Introduction
When it comes to aquariums: I want to know what you're thinking, tell me what's on your mind. I set up, maintain and rehabilitate all sorts of aquariums, however ***I DO NOT REPAIR AQUARIUMS!*** ***PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT AQUARIUM REPAIRS!!*** What I do is all the work for you when it comes to setting up and maintaining your Fish, Shrimp, Axolotl, Turtle or one of a kind display aquarium. I help my clients with custom built aquarium installations as well as simple set ups. I sell fish but only to my service clients. I have been working with aquariums professionally since 1986 and as such I have a broad knowledge base that I draw from to help my clients as well as an actual library of reference books that I use in my work. And for the record I am constantly learning new things about aquariums. This compliments what I already know and that qualifies me to confidently give advice regarding fish and other pet health care. I have a degree in Earth Science from Queens College where I did some student teaching as part of my degree, and here is a brief list of places that I have worked at and managed over the years: Petland Discounts, Steinway St. Astoria Queens NYC Coral Aquarium, Roosevelt Avenue Jackson Heights Queens NYC A.S.P.C.A. Manhattan NYC (Volunteer) Mark's Aquarium / Jungles and Oceans , Kew Gardens Queens NYC Biscuits and Bath, Manhattan NYC Sterling Pet Supplies, Forest Hills Queens NYC East Bay Animal Clinic, Manhattan NYC Aquarium Center, Randallstown Maryland Zoo Zajac Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. I offer my clients help with purchasing and installing new aquariums, custom aquarium installations and monthly maintenance if they want, otherwise you call me when you need me. I make my money off of my knowledge, experience and my labor, not selling aquarium related products. I sell complete packages, custom installations and more. If you need something for your tank you can ask me and we can figure it out together. If you want to change things around no problem just tell me what you would like. Rehabilitating neglected or dirty tanks is one of the things I enjoy doing very much, bringing life back and adding Zazz to your aquarium is not only my work but it is my hobby as well and I enjoy what I do. I can help you get new fish but only for my maintenance clients, new aquarium set ups and rehabilitation are what I do mostly. My focus is mainly on freshwater, planted, specialty and brackish aquarium set up and maintenance. Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx are the areas that I serve. I do not repair or move aquariums, Please (!) do not repair aquariums as they will inevitably leak, just buy a new one. If you have a specific project in mind reach out and we will discuss the options as there are many. Custom built Aquarium and Pond installations, Paludariums, Vivariums and Terrariums are also possible. Discounted rate for tanks 5 gallons and under. Thanks for reading and tell me how I can help you, send me a message, tell me what's on your mind, lets make it happen!

Mark is great. He is a very nice guy. He cleans my mom’s turtle tank very well. We are both very happy with his service. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fish or turtle cleaner. My Mom’s tank has never been so clean. She had another guy before Mark that did a terrible job and I wanted to switch her to someone else and I found Mark and we’re very happy with him.

One of the most amazing people I’ve ever met — kind, professional, and truly passionate about what he does. He thought it would be a regular clean, but my tank needed way more. He ended up working for over three hours, yet still only charged me the same flat hourly rate. I was in disbelief — I didn’t think such honest, hardworking people still existed. The job he did is insane — my fish tank has never looked better. Highly recommend!

Mark was very nice to work with, responsive, and came on time. He did an amazing job with our tank that hadn't been cleaned in a very long time and is now spotless. We're looking forward to working with Mark again in the future!
