What Maintenance Includes

We ensure your aquarium setup is perfect for your space and needs. Let us take care of the details.

Water Chemistry Balance

We monitor and adjust pH levels, salinity, oxygen, and nitrogen to keep your aquatic environment stable. Saltwater aquariums need 30,000 to 40,000 parts per million salt content, while freshwater stays below 500 parts per million. Each fish species needs specific alkalinity levels to stay healthy.

Waste Management

Fish excrete ammonia, which becomes toxic without proper removal. We test nitrogen levels and perform water changes to eliminate waste products before they harm your fish.

Equipment Inspection

We check all equipment during each visit to catch problems before they cause system failures: Filter cleaning and replacement , Air pump function and output , Water circulation pump performance , Heater accuracy for tropical species , Protein skimmer efficiency (saltwater systems)

Maintenance Tasks by System Type

Freshwater Aquariums

Freshwater systems need regular filter maintenance, substrate vacuuming to remove waste from gravel, algae control, and water changes (typically 10-25% weekly depending on tank size and fish load).

Custom Systems

Large or custom-designed aquariums need specialized maintenance approaches. We adapt our service to your system’s unique requirements.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Installation Location

Prevent Fish Stress and Death

Unstable water chemistry causes fish stress, disease, and death. Regular maintenance keeps conditions stable and your fish healthy.

Equipment Access

Avoid Expensive Equipment Failure

Catching equipment problems early prevents complete system breakdowns. A failed heater or filter can kill your entire tank population overnight.

Electrical Requirements

Maintain Visual Appeal

Regular cleaning keeps your aquarium looking its best. Algae buildup, cloudy water, and dirty glass detract from the beauty you invested in.

Our Maintenance Process

We visit on your chosen schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on your system’s needs). Each visit includes water testing and adjustment, equipment inspection and cleaning, algae removal, partial water changes, and a full system check.

You receive a report after each service detailing what we found and what we did.

Expert Care You Can Trust

Our team knows how to maintain every type of aquarium system. We’ve serviced tanks throughout Los Angeles since 1989, from small home aquariums to large commercial installations.

Regular maintenance keeps your fish healthy, your equipment working, and your aquarium beautiful.

Saltwater Aquariums

Marine systems require more complex care. We monitor specific gravity and salinity, maintain protein skimmers, test and adjust calcium and alkalinity levels, and control algae growth specific to saltwater environments.

Maintenance Plans

We create maintenance schedules based on your aquarium’s specific needs. Tank size, fish population, system type (freshwater or saltwater), and equipment complexity all determine visit frequency.

Most residential aquariums need bi-weekly or monthly service. Commercial installations typically require weekly visits.
