Island Fish and Scale

Fantastic experience: The best coral shop on the island. Knowledgeable on a different level. Excellent prices and tons in stock.

Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome!

Fantastic experience: Great selection of fish and coral, and the guys there are so helpful. Perfect for saltwater beginners or experts!

Fantastic experience: Island Fish and Scale is by far the best saltwater aquarium store on Long Island. Their customer service is second to none. I am setting up a new reef tank and opted to go with island fish and scale. Ryan took the time to give me many options and come up with a system that fits my needs, but the service didnt stop there. I had a problem with the plumbing (which I caused by my mistake) he met me at 7pm on Saturday well after the store was closed and fixed my plumbing so I could continue setting up the tank. No other store is going to give that level of customer service.

Fantastic experience: Fresh fish, friendly guys,and great price.

Fantastic experience: Ryan and his team are the best guys out there accommodating my needs. I will only buy my fish here. Everything in my tank is supplied my Ryan.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! Excellent service. I had a unique situation requiring a tank move on short notice. Ryan was able to get me on the schedule quickly and did an amazing job from tank breakdown and collecting all the fish and corals to set up at a new location. Couldn't be more grateful for the job they did and getting me on their busy schedule on short notice. Thank you!

Complete professional and caring individual who listened to my needs. If you need your aquarium moved, this is your team! 10 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: These guys are the best so knowable Ryan and Jay take there time to answer all your questions and their corals are off the hook. Great prices HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Great people who own the place. Awesome selection of corals and fish. Still one of my favorite places

Fantastic experience: Ryan is awesome, very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the reef hobby and the well being of the animals.

Fantastic experience: Ryan and the staff are great!!!

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Healthiest corals on the island

Fantastic experience: Definitely a professional experience with great care towards animals!! Animal lovers all the way. Thank you again Ryan! - Mona V.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Dealing with Ryan is the best experience you could ask for. If you’re look for someone honest, knowledgeable, and who truly cares about the hobby then reach out to island fish and scale. One of the best things I have done

Fantastic experience: Ryan knows his trade, and shares his knowledge to make reef perfection

Fantastic experience: 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!!

Fantastic experience: What can I say other than incredible corals, fish and prices. The new location is awesome and the prices literally can't be beat

Fantastic experience: Ryan and crew are smashing the QT and salt/fresh water maintenance game out of the park. One of the few go-tos nowadays for my needs.

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: 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!!!

Fantastic experience: I am phenomenally wowed at the care and quality provided by Island Fish & Scale. I am SO glad to have taken a chance with them, in one appointment they have truly transformed my tank from a sad bare looking tank into something that actually has me enjoy it once again. They are very professional yet very personable. I had the honor of meeting Ryan and Jenny who worked quick and were very fun to have. Not only do they care about your tank but they also enjoy other pets which is a total plus. Ryan was instantly able to diagnose an issue with my equipment just by taking a look. They work efficently and very clean! The cost of their service is more than reasonable and well worth the investment, because not only do you get serviced but you get educational lessons on pieces of equipment and livestock. This is coming from a broke college student lol. Ryan and Jenny were more than generous by staying longer than the agreed time to ensure that we revieved top notch care, they even provided us with Refractometer calibrating fluid and a pad for the sump free of charge. They helped me set up my display light and sump light on a timer which has been impossible for me to do for almost the entire year that I have had the tank. You can really tell that they care about what they do, so if you're hesistant about employing anyone to help maintain your tank, Island Fish & Scale would be my recommendation. I hope to see them again soon. They made me feel like with their service, my tank will have success and things will thrive! Thank you Ryan and Jenny for your help!
