LLS is the ONLY FULL-SERVICE design, production, aquatic supply, and maintenance provider for lobster tanks, fish tanks, shellfish tanks, aquariums, marine salt, filters, activated carbon, and other marine life systems serving North America.
LLS was founded in 1989 as a producer and supplier of marine salt for a few local retailers. Over the years the business grew into one of the major marine salt manufacturers and distributors in the country for supermarket chains, restaurants, independent grocers, gourmet shops, wholesalers and marine exhibitors throughout North America. LLS also began custom designing lobster tanks for clients who were buying the marine salt and today manufactures top-of-the-line, custom-designed lobster and shellfish tanks with the only self contained purging system available in the industry.

Only LLS tanks have a reservoir tank below. In the event of a power outage or a mechanical failure, all the water in the main tank will immediately drain down into the lower receptacle tank. Lobsters can live for hours out of water, but only one hour in stagnant non-oxygenated water.
