Aquarium maintenance in Sheffield
Keeping your tankclean and healthy.
Tanks need regular, unexciting work to stay clear. We'll do it for you, as a one-off when things have slipped or regularly so they don't.
How we do it
Little jobs, done regularly.
Water quality drifts, filters clog, the glass clouds over and plants outgrow the tank. None of it happens overnight, which is exactly why it's easy to fall behind.
Regular visits keep on top of it before it turns into a bigger problem. We do the routine work and tell you if we spot anything that needs your attention.
What's included
What a visit usually covers
Water changes
Partial water changes with treated water at the right temperature.
Glass and lids
Cleaning the glass inside and out, and wiping down lids and lights.
Filter cleaning
Cleaning the filter carefully, without killing off the bacteria your tank relies on.
Gravel and sand
Removing waste and debris from the substrate where the layout allows.
Equipment checks
Making sure the heater, lights, pumps and pipework are all working properly.
Plant trimming
Trimming and tidying plants so the layout stays healthy and in proportion.
Good for
- People who'd rather spend less time cleaning the tank
- Tanks that have got away from you and need sorting
- Business tanks that need to look right every day
- Anyone who's inherited a tank and isn't sure what to do
How it works
From first message to finished job.
Step 1
Tell us about the tank
Roughly how big it is (litres or measurements), what's in it and how it's been looked after.
Step 2
We quote by the litre
We work out the price from the size and agree whether one visit or regular care suits best.
Step 3
We look after it
We do the agreed work and tell you what we found.
Pricing
Priced by the litre.
Maintenance is priced on the size of your tank. A bigger tank means more water to change, more glass to clean and more time, so the price follows the litres. One-off cleans and regular visits are both worked out this way.
Know the size in litres? Pop it in the form. If not, length × width × height is fine and we'll work it out.
Also available by enquiry
Tank not quite right?
Cloudy water, a filter that can't keep up, or a setup that never really came together? Tell us about it. We can come and have a look and suggest what to change.
- Cloudy or green water
- Filter problems
- Setups that need improving
- General advice
This is arranged by enquiry. It isn't an emergency call-out service, and we can't diagnose fish health problems remotely.

FAQ
Common questions.

Because the size of the tank is what decides how much work there is: how much water to change, how much glass to clean and how long the visit takes. It keeps quotes fair and easy to understand. If you don't know your tank's volume, send us the measurements.
Yes, regular visits or one-off cleans. For regular care we'll suggest how often based on your tank, and agree it with you before we start.
It depends on the size, the filter, how many fish there are and whether it's planted. Plenty of tanks do well with a visit every week or two. We'll suggest a routine that suits yours.
We're based in Sheffield and work across the city. If you're further out, send us your postcode and we'll let you know.
