Commercial and residential aquariums require maintenance which directly effects the health of the inhabitants and beauty of the display. Your aquarium provides the greatest pleasure when it is fresh, clean and well managed by Cultured Aquatic Life, LLC. We do service both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, but we specialize in reefs. We are professional, experienced and dependable. We maintain aquariums that range from 30 gallons to 2400 gallons. We carry all the necessary supplies for a healthy and successful aquarium.

We also consult for the design of new or upgraded systems and do professional installations at competitive pricing.

We offer our service to businesses and individuals that want an attractive feature for the office, place of business, or home. It is not for people who are looking to avoid the responsibilities of having a tank. Daily feeding, evaporated water replenishment, and some common aquatic sense will be required with our service. Your responsibility is basically as easy as watching over indoor house plants.

If you need someone to call when your tank needs help; need advice on fish selection; require help with removing unsuitable specimens … and you are willing to pay for the service; then a Tank Maintenance Service Contract may be for you.

A tank maintenance service will not insure or warrantee your system, nor will it defray your overall costs. It will insure the best treatment and products are used to keep your investment manageable.
