About the service
I design, install, and maintain custom home aquariums for hobbyists and offices who want a healthy, visually striking tank without the guesswork. Over the past several years I have built and cared for dozens of freshwater and saltwater setups, from compact 20-gallon nano tanks to large statement pieces over 100 gallons, including planted aquascapes with driftwood and stone hardscape, biotope-style layouts, and reef-ready marine tanks.
Service includes: on-site consultation and space assessment, tank and stand selection, full filtration setup (canister, sump, or hang-on-back matched to bioload), lighting selection for plant or coral growth, substrate and hardscape design, cycling the tank safely before livestock introduction, and species selection advice matched to your water parameters, tank size, and compatibility needs.
For ongoing care I offer weekly, biweekly, or monthly maintenance plans covering water testing (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH/KH), partial water changes, filter media servicing, algae control, glass cleaning, equipment checks, and livestock health monitoring. Emergency visits for cloudy water, fish illness, or equipment failure are available.
Typical turnaround for a full new setup is one to two weeks depending on cycling time and equipment delivery; maintenance visits are scheduled and take 30-60 minutes per tank. I bring my own testing kit, tools, and basic consumables to every visit. References, before/after photos of past builds, and a written care plan are provided with every project. Fish health and water quality are documented at every visit so you always know exactly how your tank is doing.
