How Long Does Aquarium Maintenance Take?

A standard maintenance session typically takes about an hour, while water change days may require one to two hours, depending on your tank’s size, setup, and livestock. Please note there is a minimum one-hour service charge.

By staying consistent with aquarium care, you can ensure a thriving, vibrant underwater ecosystem and protect your investment for years to come.

Coral Reef Aquariums: A Closed Box Window to the Ocean

Coral reef aquariums are incredible miniature ecosystems — closed boxes designed to mimic the beauty and complexity of the ocean. From vibrant corals and swaying anemones to colorful fish and invertebrates, a well-built reef tank brings the wonders of marine life right into your home or office.

But behind their tranquil beauty lies a delicate balance. Since reef tanks are closed systems, everything from water chemistry and temperature to lighting and nutrient levels must be carefully maintained. Unlike the ocean, where natural processes regulate the environment, aquarists must replicate those conditions through filtration, dosing, and expert care.

A successful reef tank isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about creating a stable, thriving environment where every organism plays a role. When done right, the result is nothing short of magical: a living seascape that evolves over time and offers a daily connection to the ocean's mystery and majesty.

Whether you're a passionate hobbyist or new to the world of marine aquariums, coral reef tanks are a stunning reminder of nature's brilliance — all within the glass walls of a carefully curated box.

  • I've worked with Reef Tank Design for the last three years and my experience has been nothing but positive. Coral and Fish supply is top notch, with only the healthiest specimens on offer - which is tough to say for some of the other vendors in the area. What this company does is truly exceptional - whether you have a 200gal established tank, starting a brand new 50gal living room hobby tank or a small 10gal tank to get introduced to the hobby - you're gonna have someone who truly cares about the animals taking care of you. Reef Tank Design handled a 75 gallon and a 10 gallon tank of mine and both absolutely flourished. Including some photos of the tanks so you can see the results from working with this amazing team! Corals, Fish, Rock work design, plumbing, quarantine, water changes, ATO's - really anything you might need, these guys handle with care and passion.

  • I always wanted a really nice saltwater reef tank. However, I knew that I didn’t have the skills and know how to make it run properly. I knew that I needed a reef tank expert. Someone to make sure all the elements run well and that the water is chemically balanced. I also wanted someone who can design the rocks and corals to be beautiful aesthetically and to advise me on the right species of fish to get. Enter Anton Canatan with Reef Tank Design. Anton was recommended to me by a friend. I’m so happy that Anton has come into my life. He has educated me so much about the saltwater fish and reef tank hobby. He is a true professional who really cares about every tank he services. He also has a deep love of all the living things in the aquarium. He also goes the extra mile (or two), to keep everything in my aquarium happy and healthy. Anton has taken my aquarium from a tank just filled with rocks, to a beautiful reef tank filled with beautiful corals and fish. I LOVE it! I can’t stop looking at it. Also, personally Anton is a great guy! Very kind, funny, personable, responsible and intelligent. We’ve become good friends actually. I really look forward to his weekly visits to my home. If you so desire to get into the salt water aquarium hobby, I highly recommend Anton with Reef Tank Design. You won’t be sorry and you’ll enjoy this hobby even more with Anton leading you the way.
