We are a well-respected business in the community, providing excellent service and care to all we serve.
We can help you if you are looking to have a new aquarium installed or simply need general aquarium supplies. For more than 18 years, we’ve been in business at our Bohemia location, selling aquariums and their special inhabitants. We are a fully licensed and insured aquarium business offering competitive pricing and plans.
Island Fish and Reef handles aquarium maintenance, design, installation, and life support systems. We provide our clients with a professional level of care for all aquatic shapes and sizes. In addition to being an aquarium builder, our dedicated team of knowledgeable aquarists provides and maintains quality service for your unique aquarium at your home or office.
With help from an Island Fish and Reef project manager, you will achieve your aquarium project goal of creating a unique ecosystem that best fits your vision, space, and budget. The design and installation process will involve working closely with a project manager to discuss all aspects of the project, from tank size, filtration, maintenance frequency, decorations, cabinetry, glass manufacturers, fish species and compatibility, best practices, and more.
Our highly trained team sources and assembles all aquarium equipment. Upon completion of sourcing, all components are inspected for quality, and the installation process begins. We select high-quality and long-lasting aquarium products so you will enjoy your aquarium for years to come. Rest assured, after the installation process, you will be instructed on how to work with your new system.
Our fleet of service vehicles operates seven days a week. Every team member is qualified to maintain all systems. Maintenance includes water testing, algae scrubbing, water amendments, filter material changes, inhabitant and equipment inspections, feeding when needed, and light equipment cleaning.
The Island Fish and Reef’s fully equipped quarantine and holding facility ensures the highest quality and health of all animals in our care. You will receive a detailed plan to meet your aquarium goals, ensuring compatibility with your system’s existing fish. Our techs are experts in fish compatibility, coral placement, plant care, and other requirements to help build your aquarium.
Island Fish and Reef professionals quarantine every fish they acquire, and corals are dipped and observed before they enter any reef system. This separate aquarium temporarily holds newly purchased fish, allowing the team to closely monitor their health, administer necessary treatments, and prevent the spreading of healthy fish. We also offer local concierge services to help you select your new additions, packaging and delivery to your aquarium, acclimation and placement and a lesson to care for your aquatic system.
If you’re planning to be out of town for vacation or business, we will create a schedule of visits to your home or office on Long Island to monitor, feed, and maintain your aquarium while you are away. You can enjoy your vacation knowing that your aquatic system will not only be well cared for, but your fish will stay on the current feeding schedule with no changes or interruptions.
If you’ve neglected your system’s maintenance for any reason, our team is happy to assist you. We specialize in tank rehabilitation and will restore your tank to its full potential. Allow the Island Fish and Reef professionals to efficiently and quickly help return the tank to looking presentable.
If you think moving is stressful, imagine what it can do to your fish. We can move all parts of your aquarium at once, and your system will be fully functional at your new location. We strive to keep the water properly heated and oxygenated so the fish will be less stressed by the move.
