I was packing and getting ready to leave for the Thanksgiving holiday and realized there was something seriously wrong with my filter system. I found OcReefCare online and saw that it said 24 hour emergency service. It was 10pm. He came over immediately and thoroughly checked everything in my tank, including the PH. He asked me questions and gave me an evaluation of my tank. He helped me eliminate a bad filter system that had a leak possibility. I live on the 3rd floor in an apartment and he sav… Read more

OC Reef Care has maintained our two saltwater tanks for the past five years, and has done a tremendous job for us. We have had the tanks for fifteen years, and have never before been so pleased with the quality care and maintenance of the tanks and fish. Both of our tanks are odd sized and difficult to maintain; but OC Reef Care has kept them immaculate and our fish healthy. In the inevitable case where we lost a fish or two, they were prompt to find out why and replace them. The smaller tank is… Read more

I was referred to Alfonso by a local fish store. Even though I have had fresh water aquariums since a little kid I was new to salt water. I tried to set my tank up before talking with Alfonso and all I can say was it wasn’t working. I called Alfonso and he came out and spent more than a few hours fixing all the little problems I had with the tank. After that he taught me the right way to cycle the tank and get it ready for fish. After the first two months he talked me into making my fish only ta… Read more

By far the best aquarium service in Southern California. My tanks are looking their best thanks to the great advice by Alfonso. Pictures are beautiful on the web site. I would definitely recomend this service to anyone who is serious about salwater aquariums.

What can I say, unbelievable, phenomenal service, guys came out the same day, took care of everything from A-to-Z, even went and got my tank exchanged for me, stellar red carpet service, I am a customer for life !

There is no where else to find any other person as Alfonso . He is the best and the most knowledgeable for my tank. He has been around fish and seawater his whole life. I’m glad to know this person.

Hired them to move a tank. was very nervous about the move. turned out the people who installed the tank previously did a piss poor job. after all livestock was taken out and water drained, found that the tank couldn’t be removed from the stand. i’d expect most movers to walk away at this point, but they stuck it out and eventually found a way to move everything. took 6 hours, but they stuck it out. not only did they finish the move, they fixed the problem and my tank actually is healthier now t… Read more

I am a marine biologist professor at a local University, where I operate a 2,000 gallon recirculating aquarium system for classes and research. Alfonso (Owner of OC Reef Care) has been incredibly helpful with procuring seawater for my system. He is always pleasant to work with, and very accommodating to our needs and schedules at the University. Alfonso is clearly a very knowledgable and skilled aquarist, with years of experience that serve his clients well. I strongly recommend OC Reef Care for… Read more

Like it never really happened..I have or should I say had a 200 gal reef tank that the glass came apart one night. I called Alfonso and he came over right away took the coral to his shop so they wouldn’t die and came back the following morning with 2 addtionals guys and completely dismanteled everything. He and his team were a lifesavor!! I would highly recommend OC REEF CARE for not only my maintaince but all needed fish tank care including emergancys

Alfonso did a great job on setting up my new 92 gallon reef tank. He has been very knowledgeable and patient during the set up. I have never owned such a beautiful tank. I would recommend Alfonso’s service to anyone in need of dependable reef tank set up’s or servicing.
