Equipment & a steady routine

From empty tank
to everyday care.

Pick an equipment bundle, bring water for a test, or arrange a visit. We agree on the work and price before coming out.

A place to start

10-GALLON EQUIPMENT BUNDLE

A planted corner.

$189

Glass tank, lid, LED light, filter, adjustable heater, thermometer, substrate and water conditioner.

For a small, carefully chosen freshwater setup. We discuss stocking after the tank has cycled.

20-GALLON LONG EQUIPMENT BUNDLE

A little more room.

$289

Glass tank, lid, LED light, filter, adjustable heater, thermometer, substrate and water conditioner.

More floor space for a planted layout and a suitable small schooling species.

Both prices are equipment only. Stands, plants, decorations, fish, test kits and labor are separate. Pick up at the store. Neither bundle is a goldfish setup.

A hand with the water

Counter water test $5

Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH, with written readings. Bring about 4 ounces of tank water in a clean, sealed container with no soap residue. Include tank size, age, temperature and a note of recent changes. Walk in during store hours.

A test is a snapshot of those readings, not a guarantee about fish health.

Setup visit From $120

Up to 90 minutes for a freshwater aquarium up to 40 gallons: place equipment, add substrate and explain the cycling plan. Equipment is separate. You provide a suitable level stand and a working outlet. Fish are not added on setup day.

Maintenance visit From $85

Up to 60 minutes for an established freshwater tank up to 40 gallons: water readings, a partial water change, glass cleaning and a filter check. Replacement parts and supplies are extra, approved first.

Visits every two or four weeks, agreed around the tank’s needs. You handle feeding and between-visit checks. Larger tanks get a written quote.

Visit prices include travel within 10 miles of Maple Crossing. For 10–20 miles, add $20 per visit. We do not schedule visits beyond 20 miles.

Getting started

Can I buy a tank and bring fish home the same day?

We recommend setting up and cycling a new aquarium first. Bring your water readings and ask us to review the plan before choosing fish. The equipment bundle does not include fish.

Let’s work out the next step.

Tell us the tank size and whether you need setup or regular maintenance.
