This was a first time experience with John cleaning my aquarium. and it won't be the last time. He's thorough and I could sense his concern and determination to do the best he can do. John is very easy to talk to and is free with answering questions I needed to know.

I’m a newer aquarium owner and my tank is big so I had a lot of questions. John was nice, answered my questions and gave me some great recommendations for new fish. Highly recommend.

John showed up on time. He had all of his equipment with him and was ready to go. As he has been in the business for a number of years, I received some wonderful advice from him. I would recommend him most highly.
