What the service covers

01

In-home consultation

We visit your space and help select the ideal tank position, considering lighting, vibration and access to water and power. Discuss the look you have in mind and get advice on a layout that suits the room.

02

Custom aquascaping

Select substrate, driftwood and rocks to match your vision. We choose live aquatic plants for the lighting and tank type, and arrange a natural layout with both appearance and fish comfort in mind.

03

Equipment installation

Set up filtration, lighting, heating or cooling, and optional CO₂ equipment. Installation includes tidy cable routing and a walkthrough so you understand how to use your aquarium equipment.

04

Water preparation & cycling

Prepare the water with conditioners and beneficial bacteria, and discuss cycling before livestock is introduced. We balance pH, GH and KH for the species you plan to keep and explain the process in straightforward terms.

Do I need to prepare anything for the consultation?

Let us know the area where you would like the aquarium. We assess the space during the visit and bring the tools and experience to help you choose the location. Photos and any existing tank dimensions are useful when you enquire.
