Aquarium Service & Maintenance in New York City

Manhattan Aquariums has been designing, installing and servicing aquariums in New York City for over 15 years.


Aquarium Maintenance Services

Our aquarium maintenance service technicians work throughout the New York City and surrounding areas. We will monitor water chemistry, fish and invertebrate health - while performing a thorough white glove aquarium cleaning service. We do the dirty work like clean and maintain the delicate filtration systems so you can sit back and simply enjoy your tank.

Aquarium Design Consultation

Our design team will work to give you an aquarium that while functional, will also be the focus piece in your home or business. We design and build custom aquariums of all shapes and sizes. No project is too big or too small.

Aquarium Installations

Our professional installation team can do it all. We have been doing this for 17 years in New York City. We worked with designers and architects, and have installed aquariums in a wide range of home, business, museums, schools, colleges, and hospitals - each with its own set of challenges and characteristics. From silent equipment, automated feeding and filtration, programming to plumbing - we bring a wide range of skills, experience, and expertise to the project.



Caring for your freshwater or planted aquarium is both an art and a science - With the right technique and a creative eye, you can enjoy the rewards of a beautifully sculpted underwater garden. Freshwater aquariums are the go-to for many of our customers. Freshwater fish are hardier than their saltwater brethren - they present their own unique set of challenges. Freshwater aquariums are filled with lush life, giving them the appearance of a teeming garden rather than an underwater grotto. With many options to choose from, we offer consultations on many types of exotic plants, fish, shrimp and other invertebrates since 2001.


Saltwater and Reef Aquariums has always been in our DNA - Our Founder and CEO, Joseph Caparatta is one of the largest importers and distributors of rare and exotic saltwater fish and corals in the US and is widely recognized as an authority in the industry. This means we pride ourselves on designing and installing saltwater and reef aquariums that capture our customer's unique vision and style while integrating seamlessly into their home’s decor. We are the company to call to get the job done correctly the first time. We also offer a huge variety of saltwater fish, reefs, and corals at our retail store to make your tank fit with your exact expectation.

  • Tank consultation and curation
  • Equipment Setup and programming
  • Aquarium Moving and Relocation
  • Aquarium Babysitting - For those times when you are on vacation or spending the week in the Hamptons and need someone to look after your prized aquatic pets.
