frequently-asked

questions:

  • Hiring a professional for your aquarium maintenance isn't just a smart choice—it's an investment in the health and beauty of your tank.

    With expert knowledge, professionals ensure your fish and plants thrive by maintaining perfect water quality and meeting each species' unique needs. They also use top-quality products and equipment to catch problems early, saving you money and hassle.

    Let the pros handle the hard work so you can fully enjoy your aquarium without the stress.

  • The time it takes for aquarium service depends on the size and type of your tank and what needs to be done.

    Generally, tank check-ups take the least amount of time—for feeding, dosing and monitoring, expect an average of 10-15 minutes per tank, regardless of size.

    Routine maintenance like parameter testing, cleaning/water changes, and equipment checks takes a minimum 1 hour, but can vary widely.

    More detailed tasks, such as fixing issues or setting up a new tank, might take longer.

    In any case, it's best to book a free consultation to get a better idea, based on your specific setup.

  • Tank Start is a short-term program designed specifically to plan, establish and guide you along your first steps toward the tank of your dreams.

    A free initial consultation is included to determine the scope of the project, including aquarium size, livestock, equipment and layout.

    From there, assembly begins with an appointment to lay the tank's foundations: equipment setup, aquarium hardscaping, and planting. Once the foundations are set, cycling the tank can begin—then it's time to add your fish! We'll be there to see you through the entire process, start to finish.
