Armco Aquatics in Wilmington, Delaware has built a reputation over nearly two decades as the go-to aquarium service company for homes, restaurants, medical offices, senior facilities, and childcare centers across the region. This isn't your typical fish store with rows of display tanks to browse — Armco is a full-service aquarium design, installation, and maintenance operation, and their client roster proves the model works. The company's technicians — Tyler, Peter, Connor, Dave, Frank, and Kirby among them — are the backbone of the operation.
Tyler maintains tanks at Ludwig's Grill and Oyster Bar, a senior facility, multiple doctors' offices, and long-standing residential clients, some of whom have been with Armco for 15 to 18 years. Peter has earned a reputation as a "reef keeper extraordinaire," handling everything from saltwater reef systems to a 200-gallon turtle tank with monthly decor changes. Connor services childcare centers and home aquariums, earning praise for his patience in answering questions.
Each technician brings genuine passion — reviewers consistently note that these aren't people just going through the motions. Armco handles both freshwater and saltwater setups, from planted tanks to full reef builds with corals. One long-time client at Wyman Orthodontics specifically highlights their care for a beloved pufferfish.
Installations range from restaurant showpieces that draw compliments from every guest to calming saltwater tanks in private homes. Their emergency response is remarkable — one client recalls a technician driving from Maryland on Christmas Eve to address a leaking tank. Owner Rich and service manager Andy oversee operations, while Daniel in the office keeps communication smooth.
The consistency is what stands out most: monthly visits, thorough cleanings, thoughtful fish selection, and reliable follow-through. For anyone in the Wilmington area looking to install a statement aquarium or finally get proper ongoing maintenance for an existing tank, Armco Aquatics delivers the kind of service that keeps clients loyal for a decade or more.

He makes it his duty to remember our names and greet us with a smile. Most importantly my residents genuinely enjoy his amazing work! So thank you for that Tyler -Jay

This is one of the coolest tanks I've ever seen, and always gets a sea of compliments when the guests arrive at my restaurant. I cannot express press enough the attention to detail by professional, that gives us immediate reaction when they enter to dine with us. They always express they want a tank just like this.

I have been using Armco Aquatics for 18 years, they are absolutely wonderful. My tank always is so well layed out, and most importantly, the fish are high quality, well selected for variety, and beautiful - all thanks to my current technician Tyler. He visits monthly to clean and inspect my tank. Their emergency service is also outstanding! My tank began to leak on a Christmas Eve, and the technician on call was at my house all the way from Maryland in a few hours. Daniel in the office is the most pleasant person, and is always quick to help. I highly recommend Armco to build, install, fill and maintain your tank.
