Premier Aquarium Service provides aquarium installations, aquarium maintenance, aquarium moves, water garden installations, ultra-rare fish, and bubble walls to the Minneapolis, MN area.
Premier’s “front of the store” showroom reflects high-quality care and expertise. The aquatic displays are thoughtfully designed and clearly cared for by people who love what they do – and Premier’s “back of the house,” design/build shop is equally impressive. Put them together and you truly have a one of a kind “Premier” experience that can’t be beat. All of Premier’s staff, including Nathan L, who combines his lifelong passion with many years of personal and professional experience for/with animals and aquatic life, reflect a culture of respect, excellence, ethics, and fun.

We had a large aquarium built into our new home a couple of years ago with help throughout the process by Mike and Ian. Ian has serviced our aquarium every couple weeks since installation and is always friendly and helpful. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and a trustworthy serviceman. Ian goes above and beyond to help us resolve any issues that arise with maintaing our livestock and keeps it looking beautiful.

I have used Premiere Aquarium for nearly 15 years. During that time, Ian has always been the technician on my account. He does an excellent job of maintaining my tank, consulting on/providing new livestock, and addressing any questions I have. You can tell he really cares about my saltwater reef tank and making it look incredible. Additionally, a couple years back, I upgraded my tank to a larger one. Premiere Aquarium (specifically their owner Mike and Ian), worked with me thru the entire process, from getting me a quote on the tank, recommending all the required live rock, coral, filtration, etc., and their team ultimately installed it in my home. I could not be happier with how it turned out. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get into the hobby, whether it be a freshwater tank, or saltwater.

Frequently Asked Questions About Premier Aquarium Service
How do I know if a company is fully insured?
We recommend requesting copies of liability and workers' compensation insurance certifications from the companies you're considering. At Premier Aquarium Service, we're always ready to provide our insurance documentation upon request.
What should be the primary focus of an aquarium company?
The main focus should be on aquarium installation and service. If the company also has a retail division, it's important that they maintain a separate, dedicated staff for their service operations to ensure specialized attention to each aspect of the business.

Knowing the exact brands ensures accountability from your aquarium installation company.
