Fantastic experience with Aquatic Dreams. You can immediately tell how much he genuinely cares about the fish and takes pride in what he does. He’s a real pro, incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and thoughtful about creating a healthy environment for the fish. He brought over some beautiful new fish and fresh live vegetation and completely transformed the tank. Everything was handled with real care and attention. It’s rare to find someone who clearly loves the animals as much as the work itself. Highly recommend.

Yuri was great. He thoroughly deep cleaned my aquarium. His communication was great and was punctual. He's very knowledgeable and provided good advice. Will definitely use his services again.
Yuri has totally changed my aquarium for the better. After my goldfish died I didn’t know what to do with my 20 gallon tank. He was super responsive to my questions, offered to decorate, clean, service, and add new fish for the tank to make it a tropical ecosystem. Totally in love with the new look and tank buddies!
Yuri did a awesome job ! The aquarium needed a lot of work and he was able to bring it back to life. He was very professional and punctual It was a pleasure doing business with him . I would definitely recommend him.
I had such an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with the results! My aquarium went from looking cloudy, dull, and unbalanced to completely refreshed, crystal clear, and beautifully designed. The before and after difference is honestly insane. Before, the tank looked murky and kind of thrown together — now it looks like a professional, clean, and vibrant setup you’d see in a high-end space. The rock placement, layout, and overall aesthetic completely transformed the entire tank. You can tell there’s real knowledge and care behind the work. Not only does it look amazing, but my fish are clearly happier and more active in their environment. The water clarity alone is a huge upgrade. Super professional, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. If you want your tank done right and actually see a real transformation, I highly recommend. I’ll definitely be using them again!
So here's my story I googled aquarium pro to set up my 29 gal aquarium left my info this service responded within hours to show up that day(I wasn't expecting that)😂So we scheduled for the following day my tech Uri keep me up through msgs when he would arrive and actually showed up exactly at that time👍Bro came in and went straight to work set my tank up schooled me how to maintain and ideas how to stock it very knowledgeable and would highly recommend him personally!!! Oh I forgot to mention Bro was under the weather🤢 and still had three more jobs to go!! Thanks Uri!!!
Yuri is the best! My aquarium looks like a whole new aquarium. He took time and care with the service he provided. I felt like I was in great hands. He also gave me guidance and advice of how to care for my fish tank after he leaves. I would highly recommend him to others.
Aside from being rude from destroying my bathroom that was not dirty in any capacity... He sent over 4 voice memos about his personal life that was very uncomfortable, over charged from his original qoute, did not remove the fish I asked to be removed, left 2 dead fish on my bathroom counter, and proceeded to harass other customers while in my home. Please steer away from this person. Reach out if you want proof of his voice memos and further destruction after his vist. The most unprofessional person I have unfortunately met.
I highly recommend. Yuri has been servicing our tank for a year. We had 6 convict cichlids and a sucker fish before he was able to source some amazing healthy electric yellow cichlids that have grown beautifully. I love the way he arranges plants and rocks as well as it elevates the look of the aquarium. We keep filters in stock usually but on the days we lapse he cleans them out for us and it gets the job done until we can replace ourselves or he drops by again. When we asked him for some more variety he checked and advised us from buying at that time because the availability seemed less than healthy and I appreciated the honesty. There was one time we went away on vacation and came home to find our fish were not cared for as we expected and at some point our compressor failed, I was so concerned about them but Yuri did an amazing job responding right away (although it was in the evening when we arrived) of what to do and what to expect and sure as he said they are still alive and well. He usually sends a message asking for availability so he can take care of service areas at the same time but I feel he is so worth it and his prices are fair especially after considering my limited time to do the job ( and as well as he does) while I still get to enjoy the beauty of my tank. Its embarrassing to post before pictures but I think the afters make up for it.
This company is a complete scam. A guy by the name of Yuri was coming to “service” my tank monthly charging on average $120 each time. My fish started dying and when my husband finally decided to open the filters to figure out what was wrong, we discovered that neither of the filters had been cleaned in MONTHS!!! This guy had been coming to my house for SEVEN months consistently and doing absolutely nothing to my fish tank yet charging $120 sometimes more per visit. Honestly it’s disgusting how someone can do this. I sent the attached photo to him and never heard back from him.
