MaintenanceA routine maintenance schedule is paramount in maintaining a successful marine aquarium. More to often people are so busy with their daily lives that they neglect their maintenance schedule, resulting in death of fish or the possibility of a disaster "wipe out". However, with a regular maintenance schedule from Aquaman's Reef, you can rest assured your inhabitants will be provided with a healthy, bright and clean environment.

Listed below is the 17 point checklist performed by Aquaman's Reef.

1. Check general appearance of reef.
2. Visual check of fish for disease, head count and swimming behavior.
3. Visual check of functioning filters, heaters, lights and other apparatus.

5. Test water chemistry. (Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Temperature, Salinity, pH, Alkalinity, Calcium, Phosphates)
6. Clean decorative items if needed.

7. Clean protein skimmer.
