The setup took 2 visits because I'd bought the tank and equipment used, and Harold needed to modify some of it. He gave really good advice about everything from what equipment I needed (and didn't need) to how often to feed the turtle. He texted me a few times later on to see how everything was going and to make sure that I had everything I needed. I look forward to him coming back monthly to maintain the tank.

I've been using Aquatech Aquarium Service for almost a year, and I started noticing that the bills were high. It got to the point that I was paying $400 per cleaning I asked him about the cost, and he told me it was based on the supplies. I did some research, and discovered that he pads the pricing using the supplies. If something costs $10, he'll add $40 dollars to it for a total bill of $50. I told him that I knew what he was doing, and I would start buying my own supplies and I would have him do the labor. He refused. He said if I buy my own supplies he can't service my tank anymore. He cleans the tank very well, but pads the pricing with the supplies. He's very methodical and cleans the tank well. If you're not savvy you'll get drown in the cost. Today, I paid $244 for an hour and half for labor on 1 Aquarium. I had a remaining balance of $144, which the total $388.00
Response from Aquatech Aquarium Service
"[Member Name Removed], I charge pet store prices because I buy my supplies wholesale that I charge 4 times the amount is ridiculous! Read your review 4 months ago and I was servicing your tank for about 5 months before that. Your tank was a disaster when I took it over and you bought fish and dead coral from me and did not have the money too pay me and it took you months too catch up. You have a fish tank and can not afford to service it that is the bottom line! I refused too service your tank anymore because I drive a lot and supplies make up for the gas and once you took that away from me I replaced you with someone else it is just business!"

He totally revamped my tank. He switched out the lights and showed me what I can cut down on the algae. He charges by the hour so that really helps out. He also purchases the fish and guarantees them for 30 days, which no one else does. He's a really cool guy.

Hal is PASSIONATE about tropical fish.  He's knowledgeable and is concerned for the welfare of the little finny critters that give us so much pleasure.  He completely revamped my 26-gallon tank, from the gravel to the heater to the plants, then he brought in the fish.  Lots of them.  He made sure they were compatible with my few existing critters and now I can sit and watch this new community scarf up their goodies and frolic amidst the fronds.  Even though we have a monthly schedule, he came in between a few times to make sure they were healthy and to bring more livestock that had not made it.  He guarantees the fish; works quickly and leaves everything clean and tidy.
If you want to just enjoy you aquarium, call Hal.

Harold is the best!  After months of issues with the salt water fish tank and hundreds of dollars of dead fish, I found Harold on Angie's list.  He knows his stuff and truly cares about my fish tank.  He has done a fabulous job decorating it and picking fish that are both colorful and lively.  With his monthly service, I hardly have to do anything except feed the fish.....

You cannot go wrong with Harold!

Harold is very dependable and knowledgeable about all the fish he provides. He has a great 30 day policy about bringing any new fish and calls to make sure that the fish are doing well. I love how he gives the rooms that the aquariums are in such wonderful color with the variety of fish he brings.  We have developed a great working relationship and he gets along with all the staff. When we moved offices he was available to make help us move both fish tanks. I would definitely recommend his services to any person interested in buying aquariums for their home or office.

Harold has serviced our aquariums for the past 20 years!  From setting up brand new tanks to regular monthly service - he is the best in the industry!  We've had two aquariums in our office and two very large aquariums in our home, including a reef tank.  Harold has kept our tanks and our fish alive and healthy for years and years.  Always a gentlemen and always reliable!  Most importantly - he really knows his stuff.  We used other companies before him and NO ONE else knows how to take care of fish and fish tanks like Harold.  I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a true showcase of an aquarium.

Harold is great!  He has been working with us for more than 9 months now.  He provides the perfect package for a busy family that loves their aquarium.  
He is scheduled to come on a  monthly basis at which time he does a water change, filter change, cleans the tank of any algae, replacing dirty coral with clean coral if necessary, etc.  He also supplies the fish with a 30-day guarantee, supplies the fish food and has 24-hour emergency service.
 
Harold is extremely knowledgable, reliable and reasonable for the services he provides.  We are fortunate to have found him!  :)

Harold has been taking care of my koi pond for the last 12 years -- ever since I have bought my house.  When my gardener foolishly sprayed the front yard for white flies, and came home from work and saw a giant dead koi floating on top of the water (at 7pm_-- I called Harold.  He was there in 20 minutes, removed all the koi, drained and scrubbed the pond, re-filled it, and saved all the other fish.  Amazing.! Another time, the pump stopped working -- Harold was there on a dime to fix it.  While I was on vacation, the pond started leaking -- the water was going down to nearly nothing.  Harold was there in moments, fixed the pipe, refilled the pond, and once again saved the 15 giant koi. I've never had a service man so devoted to his customers and willing to resolve any emergency at any time of the day or night -- even on holidays!  He is just wonderful!

Harrold has handled our salt water aquarium needs for many years and always done a first class job. He has gotten us fish that are quite spectacular. He trained a man working for me to do some of the cleaning work and he supports his efforts by cleaning the alternate sets of coral and providing the best fish food, etc. He also helps our man solve any equipment problems. He is truly an expert in his field.

Harold (Aquatech) comes every month to maintain my fish tank, which is a 40 gallon freshwater tank. He has been taking care of my tank since 1999 or 2000. He can be in my house alone, because he is extremely professional and trustworthy. When I upgraded my tank years ago, he helped me pick the new tank and what it needed to operate at optimal level. I have moved twice over the years, and he came to move the tank and make sure the fish did not get too stressed. I have had great success with my fish and if ever anything goes wrong, I know Harold is just a phone call away.
