Why Choose Aquarium Xpress
How It Works
A straightforward process from first contact to ongoing service.
System Evaluation
We assess your reef's current parameters, equipment, coral health, and livestock. This gives us a baseline and lets us identify any immediate concerns.
Parameter Baseline & Plan
We establish target ranges for your specific coral mix — SPS, LPS, and soft corals have different demands — and build a maintenance plan around those targets.
Regular Maintenance Visits
Each visit covers full parameter testing, water changes with RODI saltwater, equipment checks, coral inspection, and algae control.
Dosing & Chemistry Adjustments
We adjust your dosing regimen visit-to-visit based on parameter trends, coral uptake, and system changes to keep chemistry stable between visits.
Detailed Visit Reports
You receive a written parameter log and service notes after every visit so you can track your reef's health over time.
