OUR SERVICES
Aquarium Installation
& Equipment Setup Services ✔️
Setting up a saltwater aquarium can be overwhelming - but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you're starting a new tank or upgrading your existing system, we provide professional installation services that take the guesswork out of the process. From plumbing & filtration to lighting & controller systems, we ensure every component is installed cleanly, efficiently, & built to last.
We tailor every setup to your space, goals, & experience level - whether it’s a simple all-in-one system or a fully customized reef build. Our installations are designed with long-term performance & maintenance in mind, giving you a strong foundation for a thriving, beautiful aquarium from day one.
Aquarium Relocation
& Delivery Services ✔️
Moving an aquarium is no small task - & most hobbyists want to know their system will be handled with care, precision, & experience. Whether you’re relocating across town or simply moving a tank within your home or business, we offer professional aquarium relocation services that prioritize the safety of your livestock, equipment, & overall system integrity.
We manage every detail of the move, including breakdown, transport, & reassembly, with a focus on minimizing stress to both you & your aquarium. For new systems, we also offer secure delivery & placement, ensuring your tank arrives safely & is set up exactly where & how you want it.
Aquarium Maintenance
& Customized Care ✔️
Aquarium owners want a system that looks great & runs effortlessly - but keeping it that way takes time, consistency, & know-how. That’s why we offer two levels of professional maintenance service: Essential, for routine care & upkeep, & Premium, for deeper, more hands-on support. Whether you need regular water changes, glass cleaning, or equipment inspections, both packages are designed to help your tank stay clean, stable, & thriving - without the stress.
For advanced reef systems or specialty aquariums with demanding care requirements, we also offer customized care plans tailored to your unique setup. Whether you're running a mixed reef, housing rare livestock, or managing complex equipment, we provide the expertise & attention needed to keep your system balanced & beautiful.
Saltwater & RO/DI
Water Delivery Services ✔️
Producing RO/DI water or mixing saltwater at home can be time-consuming, messy, & inconsistent. That’s why we offer reliable water delivery services - bringing clean, reef-safe saltwater & RO/DI freshwater straight to your home or business, ready for immediate use.
Whether you're starting a new system, managing a large reef tank, or just want to make maintenance easier, our water delivery service saves you time & effort. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters most - keeping your aquarium healthy & beautiful. You choose the volume, schedule the delivery, & we handle the rest - no mess, no guesswork.
