Hunter at Current Tides Aquariums is extremely professional, respectful and provided excellent service! He is very efficient in communicating and took the time to answer all my questions concerning my tanks and fish.
I believe Hunter had my interests at heart and found the best plan for continued service at a very reasonable price.
The suggestions I received for my tanks are on point and I am excited to continue a long business relationship. Our pets are part of our family and I trust Current Tides Aquariums with my pets!

I've had a great experience with Current Tides Aquariums. My aquarium was very dirty, murky and overrun with a nasty algae and within a month, it was clean and clear with a great ecosystem. Hunter has alway been very knowledgeable, attentive and responsive to my aquarium's needs. Highly recommended.

Hunter helped with a bulkhead fitting inlet to the overflow box. Took 3 trips to look for the item, and we found the right piece. Installed and no more leaks. He is knowledgeable for sure. I didn't turn on my pump for 48 hours per his suggestion.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is minimum, meaning I’ll only charge what I think is fair. Certain services, such as quotes, simple guidance, and questions you have before starting, I often won’t charge on. In terms of live and drystock, I charge the lowest possible, which can vary upon the product/specimen in question. Over time, if we have a consistent and professional relationship, I’ll apply discounts in return, so long as it makes sense to. Any price I give you with definition I will never change the price on, even if it ends up costing me.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For first time clients, I first like to know a brief history of the tank, i.e what’s gone right and what’s gone wrong, what you’re striving for, and what you’ve tried. Every tank is different, so it’s extremely important to understand what it is that makes that so.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Professionally speaking, the only experience I have in this hobby is from my own work, and working at Pet Kingdom for about half a year. Much of what I learn comes from personal experience, or secondhand accounts. Anything I haven’t seen for myself I’ll pass with caution, however I’ll always give my best opinion.
