Twice Weekly Seafood Tank Maintenance

Due to the high livestock turnover within this busy restaurant, the seafood tank receives professional aquarium maintenance visits twice each week. Our seafood holding tank maintenance service includes:

  • Checking livestock health and behaviour
  • Monitoring and testing water quality parameters
  • Inspecting and cleaning chillers, roller filters, flow pumps and return pumps
  • Servicing the UV sterilising unit, RowaPhos reactor and reverse osmosis (RO) system
  • Cleaning aquarium glass, lids, substrate and visible surfaces
  • Carrying out regular water changes to remove waste and debris
  • Checking lighting systems and timer settings

Regular seafood tank servicing helps maintain healthy shellfish, stable water chemistry and crystal-clear presentation standards for commercial restaurant displays.

Three-Month Seafood Tank Servicing

To prevent algae growth and maintain the aquarium’s bright white appearance, the RowaPhos reactor requires specialist servicing every three months. This includes:

  • Replacement of RowaPhos media
  • Deep cleaning of the reactor system
  • Inspection of phosphate control performance

Six-Month UV Steriliser Maintenance

The UV sterilising system plays a vital role in reducing algae and harmful pathogens within the seafood holding tank. Every six months we:

  • Replace UV steriliser lights
  • Inspect quartz sleeves and fittings
  • Test system performance to maintain germicidal efficiency

Annual Commercial Seafood Tank Maintenance

Every 12 months, the TEKO lobster chillers are removed and returned to the manufacturer for:

  • Re-gassing
  • Filter replacement
  • Full operational servicing

During annual maintenance visits, all return pumps and flow pumps are also:

  • Stripped and inspected
  • Professionally cleaned
  • Repaired or fitted with replacement parts where necessary
