About
Aquarium Network in Bellmore, New York, isn't your typical fish store — it's a full-service aquarium company that has quietly built a fiercely loyal following on Long Island over more than two decades. Led by Mike, Ralph, and their crew of technicians, the team specializes in designing, installing, and maintaining saltwater and freshwater aquariums ranging from modest setups to jaw-dropping 300-gallon reef systems. The reviews paint a picture of a company that treats every tank like it's their own.
One customer describes a flawless 240-gallon reef installation that became the centerpiece of their home. Another recounts how the team installed a 210-gallon saltwater aquarium with meticulous, detail-oriented precision. A particularly memorable story involves a customer who needed an emergency pump replacement for a 300-gallon system — the Aquarium Network crew analyzed photos sent via email, pre-assembled the pump with plumbing attached, and had everything ready for pickup.
That kind of problem-solving defines the operation. Maintenance is the backbone of their business. Multiple clients report weekly or monthly service spanning tank cleaning, water changes, and water testing.
One longtime customer has fish over 10 years old, a testament to the consistent quality of care. Another maintains two 72-gallon saltwater tanks stocked with Great South Bay fish, kept in perfect condition through weekly visits. The team also services institutional clients — senior residences, rehab centers, and organizations like SoundWaters have relied on them for years.
What sets Aquarium Network apart is their responsiveness. Customers describe emergency calls answered promptly, doors opened on Christmas Eve, and a genuine willingness to go beyond the service agreement. They consult on equipment selection, advise on livestock stocking, and provide ongoing guidance that saves hobbyists time and money.
For anyone on Long Island looking for a dedicated partner to install or maintain a saltwater reef or freshwater aquarium, Aquarium Network has the track record — measured in decades, not months — to back up every promise.

— Adam Bogin5.04 years ago“Outstanding all around! Needed a pump in a flash for my 300 gallon aquarium. I found Aquarium Network online and called. I tried to explain my setup but was failing so they offered to look at a picture sent trough email. They analyzed the picture and set me up with a new pump with plumbing attached. When I arrived they had it all set up and explained exactly what I had to do to have it attach successfully. It worked out perfectly and my fish appreciate it!! Thank you guys for coming through on all fronts!!!! I believe I just found my new aquarium shop!!!”
