What can I say about Marine Concepts. A great job clean, efficient and thorough. They are truly the best I have ever encountered. We cut out stairs to fit a tank that did not fit. (500 gallon tank) Not one scratch on the walls nor the floors. I can go on and on, but all I have to say is they are on their game. Dave the owner was creative with getting my oversized tank into the basement. Here’s a few pics.. Thank you Dave and the Marine Concepts team with all your help today. Can’t wait to see the rest!!

So happy to have Dave and Sergio back taking care of our tanks. After over a year absence, the tanks have never looked better. Tried going a different direction for the past year and the tanks never looked right. Corals looked bad and tank looked boring and just existing. Something was missing. That something, was Marine Concepts. Dave and Sergio can in and spent their time on all 3 of our tanks. Almost instantly, the tanks looked better. More color, depth, and I feel the fish are happier. Like watching an old movie compared to 4K quality. The fish are more active, the corals are brighter, and the Anemone's came back to life with fullness and color. This is exactly what I was looking for and also complaining about to the previous service. Dave takes ownership in how the tanks look, and how the fish thrive. His follow up is incredible. They do weekly checks in on the tanks and also to see if I have any questions. Hands down, the best service and knowledge around. I have now just taken a hands off approach and told them to just make it look cool and relaxing. I have complete trust in Marine Concepts. But most importantly in Dave and Sergio. And as a bonus, go check out the retail store. Incredible. And if you are lucky enough, you will be there when the shipments come in. It's better that Christmas morning for a kid. Cannot recommend these guys more. If you are thinking of another place to go, save yourself the trip and get to Marine Concepts. The tanks continue to flourish and look fantastic everyday. The tanks are happy, which make me happy. Do not hesitate to trust them with your tank and fish needs.

Dave and his associate were great! Soon after I filled out their inquiry form, Dave called to get the rest of the details on our project. He was able to quickly get me an accurate estimate for the parts and service I needed to install my new 180 gallon reef tank. They had the aquarium set in place and working in just a few hours. The entire setup is perfectly plumbed with solid pvc. All of the parts they brought, including heater, skimmer, sump, and return pump - are great quality. They added the water, live sand and rock that made for a beautiful seascape. Dave even made a housecall the following day to help quiet the overlflows. Having Marine Concepts do this work on one of my favorite investments in my home was a great choice. We highly recommend giving them a call if you are ever considering investing in a nice aquarium or just need maintenance on your existing tank. I only wish I had found them sooner!

We have been using Dave for years and he does the best job. We get many compliments weekly about our fish tank. The aquarium is a hit amongst our guests, highly recommended.

Dave helped with our small saltwater tank setup every step of the way. I could tell he knows what he's doing, and he was always professional and punctual. I would not hesitate to hire him again. His store is also very nice!

The owner, Dave Robinson is a true asset to my reef keeping adventures for sure. I have Dave in speed dial and he answers when I need him, which is almost always at the least opportune times. Dave’s list of clients speaks for it self, and if he does not have an immediate answer, he works behind the scenes to get it solved.

David and Marine Concepts is fantastic. Our tank was in need of an overhaul and David was responsive, professional and did a great job making sure our system had the updates it needed. It is still a work in progress but we look forward to continued work with Marine Concepts as we continue to bring our tank back to life. Highly recommend!

These guys are the real deal. David and his team were hired to move a tank into a small Chicago apartment, they accomplished this with professionalism and care. These aquarium moves can be a very stressful time, but Marine Concepts made it so easy. Highly recommend!

Highly personable, friendly, courteous and experienced. Our fish are family, when we decided to move to a new home, we wanted a reputable, full service company to take on the responsibility to ensure safe travels for our aquatic friends; David delivered on this promise by minimizing stress to the fish, and respectively completing the tear down/ setup of our tank. We couldn’t thank them enough for their care and efficiency!

Dave Robison the owner of Marine concept is awesome, very friendly and caring person. He is very knowledgeable and through in his work. I have known Dave for almost 10 years and I will be lost without his help in maintaining my fish tank at my home. Everyone likes the fish tank and the fishes in the tank. - Pete

Marine Concepts and Dave are great to work with. He is careful around the tank, learns your setup and how your specific tank works and then does everything he can to make it better! He is easy to get a hold of and is great at communication the status of your tank and the work he is doing. I am very happy to have him maintenance my tank when life gets busy!

If you care about your aquarium, Dave and Marine Concepts are the people you need to hire. Our aquarium is incredible and it is all due to Marine Concepts. The best!

Marine Concepts is the best. They opened a shop in Wheeling and have a great assortment of marine fish and corals. They also have fresh water fish and supplies. I just bought this complete tank set up and they did the install the other day. I can’t wait until I can start stocking it up. Give these guys a try!!

I have been using Dave from Marine Concepts to service my reef tank for years. Dave has been a reliable, afordable and knowledgeable resource, His valuable service has kept me a happy customer in the reefing hobby. Now that he has an awesome store with amazing corals, fish and supplies, Marine Concepts truly is the total package. I would highly recommend his service and retail store to beginning to advanced hobbyist.

Dave and his team are by far the best in the Saltwater industry. The setups they do are absolutely EPIC. Not only do they do phenomenal setups but are always on top of everything when it comes to service. His fish are also top quality and has an amazing showroom to visit. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If you are looking for a top notch fish and aquarium expert, Dave is your guy! He is professional, knowledgeable and highly customer focused. He is dedicated to making sure his customers are satisfied and goes above and beyond. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the new store. His fish and coral selection was was very impressive!

If you enjoy large complex aquariums, there is no better than Dave at Marine Concepts. Having used several others in the past, Dave is consistent, knowledgeable, fair, hardworking and more importantly a quality person. I have several large aquariums that Dave has work to see through my visions. I highly recommend him.

Dave is one of those people who truly cares about their customers. His patience and knowledge are second to none. We purchased a small aquarium from him a few weeks ago, days later we called him for a few tips to find out that we were overfeeding. He touches base with me every now in then to check in and see how the fish are doing. A truly incredible company run by a very exceptional person.
