Get help with cloudy water, fish in distress, filter problems or oxygen loss. Call our Sydney team to explain what is happening and check the next available visit.
What we check
Water change & cleanup
Assess the tank before carrying out a partial water change, vacuuming waste from the gravel and wiping excess algae. Dechlorinators and stabilisers are used as appropriate for the aquarium.
Filtration & oxygen checks
Inspect and clean the filter, check the media and restore water flow where needed. We assess the oxygen supply and can add backup aeration if the aquarium needs it.
Treatment & follow-up advice
Discuss treatment and next steps based on the tank and its livestock. Where appropriate, support may include ammonia conditioners, beneficial bacteria, salt treatment or temperature support following assessment.
