Let The Asheville Aquarium provide monthly maintenance services for your home or office tank!

Our staff provides some of the best service around because we treat each tank we maintain as if it was our own personal tank. We don’t use contracts because it makes us earn your business each visit. As always, if for any reason you aren’t satisfied, we will do our very best to make things right.  We look forward to serving your aquarium maintenance needs!

We will make up to two scheduled visits each month for maintenance and checkups.
We will change up to 25% of the water from tanks we manage each month, depending on each tank’s specific needs.
We will monitor tank water quality on each visit by conducting water tests:
o        Salinity o        pH
o        Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate o        Phosphate (if necessary)
o        Nitrate o        Calcium (if necessary)
o        Other tests such as hardness, magnesium, iodine are conducted as needed
We will check all tank inhabitants to make sure they look healthy
We will clean algae off of the inside glass and from decorations and substrate as needed
We will check your filters each visit and clean/replace all filter medium as needed.

We will inspect all equipment for issues, and make recommendations as needed (Example: scheduled regular and UV bulb replacement*).
We will clean around the tank to remove dust, salt creep, etc. to keep the tank and general surroundings presentable.
In addition to general maintenance, we also provide expert advice on proper feeding for your fish and inverts. We’ll also make suggestions and assist where needed to address problems such as nuisance algae, fish and invert compatibility and general aquarium health.
