Reef eScape is proud to offer professional aquarium maintenance services for tanks of all sizes. Since we first opened our doors, we've managed hundreds of aquariums and tens of thousands of gallons of saltwater and freshwater in Northern Virginia, the greater D.C. Metro, throughout Southern and Eastern Maryland, and the metropolitan Baltimore area.

How to Tell If Professional Aquarium Maintenance Is Right for You

If you've purchased a tank for your home, professional maintenance might be a smart investment if:

  • You frequently travel for business or pleasure and can't be certain that you'll be home to care for your aquarium as needed.
  • You're worried you'll forget an important detail and put the health of your fish at risk.
  • You purchased your tank to help you relax—and the thought of adding maintenance tasks to your to-do list is stressing you out.

If you're a business owner, you may want to consider professional maintenance service if:

  • You've purchased a tank for your business, but none of your employees feel equipped to keep it properly maintained.
  • You've tried to handle maintenance on your own, but it's taking away from your day-to-day responsibilities.
  • Your customers or clients love admiring the fish in your tank—and you don't want algae blooms or other maintenance issues to detract from this crowd-pleasing addition to your office space.
