Why is servicing so important?

All aquariums require regular care in order to preserve their beauty and health. Have you seen a tank which has obviously been ignored? They might as well not have it!

Fish give off waste products (ammonia) which, if unattended, will quickly poison all occupants. Filters manage this waste problem by converting ammonia to nitrite (still deadly) then nitrate (arguably non-toxic). Sounds good - but if the filter is not routinely managed it will not do its job and will eventually give off toxic waste itself.

An aquarium's water parameters shift as time progresses. These shifts must be monitored and regulated. If left unattended your fish will eventually be swimming in acid!

Even with the filters and water parameters under control, waste and toxins will still accumulate with time. They must be removed by partial water changes - regularly.

Your aquarium's equipment is mechanical. Lights, filters, heaters, pumps and feeders all fail at some point in time. They need to be checked, cleaned and adjusted regularly.

Gravel accumulates toxins. It needs to be cleaned.

Essential water elements are constantly being consumed by your aquarium inhabitants. They all must be replenished.

All of these tasks, plus generally cleaning up, needs to be done regularly. But, with the best of intentions, many aquarium owners ignore their duty. That is when Aquarium Leasing Specialists can help. We save you time. Neither you nor your staff need tend the aquarium.
