Hello Steve,

I received the electronic ballasts yesterday and plugged them in. They seem to be working great! I have just shipped the magnetic ballast back via UPS.

I have to tell you that I have been very pleased in all my dealings with you. From the very first time we talked until now you have demonstrated exceptional customer service, timely communication and follow up, in depth knowledge of the light fixture and patience with my inability to choose the correct ballast from the beginning.

Thank you again for a very positive experience. I just wish more Internet merchants were like you.

Best regards,

Hi Steve -

I wanted to let you know how much we love our aquarium [Reef 8 in the Reef Systems Gallery]. As you know, we pretty much designed our whole downstairs around it and it has become a destination for any and all folks who come to visit. Kids and adults alike pull up a stool and gaze for ever into the fascinating and colorful world you have created. We also want to commend you for excellent customer service and creating an ongoing maintenance relationship with us. We truly would have been fish out of water with the complexities of managing such a beautiful and lively ecosystem.  Not only have you created a living artistic masterpiece but you have also created an environment of surprise and shared wealth. I love how you bring new life to us from your other customers and that when something in my tank gets to be too big you share it with others. So you not only create an ecosystem in my tank but you create an ecosystem with all your customers as well.

Again thanks for the gifts.

Hi!

Well, my stuff is here, and I'm very pleased.  I hooked up a ballast and one bulb just to see -- WOW - I am really looking forward to finishing it out.  I'll call when I get ready for the controller, hopefully in a couple of weeks.  Thanks again for your great service, follow thru, and just all around good attitude, that should bring many rewards and $$$ your way!  From a very satisfied shopper who knows what service is all about.

Steve -

We look forward to receiving our canopy and system.  I appreciate you being so attentive to us and our questions, and your helpful suggestions.  I would rate your service excellent, and have a good feeling that I will feel the same way about your product.

Jeff

Steve -

We got the canopy on Friday and we love it.  Everything fits great and is in working order.  We are very satisfied customers and will use you again for our lighting and canopy/stand needs.  We would be happy to be a reference for you if you ever need one.  Thanks so much for all that you have done.

Jeff & Jeri

Steve,

This is Jeff Reiter. I just spoke with you on the phone about the burned up Icecap. I called them, and you were right, without hesitation they said to just send it in and they would repair/replace it. As always, it pays to go with good companies that stand behind their quality products.

I also wanted to drop you a note that Jeri and I have been extremely pleased with the canopy and lighting system. Our tank is doing so much better than it ever did before. Even our clams and SPS's are doing wonderful. The clams and SPS's are not only are staying alive, but exhibiting very good growth.  In fact, the tank is doing extremely well in every respect and looks great.  Your work has worked like a dream for us and was worth every penny. And as always, your level of personal service is virtually unheard of.  Any future business we need will certainly be yours.

Our thanks again,

Jeff

Thanks a bunch!  I really enjoyed doing business with you.  As a trainer for the world's largest financial services company, I truly believe in customer service and word of mouth advertising.  I have already told several friends about the great service I received from you, and will continue to tell others.

Thanks again,
George

Dear Steve -

How does one say thank you for three years of joy, wonder and complete satisfaction.

Over the years we have had several "professional" aquarium service organizations look after our aquarium in our office.  Unfortunately, we were never quite satisfied with the result.  That is, until you took over our aquarium.   One picture is worth a thousand words.  Our reef featured on your website [Reef 6 in the Reef Systems Gallery] tells most of the story.  The rest is our testimonial to your professionalism, care and reliability.

Thank you!

Dear Fellow Reef Aquarist:

My husband and I contracted the services of Coral Reef Eco-Systems in August of 1996.  Though our first idea was to put a fish tank behind our bar area, we had no idea what adventure awaited us.  We had never been introduced to a reef-type system, and were extremely interested in understanding and creating this living panorama in our house.  My first thought was that this would be excellent for our two boys but quickly found that this hobby would turn out to be my love instead.

The Ruddy's were the most professional and kind individuals throughout this whole experience.  We contracted initially with them entirely over the phone and through fax.  The building of the tank was particularly hard due to restrictive space requirements, so a lot of pictures had to be sent prior to the setting up, so they could create measurements for the tank.  They were very patient and honest with us during the entire process and continually made us think for ourselves and be realistic in this endeavor.  They did not try to sell or convince us that we should put in a reef aquarium -- they told us the work that would be involved and we had very real conversations that this will be a part of our daily lives and additional responsibilities from now on.  We were ready for the challenge and have never looked back.

The fulfillment of looking at this amazing and beautiful moving artwork in our home has brought a sense of peace and sometimes healing, as we all sit around and look at this on a daily basis.  All of our visitors admire it and are in awe when they first see it.  I feel good when I can explain the different coral types and ecological processes involved with each animal.  I feel Coral Reef Eco-Systems would be the only company that could have done this in such a caring, thorough and precise manner.  You can tell that they are truly committed and concerned for their clients and the love for the ecosystem.  We still get calls from them just to see how we are doing, and I continually order from them.  I would recommend Steve and Toni to anyone, and have never once regretted our decision to install a reef aquarium, which opened the door for us to meet two wonderful people and take advantage of all their resources.

The Nicholl Family
