The Premier Aquarium Design, Installation, and Maintenance Company Servicing Manhattan to Montauk Since 2003
Island Fish and Reef has been a premier aquarium design firm that has performed installations, stockings, and maintenance throughout Long Island’s commercial and residential locations for almost two decades. Our expert team specializes in all aquatic ecosystems, including freshwater, planted, saltwater, and reef. We are a well-respected business in the community, providing excellent service and care to all we serve.
We can help you if you want a new aquarium installed or need general 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.
Once a design theme and quote are approved, IFR will begin sourcing all materials necessary to make your dreams a reality. Installation will begin once all materials have been successfully sourced and inspected for quality. Comprised of a prepared and equipped team, IFR’s goal is to make the installation clean and as expedient as possible. We only select high-quality and long-lasting aquarium products and use trusted practices that have been perfected by over a decade’s worth of maintenance and installation experience. Upon installation completion, IFR team members will continue to teach the client how to work with their new system.
With the assistance of a project manager specializing in island fish and reefs, you will successfully realize your aquarium project objective of establishing a distinctive ecosystem that aligns with your vision, available space, and budget. The design and installation process will entail collaborating closely with a project manager to address all project elements, including tank size, filtration, maintenance frequency, decorations, cabinetry, glass manufacturers, fish species and compatibility, best practices, and additional considerations.
Our highly trained team sources and assembles all aquarium equipment. Upon completion of sourcing, all components are inspected for quality, and the installation begins. We select high-quality and long-lasting aquarium products so you will enjoy your aquarium for years. Rest assured, after the installation process, you will be instructed on how to work with your new system.
The Island Fish and Reef 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 with fish compatibility, coral placement,
plant care, and other requirements to help build your aquarium.
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.
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 on caring for your aquatic system.
If you plan 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 be well cared for, and your fish will stay on the current feeding schedule with no changes or interruptions.
Our team will gladly assist you if you’ve neglected your system’s maintenance. 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 simultaneously, 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.
