Similar to a garden, aquariums achieve their balance and beauty from regular care. This specialized care is what our staff at NY Aquarium Service is trained to do.
Most of the aquariums under our supervision receive weekly or bi-monthly care. The exact frequency of scheduling depends on the type of aquarium (fresh, brackish or saltwater), the species of fish being cared for, as well as the size of the tank.
During a typical service visit, an NYAS technician will perform a partial water change, water analysis, algae and detritus removal from the insides of the tank, and a filter cleaning. The decorations inside the tank will be cleaned and miscellaneous vitamins and trace elements are added to the water as needed.
A general health analysis will be taken of the livestock as well as recommendations for new specimens to be added. Time is also spent at the end of each service visit to remove any traces of water or salt marks from the surrounding aquarium furniture.
