What's Included

Every visit covers the fundamentals

A standard visit is built around the core tasks that keep a reef system healthy and stable over time:

Water Testing

Checking key parameters — salinity, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate — and adjusting as needed to keep the tank in a stable range.

Water Changes

Routine partial water changes using properly mixed and aged saltwater, matched to your system's size and bioload.

Cleaning

Glass/acrylic cleaning, algae and detritus removal, filter sock or media changes, skimmer cleaning, pump cleaning as needed, and general debris cleanup.

Equipment Check

Visual inspection of pumps, skimmers, heaters, and lighting to catch small issues before they become tank emergencies.

Livestock Health Check

A visual check-in on coral and fish health, flagging anything that looks off so it can be addressed early.

Dosing & Top-Off

Topping off auto-top-off reservoirs and dosing containers, and refilling supplements as part of the visit.
