Make Over.

Your Aquarium should be an attractive feature of your home and a healthy and happy place for your pet fish to live. If it isn't something is wrong - perhaps you need professional help. We can come to your home and solve your problems by creating a healthy and attractive system within your tank and a beautiful sparkling addition to your home.

Makeover fees: these depend largely on what needs to be done a simple run-down tank starts at £45.00* anything beyond his will be quoted individually.

  Maintenance.

 Keep your tank a sparkling and beautiful feature of your home and a healthy place for your pet fish with a regular maintenance visit. Every tank is individual and their needs may differ slightly but most tanks can be kept in good order with a visit every two weeks or a visit every four weeks.

Maintenance fees:

Very large tanks or those with special requirements, or needing a long journey to reach may be subject to a supplement.

FRESHWATER TANKS.

 A standard service will consist of: siphon out water along with detritus from gravel to 10 - 25% of tank volume; replace siphoned water with fresh conditioned water heated to correct temperature, at correct pH and hardness and treated to remove chlorine, chloramine and metal salts: removal of algae from inside front glass; check and clean mechanical and biological filters ensuring the essential biological function of the nitrogen cycle is effective; check all other equipment for function and adjust as neccesary; check fish for health and condition and medicate if necessary; check any plants for condition, trim, rearrange and feed as necessary; ensure aquascaping is at its most advantageous and adjust if needed; test water for ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, temperature and pH values and adjust as needed; feed supplemental food and advice on any action needed to be taken. 

MARINE TANKS

While we can assist with marine tanks as a general rule marine ( seawater ) systems need a much more constant level of attention this limits the range of species that can be kept, though there are many beautiful and interesting creatures in this range.
