“Dietz was incredibly responsive, flexible and helpful with me moving my new Waterbox reef tank (600lbs dry!) from my garage to its new home. We even chatted about reef tank set up and some does and donts. Very knowledgeable and professional. Would definitely use his services again. Thanks!”

“It was worth every penny to have them move my 20 gallon planted tank! He took great care of my tank, plants, aquatic life and he gave me advice on how to deal with the algae problem I’ve been having. My moving day is far less stressful now that I know my aquarium has been taken care of! I would highly recommend them for aquarium relocation.”
