Reef Aquarium Service
Expert reef tank maintenance, ICP water testing, PAR mapping, aquarium monitoring, and digital service reporting for reef aquariums throughout Middle Tennessee.
Reef aquariums are among the most rewarding aquarium systems to own, but they are also the most demanding. Unlike freshwater aquariums, reef systems require careful management of alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nutrients, lighting intensity, water flow, and trace elements.
Even small fluctuations can negatively impact coral growth, coloration, and livestock health. Our professional reef aquarium service focuses on maintaining long-term stability so your aquarium continues to thrive.

Water chemistry is the foundation of every successful reef aquarium. We provide advanced testing and parameter tracking to identify problems before they become livestock losses.
Our monitoring service provides an additional layer of protection for your aquarium. We review system data, monitor trends, and identify developing issues before they become emergencies.
Proper lighting is critical for coral health. PAR mapping identifies light intensity throughout your aquarium and helps ensure corals are placed in the appropriate zones for optimal growth.
After every visit, clients receive a detailed digital service report through AquaticLog.
Reports include water parameters, livestock observations, completed maintenance tasks, equipment notes, recommendations, photographs, and historical aquarium data.
This level of transparency allows clients to see exactly what was performed and track the long-term health of their aquarium.
