I’m quite pleased with the Tank Me Later experience. Justin and his crew were very professional and polite, and they got my 570 gallon acrylic tank into my home safely and on schedule, despite some tricky maneuvering they had to do along the way (navigating a staircase through bilco doors). I highly recommend them for moving large aquariums.

I had a pond leak. Justin and his crew isolated different parts of the pond to find the problem. Success!!! If I have any more issues I won’t hesitate to use Tank Me Later.

I would literally give 10 stars 🌟.. I was in a huge dilemma when my laguana filter clamp broke and water was flowing out of the canister. This was 8am in the morning where most businesses open at 9am or later. Amazon was not delivering this item until 2 days later. With a Google search and many attempts later I…

Justin even pulled off the craziest stunt to get my aerator positioned exactly where I wanted it, talk about dedication, it was "heckin" awesome! You can really tell that he cares about the quality of his work and making sure his customers are happy.
The tank is stunning and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. 10/10, I highly recommend!

I would literally give 10 stars 🌟.. I was in a huge dilemma when my laguana filter clamp broke and water was flowing out of the canister. This was 8am in the morning where most businesses open at 9am or later. Amazon was not delivering this item until 2 days later. With a Google search and many attempts later I found Justin at Tank Me Later, and I quickly told him what I needed and he truly came thru. He had the clamp and was willing to trust me enough to allow me to get the clamp and pay! Truly a life saver and such a good person to answer that phone call at 8am with professionalism and understanding and the willingness to help. I am grateful. Dont hesitate to call them with your pond neeeds, right in our own backyard in suffolk. Thank you again Justin. You gained a customer!!

I had Tank Me Later come and clean my Koi pond. From Justin to the office staff everyone has been very professional. The workers that came to clean the pond was on time and very friendly. I would highly recommend them and will have them back again

The team was so very helpful. Justin and Josh were friendly, worked quickly, neatly, and safely transported our sealife and reptiles. Five stars!!!!!!!!

Very professional, Justin and Josh made sure to keep checking in with me to make sure things were as I wanted them. They were able to relocate all my tanks, fish, and decor to my new apartment without harming anything despite making them carry everything up to the 2nd floor. They also made sure to clean up as they went and before leaving which I loved. Thank you so much Justin and Josh, I'll definitely be asking for you in the future should I need to relocate again!
