Christine’s Pristine Aquariums

My passion is introducing people to the world of aquariums, as each tank can be a unique work of art. The aquarium industry is filled with good people and worthwhile projects.

While my specialty lies in freshwater aquariums, my skills also extend to saltwater aquariums. I'm willing to assist you in creating the aquarium of your dreams.

To preserve good bacteria, I never do water changes greater than 40%. Additionally, I offer a one-year service package at a 15% discount if paid upfront.

My rates are $1.00 per gallon for freshwater and $1.25 per gallon for saltwater, including canister cleanings at $50, sump cleanings at $75, and smaller filter cleanings at $25.

I've learned that achieving success in the aquarium hobby requires patience and dedication. While setbacks may occur, it's important to persevere.

I stand behind my work and guarantee a full refund for any errors in judgement or equipment failure.

To start a new tank, my consultation fee starts at $800 for freshwater and $700 for saltwater tanks. I also charge a one-time assessment fee of $100.

For your convenience, I offer water delivery services for $1.25 per gallon for freshwater and $1.50 per gallon for saltwater. I also provide tank rentals with accompanying service packages upon request.

Please note that API QUICK START is not a water conditioner, but rather for the introduction of beneficial bacteria only. In emergency situations, use the PRIME brand water conditioner. Additionally, replacing carbon monthly and cleaning canister filters when necessary is essential. Always add good bacteria after any filter changes and avoid overfeeding your fish - every other day is recommended.
