Aquarium Maintenance — Every 10 Days

Three visits a month, one every ten days. It is the odd-looking cadence on the sheet, and it is the one I would put most marine systems on. The arithmetic is simple.

On a fortnightly schedule your tank goes fourteen days between anyone trained looking at it. Fourteen days is enough for an auto-top-off to fail, a heater to stick, or alkalinity in a stocked reef to drift far enough to burn coral tissue. At every ten days the unseen gap never grows past ten — short enough that problems get caught while they are still adjustments, not losses.

What every visit includes

• Full parameter panel — logged, trended, and sent to you after every visit
• Equipment checked and consumables swapped on schedule, before they fail
• Livestock delivered and installed into your system from our quarantined-to-order program
• Priority answers and unlimited between-visit callouts

The guarantee

Livestock our team installs on this plan carries a 2-month live guarantee. We chose the animal, quarantined it, installed it, and we see the water it lives in three times a month — so we stand behind it, full stop.

Pricing — by system type and water volume

All prices are per month.

Over 300 gallons and multi-system homes are quoted per project. Prices cover our core service area around New Milford; further out, ask and we will quote you one blended number.

Every plan begins with a System Audit & Reset — deep clean, full workup, equipment audit, written plan — credited toward your first month when you start service at that visit. Livestock orders over $350 ship free as standard.

Weekly buys the shortest gap there is; all four cadences sit side by side on the services overview.

Ten days is not a compromise between weekly and biweekly. It is the point where a reef's chemistry stops being able to surprise you.
