Customer Experiences with Our Installations

These guys are fantastic, and they know what they are doing! I purchased a Reefer MAX Peninsula 500 (my second aquarium from them). I had it delivered and installed. They did an amazing job putting it all together and hiding and organizing the cables. I recommend them 100%! Here are pictures of the new tank from day one and 30 days after.

Top Shelf is Top Notch. Built a custom tank for our needs. Jed, Alex, and all of the staff took the time to work on design, nuances that would help my disabled husband to enjoy the tank, and guide us through the process. They continue to help build our hobby and Jed teaches us about the salt water eco system.

Thank you Top Shelf.

I wanted to thank you the Top Shelf Aquatics for the excellent experience and amazing setup of my new Waterbox aquarium. The guys that came over did a wonderful job of not just setting up the tank but explaining everything in detail. I wanted you to know that I very much appreciated the entire experience and you won over a lifelong customer. Thanks!!!

I wanted to follow up on the install. Gene and DayQuel were great and a tremendous help.
I couldn't be happier with the rockscape and overall install. Gene has been great with some follow up questions. Very patient and responds immediately, which I really appreciate. I couldn't be happier with the overall experience.

Top Shelf Aquatics went above and beyond for me. From helping me pick the right tank to setting it up in my home, they were super helpful and friendly. The tank looks amazing, and I’ll definitely keep coming back to them. Highly recommend!
