Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Prices start at $100 depending on the size of the aquarium.
For saltwater aquariums we charge $2 a gallon in addition to the base service.
Check out our Aquarium Service page for more details.
Short answer is unmatched quality, service, and affordability.
Long answer: Reef Route Aquatics isn’t driven by money. This company started on accident. We started out by helping others on the internet for free. Our original goal was to improve the hobby by assisting and growing the hobby. We didn’t start charging until we were asked to come into a home or business to perform actual physical work. We are always looking to add more value to what we do, and when you start out by loving and helping, the service can’t be compared. Our aquarium service is unmatched!
Unfortunately, we can’t give a quote until we see the amount of work that needs to be done. Our service agreements and UP-TO pricing are based on regular visits for aquarium maintain on the system. If an aquarium hasn’t been serviced for a long time, it could mean a lot more work.
I use lawn, or grass cutting as the best example. If it costs $30 a week to maintain your yard, and you let it go for a month? It’s a whole new job to get it back to that level again. Same can be said for aquarium cleaning.
YES! However, prices may vary due to different situations, conditions, and additional responsibilities. Aquarium maintenance sometimes has other challenges versus residential.
Our lowest price for regular Aquarium service is $90.00 and up. Aquarium cleaning requirements will be discussed at the time of your free consultation.

INSTALLATION FAQ'S
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
As long as the size is reasonable, under 125 gallons, and not in a place of concern? No additional action is required. However, if you want to go really big, we may bring in a structural engineer to evaluate the structure and determine if additional work is needed to support the aquarium installation.
In some cases, we would need a written statement from your landlord, or leasing company stating the restrictions of an aquarium, if needed at all? Some property owners are against them, most don’t care, but we highly recommend researching renters’ insurance, and contacting the landlord or management company for details.
We offer leasing agreements in most cases. Doctor offices, and professional settings are a little different from residential, but all that can be addressed in your free consultation.
Reef Route Aquatics is a premier installer. Check out our Installations page and schedule your free consultation today!
The short answer is an incomplete nitrogen cycle. Ammonia, and nitrite are deadly to fish and invertebrates. Setting up an aquarium correctly can make all the difference in the success of an aquarium.
AQUARIUM MOVING RELOCATION FAQ'S
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
In most cases we cannot. Due to certain state laws, transporting livestock across state lines is touchy, and a legal nightmare for small businesses.
Unfortunately, there is no price list or scale that allows us to suggest a price. Aquarium size, type of aquarium will all play a part in deciding the final cost of moving.
PLANTED AQUARIUM FAQ'S
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We do service planted tanks, but pricing will be given based on the amount of work needed to maintain the system, and keeping the plants happy, healthy, and green. Your aquarium service will be based on your free consultation. Stop by our Planted Tank service section for more info.

REEF TANK FAQ'S
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We absolutely service reef aquariums! Any type, any setup, we’re on it!
As far as pricing is concerned, that’s determined with a free consultation. Because there are so many different types of aquarium setups, it’s difficult to lock down a price. A soft coral system would obviously take less to maintain. While a SPS system may require biweekly visits. Again, that would all be worked out and agreed upon at the time of your free consultation. Check out our Reef Tank Service section.
Yes. We can monitor your aquarium for you, and make sure it’s setup correctly. This is a service we provide, and additional pricing will be decided with level of responsibility. Aquarium monitoring isn’t that new, and we’ve already grown with knowledge, and how to work around some of the quirks.
POND INSTALLATION AND DESIGN FAQ'S
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
According to Home Advisor, anywhere between $2.50 to $7.15 per square foot.
However, we may be over or under depending on the situation.
We will provide you a quote regardless, and asses the area properly. Consultations are free and at no cost to you.
ADDITIONAL FEES FAQ'S
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
A lot of time is spent to prepare for our customers service. That time and effort could have been better used to prep for a different customer, or saved us gas and travel time.
Each customer will be handled on a case to case basis. If one of our customers experiences a life altering situation, or emergency, we won’t add to it with a cancellation fee. Life happens and we understand that.
