-
Livestock Acquisition, Quarantine & Delivery - We acquire, quarantine, and deliver fish & plants for your aquarium. Once the livestock is deemed to be healthy, we will deliver and introduce it to your aquarium (freshwater & saltwater fish/plants).
-
Aquarium Cleaning Service - For both acrylic & glass aquariums. Aquarium refinishing, care, & general cleanings.
-
Fish Diagnosis - We can examine every fish in your aquarium to make sure they are all healthy. We check for fungus, clamped fins, labored breathing & bloating, which are all warning signs for a possible issue. We begin treatment once we diagnose the fish's disease or illness. The medications and treatments we use are proven to eradicate parasites and diseases.
-
Full or Partial Water Change - We reduce nitrite levels to a non-toxic range. Water replacement is dependent on the filtration & stocking level of the aquarium.
-
Substrate Vacuuming - Excess food and waste gets lodged between substrate rocks & sand. If left to decay, it can pose as a potential threat to your aquarium.
-
Algae Reduction - All algae thrives in aquariums. Large amounts algae can be harmful to the health of your fish (Algae Reduction is included with every aquarium maintenance service).
-
Water Testing - All water parameters should be balanced w/ routine aquarium maintenance service. Aquariums that are not routinely serviced, may have water levels that are considered unacceptable.
-
We test for ph, kh, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and salinity levels. Once we pinpoint the issue, we will bring all levels back to an appropriate range.

Servicing the Filter - Filters must be cleaned often to maximize their lifespan & performance. Filter media, pads, socks, and carbon will all be replaced with each aquarium maintenance service.

Equipment Testing- In conjunction with the filter, heaters, skimmers, and UV light are often used to keep corals, fish, plants, and invertebrates thriving. Heaters can get stuck in the on or off position, skimmers become clogged, and UV bulbs wear down. It's imperative that all equipment is working properly to maintain the health of your aquarium and its inhabitants.
