Our Mission
Our mission at Boodleshire Aquatics is to provide a thorough, stress-free, and convenient aquarium service experience. Our tailor-made maintenance and installation services are unique to your life and your aquarium.
​
Boodleshire Aquatics started with the Fish Tank Biologist Blog. Writing quality content that benefited aquarium hobbyists led to a substantial local online presence. In no time at all, a few clients became dozens as we proved ourselves to be the aquarium maintenance company that cares for our clients’ systems like they are our own.
​
Boodleshire Aquatics was built upon reliability, knowledge, meticulousness, consistency, and honesty. We work by these values with every aquarium we service. Our client retention and thriving aquariums speak for themselves. We believe taking a scientific approach to aquarium care, along with first-class customer service, has led to our success.
​
A formal education and 20 years of experience has taught Brian (owner) how to properly design, install, and maintain quality freshwater and saltwater aquarium systems. We utilize the latest technology and scientific methodology. Our systems are built to last by not taking short cuts, or compromising on the quality of system components.
Boodleshire Aquatics installs and services residential, commercial, and office aquariums of all kinds. If your aquarium is suffering in any way, needs a simple cleaning, is having unknown issues, or is not thriving the way you want or expected, we have you covered.
​
Boodleshire Aquatics was established in Merriam, Kansas and services the entire Kansas City Metro and surrounding area.
