    I called Ryan for a consultation for my newly renovated business. His consultation was clear cut, precise and to the point. I cannot wait for his crew to come install the tank and stock up with living coral and fish!!!

    Ryan is a great and knowledgeable guy. He is not only a business owner, he is a truly passionate hobbyist who cares about the success of your fish tank. I will definitely be buying from him in the future

    I highly recommend Ryan and his crew for saltwater fish and maintenance of your tank. He set me up with a beautiful tank. He quarantines his fish before introducing them into your tank. I told him the fish I wanted and he went and got the fish for me. Prices are fair for the service being provided. Not a bad word to say about Ryan and his company

    Stopped in with some general questions about getting into a saltwater tank with coral. Extremely nice and genuine people the information I obtained was amazing. Will 100% be back to purchase any equipment I need! I wish I knew more about the stock they carried but it’s packed and loaded with amazing specimens I highly recommend stopping in.

    The guys at Island fish and Scale really came through for me. They moved my hundred gallon marine aquarium to my new home. They were fast and efficient and showed up on time. They took all of the stress out of something that can be potentially. Very stressfull. I’m very grateful and my fish are so happy and their new home.

    I had them move my 60 cube reef tank to my new place, this setup has a full apex install with lots of automation, code, dosers, etc. Ryan and his team did an amazing job and clearly do this kind of work all day long. Everything was done professionally and accurately, no mess left behind, and no damage done. Everything was cabled and setup as it was at my old location. They even offered to take one of my problem fish and re home it during the move. Would not hesitate to work with them again!

    Had a bad aptasia problem. I have wrasses so could contact get beghia nudibranch, tried to use a ora filefish but that just destroyed my Rock anemones and took out a couple of my torches ( one green torch and one beautiful 4 headed Aussie gold torch). Finally tried peppermint shrimp but still no joy. Then I started hearing of people keeping copper band butterfly fish in reef tanks. I had heard that the ones from Aus are less likely to eat corals. So for a pair from a local LFS. Initially they both ate in the QT but then I lost one and then the other. At this stage my DT had aptasia everywhere ( I tried aptasia X as well as f-aptasia, both seemed to just make matters worse). So my coral guy told me of Ryan. He had 2 copper bands that were feeding well and were past QT. They were expensive initially but you have to remember that these were clean fish, could go straight into the DT. Went to pick up the fish and was amazed at the facility in Long Island. Fish were in pristine tanks with no dirt anywhere. I toured the full QT process and it was impressive! Found out that in some batches only 40% of fishes make it through QT. So finally got to my fish, we tried feeding and they ate. So paid and took them. Felt strange to put fish straight into my DT. But I did. One CBB went to my friend and he saw it eat straight away. Mine seemed not to eat so I texted Ryan. He promptly responded to try mysis shrimp. I tried that and to my reliefs CBB started eating. Since then the CBB has been eating like a champ! 2 weeks in, I started to notice that my aptasia was disappearing, first the small ones and then eventually they all disappeared. The CBB now even holds its own with other fish while eating (I have some big tangs, sail fin as well as hippo tangs). Amazing that I got fish that are supposed to be difficult to QT, and they did their job. Really felt that Ryan was only a call away. I ended up asking about some other new fish I had got before I got to know Ryan and he even helped on that. He is my go to fish guy now!!

    Great people who own the place. Awesome selection of corals and fish.

  • 5/5 Brian T. 2 years ago on Google
    Just had my tank moved by Ryan at Island Fish and Scale and I couldnt be happier with the result. They were fast, and paid attention to detail. The floor of the house is off level (pretty bad actually) and they properly leveled the tank, wiped down all the salt creep in the sump, and even rinsed the dust filter screens on my AI primes. All of my equipment looks brand new again. Couldnt recommend them enough for anyone looking for a tank move. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

    Don't let the size fool you from the picture they have a little bit of everything, and the super plus side of it is the great help and knowledge they offer, very patient with my question and try to guide me definitely will be making more business with them.

  • 5/5 Jenson C. 3 years ago on Google
    Place is incredible for such a small space. The fish are held for weeks and go through copper treatments to get then tank ready. Highly recommend overall.
