Maintenance
Here at Aquascape UK we provide a
wide range of maintenance options
from one off water tests and
treatments to a full weekly service.
Regular water changes and monitoring the water parameters are very
important in keeping a happy healthy aquarium.
It is this lack of knowledge that causes most beginners to lose fish or
seem to have one disease after another affect their tank and they soon
give up on the hobby.

Our A-Z maintenance service is not only to ensure you are able to enjoy
your aquarium more by keeping the conditions optimal for the fish you
keep but also to educate people if they wish giving them a better
understanding of why such measures are required and slowly build
confidence in your own abilities in fish keeping.
Some people may not be physically capable
of performing the weekly water changes,
testing the nitrates, pH, ammonia and nitrites
of the water and all general aquarium
maintenance or simply not have the time to
dedicate to these tasks.

Our full service includes a weekly water
change, gravel
syphon, algae removal and
tank cleaning.
Monthly water tests and filter cleaning when
required so all you have to do is enjoy your
fish without any of the hassle.
Prices vary depending on the size of the aquarium and details are listed
below. If you have any questions or special requirements please don't
hesitate to contact us for a no obligation quote.
Water testing and treatment.
From time to time even the more experienced fish keeper can have
unexplained deaths in their tank over a short period of time with no
obvious cause or have a disease they are unable to treat with any
sucsess.
One of our experienced staff will with perform an accurate test of the
waters Nitrate, pH, Ammonia and Nitrite while assessing the condition of
the fish.
We will then not only treat the disease but look into what could have
caused to problem to try to ensure it does not reoccur.

Prices
Aquariums ranging up to 200ltr.  - £20
Aquariums ranging 200ltr.- 400ltr.  - £25
In some cases the problem may require more than one dose of
treatment, in such instances a no obligation quote will be given for the
full treatment although such cases are rare.
Maintenance Options
Our maintenance option comes with no contract. Many people find the
service invaluable for the first few months when the new aquarium goes
through the nitrogen cycle and the filter takes time to establish itself, it
is during this stage that most problems are encountered.

Others who enjoy having the aquarium but for a various reasons don't
have the time or ability to perform all the weekly tasks find the full
maintenance service as way of enjoying the fish keeping hobby without
any of the work.

Full Maintenance includes the following.

* A weekly visit at an agreed time to perform a 20-30% water change.
This is essential in keeping toxins such as Ammonia levels down and
prevents disease. Water is syphoned from the tank and taken away, it is
replaced by fresh water treated to remove chlorine and other harmful
elements.

*
Weekly cleaning of gravel or sand.
Waste food and fish waste is cleaned from the gravel using a syphon to
prevent harmful levels of toxins building up.

*
Weekly cleaning of algae growth.
Algae is present in all aquariums and although not dangerous to the fish
can look unsightly and be hard to get rid of if it is not kept under control.
The sides of the aquarium will be cleaned to make sure your aquarium
looks its best at all times.

*
Monthly water parameter testing.
The water will be tested once a month to test for Nitrate, Ammonia, pH
and Nitrite levels. This is essential in not only making sure the water is
safe for the fish but also serves as an early warning for any potential
problems preventing any disease outbreak.

*
Monthly filter media cleaning.
Keeping the filter in the aquarium working as effectively as possible is
very important but a knowledge of the bacteria in the filter and how it
works to rid the aquarium water of toxins is required.
We will ensure that the filter is working at its optimal efficiency creating
safe and clean water for the fish.
