Cleaning the front glass of a saltwater reef aquarium

Try it

Clean the glass yourself

A real tank with three months of algae on the front panel. Wipe it and see what is underneath. Then imagine never having to.

What is included

  • Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly visits
  • Water changes with properly mixed saltwater or conditioned freshwater
  • Glass, acrylic, substrate and decor cleaning
  • Water testing: salinity, pH, nitrate, phosphate, alkalinity, calcium
  • Filter, skimmer, pump and light checks
  • Fish and coral health check every visit

Most fish tank problems are slow. Nitrate creeps up, algae takes hold, a pump gets a little louder each week. Regular fish tank cleaning catches all of it before it becomes a crash. Jason has serviced the same tanks in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach for years, so he notices when something is off before you do.

Where the difference shows

Every visit ends with the tank looking the way it did the day it was set up: clean glass, bright rock, clear water, fish out and eating. If a parameter drifts, you hear about it and what he is doing about it. If a piece of equipment is on its way out, you hear that too, before it fails.

Maintenance plans work for saltwater reef tanks, fish-only saltwater systems, freshwater community tanks, planted aquariums, cichlid tanks and ponds. A 20 gallon on a desk and a 300 gallon built into a wall get the same routine, scaled to the system.

“He's much more of a mentor or "sensei" for the fish hobbyist.”

Questions

Common questions about aquarium cleaning & maintenance

  • Most saltwater reef tanks do best with a visit every one to two weeks. Freshwater community tanks are usually fine every two to four weeks. Jason looks at your tank, your stocking level and your equipment and recommends a schedule; nobody gets sold more visits than the tank needs.

  • A water change, glass and decor cleaning, substrate vacuuming where appropriate, water testing, filter and equipment checks, top-off, and a look at every fish and coral. Anything unusual gets flagged to you before Jason leaves.

  • Yes. Saltwater is mixed and matched to your tank's salinity and temperature ahead of time so a water change never shocks the system.

  • Yes. Many of Jason's clients are offices, lobbies and homes where nobody is around during the visit. Access gets set up once and stays that way.

  • It depends on tank size, whether it is saltwater or freshwater, and how often it is visited. Call or text Jason with the size and type of tank and you will get a straight answer, usually the same day.
