About Pecan Grove Solutions

Located just outside of Houston TX, and with offices all across the United States, Pecan Grove Solutions is ideally located to ship parts and products as well as provide customer support anywhere in North America.
THE FOUNDER
Lawrence has kept fish for over 30 years and has two degrees in Marine Biology.
He has given talks on successful fish keeping and commercial system maintenance across the nation, and has consulted with manufacturers to make their products better.
