Continual Maintenance

One of the more essential services that we offer our clients is the continual maintenance of the physical system. Your aquarium is not just a glass cage for fish and coral, but instead, it is a complex ecosystem with multiple independent variables, all of which influence the appearance and the future success of the system.

At the end of the day, we are here to ensure your success in this hobby and to educate you in the process.

Custom Aquarium Design

Miami Reef Aquariums is fully equipped and ready to meet the needs or desires of any customer wanting to build a new aquarium, from scratch, for their home or business. Our staff are experts in designing on both analog and digital design platforms and will work with you to build the aquarium of your dreams.

Fabrication & Installation

Once you have decided to go ahead with a particular design, our expert Glazier will begin building your tank, using our designs to bring your dream aquarium to life. Once fabrication is completed and silicone has been given proper time to cure, the aquarium is ready for installation. We will personally coordinate the move with you to assure that everything is installed and in place as quickly and smoothly as possible. We will also gladly help move and install any standard or "plug and play" aquarium you may already have in mind.

Initial Setup

Once your custom or standard aquarium is in place, it is now time to fill the aquarium with water, live-rock, and sand; as well as installing all necessary mechanical components such as algae filters, skimmers, pumps, powerheads, filter media, and lighting.

Before we are finished with the installation, we promise that your aquarium will be full, running, and ready to be one step closer to putting all the coral and fish that you desire to have in your new reef tank.

Getting Off On The Right Foot

Along with setting up everything associated with your tank, we pride ourselves in knowing that our clients are going to encounter much success in their future pursuits in the hobby of reef keeping. We promise to treat you like family and to treat your tank as if it were our own. There are many ways in which one can lose money and patience in this hobby and we are here to make sure that the process is an enjoyable one. At the end of the day, our goal is your happiness.

What is Maintenance and why would you need it done on your aquarium?

Once you have an aquarium in your home, especially in the beginning of the aquariums life, it is important to maintain the system regularly and consistently. It is important to ensure that your system stays on course from the beginning. Regular maintenance mainly consists of two major components, both consisting of several separate steps. These two components are; consistent chemical analysis and physical cleaning of the separate components of the aquarium

Chemical analysis of water parameters

Monitoring the levels of water parameters in the aquarium is arguably the most important single variable determining to the future health and success of your aquarium. Elements such as Ca+2, CO3(2-), Mg2+ (as well as a handful of others) are some of the most important ions in the aquarium, which are essential to the growth of your corals and invertebrates. Consistent and meticulous monitoring of the chemicals in the aquarium is necessary in order to maintain these ions inappropriate levels. Here at Miami Reef Aquariums, we fully appreciate the importance of monitoring and maintaining these water parameters with the utmost accuracy.

Physical cleaning of the aquarium

Once the chemical analysis of the aquarium is completed, then the physical cleaning of the system is next. This may include but is not limited to:

cleaning algae off the glass, background, spray-bars, and other necessary equipment.
siphoning out large particulates and macro/microalgae from the aquarium.
removing original aquarium water to be exchanged with new water.
the cleaning of nuisance algae from algae scrubbers and other components located in the sump of the aquarium.
dosing the aquarium with any essential chemicals or trace elements.
