For years we wanted to get a saltwater aquarium but thought it would be too much work. Luckily, we found Reef eScape and now we have a beautiful reef aquarium and it couldn't be easier. All we have to do is feed the fish and Reef eScape does the rest. We even go away on vacation with no worries because we know the fish, live coral, shrimp and other invertebrates will be fine. In addition, watching the aquarium evolve has been a source of endless pleasure for our kids. I can honestly say they spend more time in front of the tank than they do the T.V.

I am thrilled to have found Reef eScape. I wanted to buy a new aquarium, but didn't have the time to research every aspect of tanks, stands, lighting, filtration, coral, fish, skimmers, pumps…. ugh it was all too much. Reef eScape asked all the questions, worked within my budget & space limitations and customized a system that is exactly what I wanted. Within weeks I had a living reef in my living room. Everyone that sees it is impressed. Reef eScape did all the work and I get all the credit. If you live anywhere in the DC / N. VA area and are even thinking about a fish tank, call Reef eScape, you can't go wrong.

As a newbie saltwater enthusiast; Reef escape has been a Godsend holding my hand as I work toward Reef competency. While "the other guys" say, “We can't do that” or demanded a long term contract, Phil has always said: “Sure, we can help you.” Knowledge, Experience and a can do attitude puts Reef escape far ahead of the other guys.

I am delighted with my tank and Reef eScape. I've been keeping saltwater aquaria since 1996. This was back when you started a tank with saltwater acclimated Mollies and maintained it with under gravel filters and water vacuums. Eventually I was down to one starfish and a convict blenny named Loach. I wanted more from my aquarium but didn't have the technical understanding needed to update things. Reef eScape completely renovated my aquarium. They drained the tank removed the old filtration system, under gravel filter, large grain sand bed and weak lights. These have been replaced with fine white sand, powerful lighting, and an efficient protein skimmer. I even now have an RO/DI system installed to ensure I always have a supply of purified water for top off and water changes with no trips to the local fish store. The fish and coral are healthy and beautiful and I couldn't be happier.

We have had our 120 gallon reef tank for more than two years now and have struggled with the balance of self-care and outside professional assistance. The biggest obstacles we had with in-home service were trust, communication, care and commitment. I can say without hesitation that Reef eScape has not only met our expectations, but the communication, quality and consistency of the professional service we and our tank receive are beyond compare. Our only complaint is that we had to go through the aggravation and disappointment of the three service companies we tried before finding Reef eScape!

I had been to a lot of aquarium shops and getting conflicting information.  Finally, I found Reef Escape it all started to make sense.  I was having problems with my tank and you patiently took the time to educate me and answer all my questions. You found solutions to all the problems I was having.  All of the life in my reef tank has never looked better and I credit all my success to you.  Thanks for everything.

I don't know how, but Reef eScape makes my aquarium amazing! My guests are impressed, the kids spend hours in front of it, and it seems like I find something new every day! Thanks!

We've always had a fish tank at our business.  For years we kept freshwater fish but it was a lot of work keeping the tank clean and the fish healthy.  When we moved to a larger space we decided it was time to set up a saltwater tank.  Feeling overwhelmed we realized we needed help and called Reef Escape.  You guys did everything from design to installation, even providing the live rocks, corals and fish.  You made it so easy all we have to do is feed the fish!  Thanks.

We went to a local saltwater fish store for our aquarium.  Within a few months we were not happy. The service and communication were poor. We never knew who was coming or when??   It is important to trust someone that is going to be in your house on a regular basis and we didn't.  After trying 2 other local stores, we finally found Reef eScape and everything changed. The service is consistent, professional, and our questions are answered directly in a way we can understand..

My kids love our fish tank!  My entire family loves our fish tank!  It has been a never ending source of enjoyment and learning.  It's so beautiful we set it up in our kitchen so that everyone can see it, all the time.  Reef eScape makes what could be a complicated process seamless and simple.  Their attention to customer service is unmatched, and they go more then the preverbal "extra mile."  Phil and Reef eScape get an A+, and I recommend them highly, and I recommend that you get a tank too.
