm adding pictures and I am very proud of my tank. read more

I just used this service for the first time, after having a not so great recent history of bad customer store service/experience...and I have to say this is by far the best experience and results I have received to date. Not only was the service punctual, clear on what I was paying for before the service, resourceful and super helpful, the results literally spoke for themselves and turned around what was a soon to be crashing tank, to a pristine, quiet, beautiful tank. I recommend this to anyone who needs aquarium service - I have had tanks for over 7 years now and used several service providers, and this is by far the best you will get. read more

Oceans Aquarium Design - No fish yet but still looks so amazing - Aquarium Services Near Me - Signal Hill, California

First Ive been a client of ocean aquarium for many years now I Golan to help with the design of 2 new tanks, one fresh water & one salt water. The transfer was successful of my freshwater fish even though he only deals with salt water & reef tanks. They did it for me anyway, but failed to complete the install by leaving the glass lid off tank but had already placed the canopy on the tank. So as i lift up the canopy spores of mold have formed all along inner part of the canopy, resulting in the laminate parts peeling and falling into my tank. I had expressed my concern with Golan and he stated that "it was sensitive and that he tried to meet with me 3 times " although he never once mentioned this via text or voicemail!!!! He even had a chance to say something when he picked up a check. So the 2nd tank was on back order so I tried to cancel it but he said I could not and then he drops off the tank on a Sunday at 9am and and tells me to find someone else to set it up. I am shocked and hurt that he would treat me this way and advise anyone to think twice before doing any business with this company.He also failed to give me back my fish that he was holding for me once the tanks was going to be set up ...... Bad for business read more

If I could give Golan 10 stars I would. The service thus far has been exceptional!!!! Not only am I having my aquarium serviced but I am gaining an education as well. Golan takes his time and answers the million questions I seem to have on each visit. The coral and fish that I have bought through Golan have been healthy and disease-free. The peace of mind of having Golan quarantine them before anything goes in my tank is hard to put a price on. If you've ever had to battle a disease or parasite from something you picked up at a store you'll know what I'm talking about. Golan has been more than accommodating to my schedule which can change from week to week. Golan has earned a loyal customer and a friend. I would recommend him in a second! read more
