Who we are
Local specialists, not a franchise
Island Aquariums is a Long Island company built around one idea: aquatic spaces should thrive, not just survive. Since 2024, we’ve designed, built, restored, and maintained ponds, aquariums, and living habitats across the island.
Whether you inherited a pond with your new home or want a centerpiece aquarium designed from scratch, you work with the same people from first visit to ongoing care.
- Based on Long Island — we come to you
- One point of contact from design through maintenance
- Ponds, aquariums, terrariums, and paludariums under one roof
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about service area, pricing, and what we take on.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all of Long Island, NY — Nassau and Suffolk counties. Wherever you are on the island, we come to you for the consultation, the installation, and the ongoing care.
Do you charge for consultations?
No — consultations are always free. We’ll look at your space and talk through options before anything is scheduled.
What services do you offer?
We offer three core services: pond restoration and maintenance, custom aquarium design and care, and custom habitats like terrariums and paludariums. One team handles design, installation, and ongoing maintenance for all three.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing is consultation-based, so it depends on the scope of your project — most work runs from around $100 into the thousands. The consultation itself is always free, so there’s no cost to get a real number for your space.
Can you restore a neglected or inherited pond?
Yes — restoring neglected or inherited ponds is one of our most common projects. We drain, clean, rebalance, and restock, then set up a maintenance plan to keep it healthy going forward.
How often does a pond or aquarium need professional maintenance?
It depends on the system — size, stocking, plants, and equipment all matter. We tailor a maintenance schedule to your setup during the free consultation.
Do you maintain tanks and ponds you didn’t build?
Yes — much of our work is restoring and maintaining ponds and aquariums other people built or previous owners left behind.
Do you build habitats for animals other than fish?
Yes — we design and build custom habitats for animals beyond fish, including axolotls, turtles, and other reptiles, plus terrariums and paludariums.
