Aquarium maintenance is about more than just cleaning the tank and balancing the water. It sometimes means replacing or adding fish to the tank. That's why many aquarium experts have stock that's already acclimated and healthy so it can be easily added when needed.

If you keep tropical fish, you probably already know the importance of monitoring your aquarium water daily for changes in pH and temperature. It's also a good idea to monitor the behavior of your fish pretty closely to detect signs of stress or illness early.

All salt water reef corals have four basic requirements in order to survive in a home aquarium - the right water quality, food, light, and water movement. This varies from species to species so ensure that you know the specifications of your variety.

04/23/2024

Did you realize that over 2,000 species of tropical fish are sold in the U.S. every year? Although a majority of those fish are freshwater species, demand for saltwater varieties has grown, especially over the last decade.

04/18/2024

The world's oceans are full of animals, including thousands and thousands of different types of fish. Care to guess how many fish species scientists believe live on Earth? If you guessed 25,000 or so, you're right.

04/16/2024

Before you purchase your first aquarium, it’s very important to think about the types of fish and plant life you’d like it to house. Since freshwater fish can’t survive in saltwater environments, getting the right equipment for your future fish will ensure you don’t have to settle on a different type of fish.

04/11/2024

If you are going away on vacation, and cannot get a friend to come over and care for your fish, call us and ask about automatic fish feeders. These handy devices are programmed to release specific amounts of food during the day while you are gone.

04/09/2024

Were you aware that temperatures in excess of 84 degrees Fahrenheit can be harmful to your aquarium animals? This is also true of temperatures that are too cold. However, in cases where aquarium water temps are getting to warm, a chiller should be used to cool the water.

04/04/2024

If you have a swimming pool, you know about the pH level. Fish need a steady, healthy pH level as well, so make sure you get a water test kit so you can regularly keep track of the pH level in your aquarium.

04/02/2024

What is the best type of water to use in aquariums? Dechlorinated tap water. Tap water that has been dechlorinated is not only affordable, but it contains all of the micronutrients and minerals which aquarium fish require.

03/28/2024

Did you know that ammonia is perhaps the most common and toxic of all aquarium pollutants? Sudden surges in ammonia levels in a tank often remain unnoticed until your fish show signs of distress, which is why regular maintenance is so important.

03/26/2024

We recognize that not everyone planning to get an aquarium for their home necessarily knows what water temperature their fish will need to survive. Let’s talk about the type of fish you plan to add so that we can help you ensure you have all the supplies you’ll need.

03/21/2024

One of the best ways to end up with an abundance of algae growth and the proliferation of dangerous bacteria in your aquarium is to place it facing a window or in direct sunlight. Remember, the best place for your aquarium is on a strong steady surface away from direct sunlight and vents.

03/19/2024

If you have aggressive fish in your tank, it’s important to note that they will fight for dominance over food. Because of this, it’s recommended that you provide more than one food source in your aquarium. Tangs, for example, will benefit from a vegi clip with dried seaweed at both ends of the aquarium.

03/14/2024

Saltwater aquariums need a gravity, or temperature-dependent salinity reading, between 1.020 and 1.024. Standard water pH is between 6.5 and 8.4. Water must typically be 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideal numbers depend on what's living in your tank, so seek out all the advice you need.

03/12/2024

Have you always dreamed of having a large aquarium that can be the focal point of your room even when the lights are out? In order to achieve this, we’ll need to discuss the size of the tank so that we can help you find the most appropriate tank light.

03/07/2024

Consider creating a chart that includes which normal water parameters are necessary to maintain a thriving aquarium. Changes can be caught early, and the chart will help if you have someone caring for your aquarium if you are away from home. Your aquarium maintenance professional can help you to create this chart.

03/05/2024

You’ll want to be sure to keep your phosphate levels near zero in your aquarium. Phosphate is a nutrient that fuels algae growth and allows corals, invertebrates, and coralline algae to calcify.

02/29/2024

Remember to inspect your biological media every month for signs of clogging. The biological media does not require monthly replacement, but if the media clogs, it should be rinsed with aquarium water so that beneficial—or “good”—bacteria is preserved.

02/27/2024

An important part of aquarium maintenance is regular vacuuming of the gravel. This will eliminate uneaten foods and other residues that tend to settle on the bottom of the tank.

02/22/2024

Many people choose some type of gravel or rocks for the bottom of their aquarium. It looks good and anchors any plants you may have. Be certain to regularly clean any substrate in your aquarium.

02/20/2024

If you have a particular budget in mind for your new tank, it may be easier to come to us for assistance instead of trying to put everything together on your own. We’re always happy to help you get the most aquarium out of your budget.

02/15/2024

Fishkeeping has come a long way in the last 20 years, making saltwater aquarium maintenance easier and more rewarding. There are also more saltwater fish species available to showcase, or even propagate, than ever before.

02/13/2024

It’s important to remember that many aquariums are more advanced than the goldfish bowl you might’ve had in your room as a child. When you aren’t sure which gadgets your tank really needs to flourish, we’re always happy to provide guidance.

02/08/2024

We understand that some aquarium problems can be too difficult to diagnose and repair on your own. When you need a little extra help, we’re always up to the challenge.

02/06/2024

You may love the look of saltwater fish, but brackish water fish are fascinating too. They live in waterways where fresh and saltwater meet, like in the world's estuaries. Brackish water fish are somewhat easier to keep than saltwater varieties, so they make good starter fish.

02/01/2024

If you have anything bigger than a 40-gallon reef tank, a protein skimmer is a very important piece of filtration equipment to have. This is a device used mostly in saltwater tanks to remove organic compounds from the water before they break down into nitrogenous waste.

01/30/2024

Unfortunately, problems can occur in an aquarium that aren’t always solved by a simple water change or cleaning. If you’re experiencing unusual issues in your tank, let’s talk about what could be causing it.

01/25/2024

Do you keep goldfish in your aquarium? Goldfish are heavy eaters and they are considered one of the most greedy aquarium fish. They will eat until they are full and if you decide to add more food, they will continue eating until they become bloated.

01/23/2024

When it comes to tank size, it's always better to err on the side of getting a larger tank than you might need. It's a good idea to make sure your fish can swim several times their body length before they have to turn around.
