Coral Reef Aquariums Maintenance Service

When you elect Coral Reef Aquarium to install your new saltwater aquarium your cycle time will be much faster. We use premium live sand, cured live rock, bacteria additives and premixed RO/DI saltwater that dramatically reduces the cycle time. Cycle time is the time period that your new underwater world undergoes the building of good bacteria called the nitogen cycle.

Normal cycle time can be 6 - 8 weeks however with our professional installation services our cycle time many times is only 3-4 weeks. This also depends on the equipment selection and the use of adaquate live rock. We highly recommend a Mud Filter using Miracle Mud, which provides continual trace elements and disposal of harmful Nitrates. Using Miracle Mud reduces tha amout of live rock required in a typical reel aquarium. In a fish only system it provides the same benefits as a reef aquarium as well as a healthier eco system for fish.
