About Our Aquarium Installation Services
An aquarium is a miniature ecosystem providing a safe and comfortable home for the aquatic creatures you've selected, but setting up your tank can be tricky. For example, you'll want to avoid putting your aquarium in direct sunlight, near a heat source, or in a drafty area. It must also be in a level spot with a main electrical outlet nearby.
Reef eScape's professional installation services can help ensure your tank is ready to provide years of enjoyment. We will:
- Inspect the flooring in the area where placement is desired to ensure the area can handle the weight of the aquarium
- Evaluate the lighting in the area you've selected
- Look for hidden hazards that could be a safety risk for livestock or the occupants of your home or business
- Inspect the support of the aquarium itself
- Ensure space for proper filtration
- Fill the tank and test water quality
- Ensure the tank is level
- Introduce livestock to their new home
While we are happy to offer advice to help alleviate any concerns you have about caring for your setup, we recommend that those who want to enjoy a stress-free aquarium experience consider investing in one of our regular maintenance plans. We'll handle all the tasks needed to ensure your aquarium stays in top condition, so you can focus on simply enjoying the newest addition to your home or business.
Prices for aquarium installation will depend on the size of your tank and the complexity of the desired setup.
