Do you offer consultations for aquarium setup and maintenance?
Yes, we provide specialized consultation services. Whether you're setting up a new system, optimizing an existing one, or facing specific challenges, our team can guide you through every aspect, from design and equipment selection to ongoing maintenance.
Can you help with diagnosing and resolving issues in my aquarium?
Absolutely. Our team can assist in diagnosing issues like water chemistry imbalances, algae problems, coral health concerns, or equipment malfunctions. We provide actionable solutions to resolve these challenges and help prevent them from recurring.
What kind of testing do you offer for water quality?
We conduct comprehensive water testing through our in-house lab managed by Triton UK. Our tests cover all essential trace elements and water parameters needed for fish and coral health, allowing us to create precise dosing plans and maintenance schedules tailored to your system.
Why are live rock and natural seawater important in a new setup?
Live rock and natural seawater offer essential benefits for new systems. Live rock provides biodiversity and boosts biological filtration, while natural seawater is nutrient-rich and biologically diverse, which supports a stable and healthy environment for fish and corals from the start.
How often should I schedule maintenance visits?
The frequency of maintenance visits depends on your specific system and livestock. We typically recommend regular maintenance (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly) to ensure stability, especially in complex or high-bio-load systems. We can customize a maintenance plan based on your needs, budget, and aquarium setup.
Can you advise on selecting fish and corals for my aquarium?
Yes, we provide guidance on sustainable livestock sourcing and species selection to ensure compatibility with your existing setup. We focus on choosing healthy, disease-free specimens from reputable sources and can recommend appropriate stocking plans to prevent overloading your system.
What should I consider when upgrading my aquarium system?
Upgrades can involve changes in lighting, filtration, flow, and other equipment. We evaluate your system’s current performance and make tailored recommendations to enhance its efficiency, stability, and sustainability, all based on your goals and livestock needs.
How can you help maintain water quality and stability?
We use advanced testing methods and provide dosing plans that ensure all trace elements are balanced to support fish and coral health. With access to the latest water testing technology via Triton UK, we can design a custom regimen that keeps your system stable over time.
What equipment do you recommend for a new aquarium setup?
A successful setup requires quality filtration, lighting, and flow suited to your specific livestock. We recommend tested and reliable equipment used in both our personal and client systems. During consultations, we help clients select the best equipment for their unique aquarium needs.
Do you offer training for aquarium maintenance?
Yes, we offer training sessions for individuals or teams on effective maintenance practices. This includes water testing, cleaning protocols, dosing, and basic troubleshooting, allowing you to confidently manage your system between professional maintenance visits.
Can I purchase livestock and supplies from Aquarium Connections?
