Beach Cities Aquatics

You cannot get better than Ryan at Beach City Aquatics.
I left my former pond company OC Pond and Fountain Service (see my review — horrible) and was absolutely blessed to find Ryan. From day 1 he was incredibly responsive, patient, talented, reliable, professional, personable and a true expert.
Here is an example of his genuine love for the fish and ponds he cares for:
I was out of town and had breaker issues causing many fish to die. I texted Ryan who came out and helped save what he could. The ones who needed emergency attention he took to his own home hospital tank and rehabilitated. He returned them as they were healthy and just returned one last week after caring for him/​her for a year!
My pond has never been consistently clear and gorgeous like it is now. He is meticulous with cleaning, including vacuuming the pond routinely and cleaning every layer of every filter. He’s not asking me to purchase crap I don’t need and he leaves little reminder notes when I feed the little guys a «tad» too much. He is very reasonably priced and never misses a beat. I trust him more than anyone I’ve ever worked with for anything in or around my home. If my fish could have a godfather I would elect him :-)
You can’t go wrong. And I am OCD about my fish. My only regret is I’m often on conference calls when he comes by and I can’t go say hi… And that it took me forever to write this well deserved and far too delayed review. Thanks Ryan!

Ryan cares for my koi pond. I’ve found his service to be excellent. Given his background working at the Long Beach Aquarium, he is very knowledgeable about fish. He is conscientious about his work, professional in his manner, on-​time for scheduled appointments and fair in his prices. Very importantly, he has been a gentleman in all my dealings with him. I am a very satisfied customer and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
