SeaLife can create a program that fits anyone’s service requirements and budget. We can service your aquarium twice weekly, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Because of the sensitivity of a reef environment, we service them weekly. We recommend a weekly or bi-weekly service for fish only systems. We will visit your aquarium with a free consultation before we formally write up a quote. Below is a list (but not limited to) of tasks we perform:

- 10% water change using Seachem’s Reef salt and RO/DI freshwater

For SeaLife's clients, we offer a couple of different programs that are included as a benefit of being a SeaLife client.
The Decorative Coral Exchange Program is designed to give your aquarium a different scene. Each time the aquarium is serviced, your coral will be replaced with other decorative coral.
The Insurance for Fish/Coral Program is designed to help cover expenses on fish/coral. If a fish/coral is purchased at regular retail price from SeaLife, that fish/coral is insured for one month. If at any time within a month the fish/coral dies, you will receive full credit of the cost of the deceased fish/coral which will be used toward the purchase of another fish/coral. This benefit is eligible only for clients with weekly and bi-weekly service programs.
Not only do they keep our aquarium sparkling clean, he is always on time.
