Aquarium Maintenance Services You Can Count On
Owning an aquarium should be a source of relaxation, not stress. But between water changes, filtration upkeep, and keeping your water chemistry balanced, maintaining a healthy tank takes time and expertise. That's where we come in.
At Discover Aquatics, we provide comprehensive aquarium maintenance services for hobbyists and businesses throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Whether you have a planted freshwater community tank, a thriving reef system, or a stunning saltwater display, our experienced team delivers the consistent, professional care your aquarium needs to flourish.
Saltwater Aquarium Maintenance
Saltwater aquariums are stunning—and demanding. The margin for error is smaller, the equipment is more complex, and the livestock is more sensitive to water quality fluctuations. Professional saltwater aquarium maintenance helps ensure your investment stays healthy and beautiful.
Whether you keep a fish-only saltwater tank, a mixed reef, or an SPS-dominant system pushing the limits of coral care, we have the experience to maintain it properly. We understand protein skimmer tuning, calcium reactor management, and the delicate balance reef tanks require.
Our saltwater maintenance clients benefit from our direct access to quality marine livestock and corals. When it's time to add to your collection, you're already connected to a source you can trust.
Freshwater Aquarium Maintenance
Freshwater aquariums offer incredible diversity, from simple community tanks to elaborate planted aquascapes and specialized setups for cichlids, discus, or predatory species. Each type of freshwater system has unique maintenance requirements.
Our freshwater aquarium maintenance service is customized to your specific setup. Planted tanks receive careful attention to fertilization, CO2 systems, and plant health. High-bioload cichlid tanks may need more frequent water changes and aggressive filtration maintenance.
We've been keeping and selling freshwater fish for years, and we understand what it takes to maintain thriving freshwater aquariums in our local water conditions.
