1. How do I clean my fish tank properly?

Regular cleaning involves removing debris, vacuuming the substrate, and performing partial water changes. Over-cleaning, however, can disrupt beneficial bacteria. Our expert maintenance team ensures a thorough yet balanced cleaning schedule tailored to your tank's needs.

2. Why is my aquarium water cloudy?

Cloudy water can be caused by bacteria blooms, excess nutrients, or poor filtration. Our professionals can diagnose the issue, recommend the right treatments, and maintain a healthy water balance to keep your tank crystal clear.

3. How do I get rid of algae in my fish tank?

Algae growth is often due to excess nutrients, improper lighting, or an imbalance in the tank. We offer algae control solutions, including maintenance services that prevent overgrowth while keeping your aquarium looking its best.

4. How often should I change the water in my aquarium?

Most tanks benefit from weekly or bi-weekly water changes, but the frequency depends on tank size, stocking levels, and filtration. Our maintenance service ensures optimal water quality with a customized schedule for your aquarium.

5. What are the best water parameters for my fish tank?

Water parameters vary for freshwater and saltwater tanks, but stable pH, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are essential. We provide water testing and adjustments to keep your fish healthy and your tank thriving.

6. How do I remove nitrates from my aquarium?

High nitrate levels can harm fish and promote algae growth. Solutions include water changes, proper filtration, and live plants. Our team can implement effective nitrate reduction strategies tailored to your setup.

7. How do I lower alkalinity in my reef tank?

High alkalinity can affect coral health and disrupt the tank’s stability. We offer professional water testing and precise adjustments to maintain the ideal reef environment.

8. How do I prevent fish diseases like ich or marine velvet?

Proper quarantine procedures, stable water conditions, and parasite prevention are key. If your fish show signs of illness, our team can help diagnose the issue and provide professional treatment solutions.

9. How do I clean live rock in a saltwater tank?

Live rock can accumulate detritus and unwanted pests. Safe cleaning methods include gentle brushing and controlled dips. Our experts can help with deep cleaning while preserving the rock’s beneficial bacteria.
