Owner Myk has spent nearly two decades building a reputation as one of southern New Hampshire's most trusted reef specialists, and his team — including standout employees Becca and Jarrett — delivers a level of personalized care that big-box stores simply can't match. The heart of the operation is saltwater. Myk has designed and installed systems ranging from modest home setups to ambitious 400-gallon basement reef builds, handling everything from conception to plumbing to livestock selection. Customers rave about picking up quarantined clownfish, montipora frags, and branching hammer coral colonies — all conditioned and healthy before they ever leave the shop. The quarantine protocol is a recurring theme in reviews: you pay a bit more, but the livestock arrives tank-ready, which saves heartache and money down the line. Service is arguably the backbone of the business. Jarrett handles biweekly maintenance on clients' mixed reef tanks across the region, and the team has moved heavy tanks out of basements, stayed open late to provide emergency frog medication, and coordinated 375-gallon fish-only builds from scratch. Their maintenance clients include 150-gallon and 160-gallon reef systems that have been thriving for years under Blue Light's care. The shop itself is small — multiple reviewers describe it as a hole-in-the-wall — and calling ahead before visiting is recommended. Don't expect a polished retail showroom. Do expect someone who can diagnose your water chemistry issues on the spot, source specific fish on request, and talk reef compatibility with genuine enthusiasm. Freshwater tanks are available too, though the coral and reef side clearly dominates the inventory and expertise. For anyone running a saltwater system in the Brookline area or broader southern New Hampshire, Blue Light Aquatics offers the rare combination of custom tank building, reliable ongoing maintenance, and carefully quarantined livestock — all backed by a crew that treats your tank like their own. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater, Saltwater - **Livestock & Products**: Corals, Reef, Clownfish, Live Rock, Aquarium Equipment - **Services**: Tank Maintenance, Tank Setup, Custom Tanks, Tank Cleaning, Water Testing, Quarantine, Consultation, Delivery - **Known For**: Reptiles & Amphibians, Premium Equipment, Knowledgeable Staff, Healthy Fish ## Highlights - All fish and corals quarantined before sale for healthier livestock - Custom tank design and installation up to 400+ gallon systems - Biweekly tank maintenance service with dedicated technicians like Jarrett - Strong coral selection including montipora, branching hammer, and clownfish - Family-run shop with nearly 20 years of saltwater expertise ## Customer Reviews **"M V"** - 5/5 - 6 months ago > Expert experienced fish wizard ! Mike is so knowledgeable and helpful. Seemingly able to answer any question about home tank desires or needs ! From conception to implementation he and his team made our 125 gallon home reef tank a happy bit of ocean in our home. Thanks for the high standards and ethical sustainable approach to the hobby! **"Joe Callesano"** - 4/5 - Edited 8 months ago > I am not sure how to rate this place. We went there because I think it's appropriate to physically visit aquarium and or Reef stores. The place needs 100% rehaul. The entire place needs to be redone and then you can have yourself a nice set up. I'm not sure what we walked into what I would not consider that a store. Sorry? Adding to this review after seeing the response. The day that we went there there was only one employee working which was a younger female, no one else was in the store. I even asked her if it was okay that we were even in there since it seemed not open for business, she said yes of course, take a look around and ask questions if you have any. We poked around, checked out the quarantine tanks and took off. I appreciate your response. **"Aaron Welch"** - 5/5 - 10 months ago > Myk and co. at Blue Light Aquatics provide excellent customer service. They were able to help me move some large and heavy tanks out of my basement which I never would have been able to do alone. All of the quarantined fish I’ve bought from them have been happy and healthy, same with corals. **"Erik Hansen"** - 5/5 - a year ago > I’ve known Myk for almost twenty years. Not only is he one of the most genuine guys out there, his knowledge of all things aquatic are not easily duplicated. He is a well respected boss to his crew and a committed aquarist to his clients. His employee Becca specifically stands out as a person with exceptional knowledge in the field. 5 out of 5 stars **"cristian caro"** - 5/5 - a year ago > Great site, quality and Michael is a great person to take care of the process definitely will come again 💯 **"Sherri Malouf"** - 5/5 - a year ago > I have been working with Myk for many years. I have a 400 g saltwater system. Myk designed, built, and installed the basement system. It is absolutely awesome. Myk is very meticulous and talented. I also have a small freshwater tank. Whatever you want to do with fish, Myk is your guy! **"Cristin Patch"** - 5/5 - a year ago > The only place to get fish! You pay a little more but the fish are quarantined and ready to go! Mike is so helpful every time we go in and very knowledgeable! We have been a few times where it’s just Becca working and she is such a delight! **"Chris Zampacorta"** - 4/5 - a year ago > Small shop. The ower is very knowledgeable about salt water aquariums. **"Amy Cremeans-Tringale"** - 5/5 - a year ago > The best in saltwater tanks around. Mike and Jarrett are so easy to work with and so knowledgeable. This is the best our tank has looked in a long time. Thank you! **"Dene V"** - 5/5 - a year ago > Very responsive and helpful. Called and did not leave a message and they not only called me back very quickly but they also were willing to stay open late to allow us to drive and get medicine for a sick frog. Super knowledgeable as well! ## Nearby Stores - [Granite State Geckos Reptile & Pet Supply Store](https://www.fishstores.org/new-hampshire/lancaster/granite-state-geckos-reptile-and-pet-supply-store) - Lancaster, NH - 5.0/5 - [The Aquarium Gallery](https://www.fishstores.org/new-hampshire/windham/the-aquarium-gallery) - Windham, NH - 5.0/5 - [Fish Mike Aquatics](https://www.fishstores.org/new-hampshire/manchester/fish-mike-aquatics) - Manchester, NH - 4.8/5 - [Jay's Aquatics](https://www.fishstores.org/new-hampshire/salem/jays-aquatics) - Salem, NH - 4.8/5 - [Laconia Pet Center](https://www.fishstores.org/new-hampshire/laconia/laconia-pet-center) - Laconia, NH - 4.8/5 - [Chester Hollow Water Gardens](https://www.fishstores.org/new-hampshire/chester/chester-hollow-water-gardens) - Chester, NH - 4.7/5 --- *Source: [FishStores.org](https://www.fishstores.org/new-hampshire/brookline/blue-light-aquatics)* *Last updated: February 7, 2026*
