🌞 It's so sunny outside I couldn't even get a decent picture!

Behind the scenes of an aquarium maintenance business.

Even when I'm not working, I'm working!

Sunday was DI resin changing, saltwater mixing and barrel filling for Monday's rounds.

Monday was a Bank Holiday, but the fish don't know that!

Today, towel washing, bucket sanitising and end of financial year admin.

Now, I couldn't miss out on the sun for making sure buckets and towels are clean and dry!

We have completed another 3D printed installation.

Even moderately sized reef tanks can accumulate a substantial number of power packs.

Fortunately, our custom-designed brackets, crafted by my wife, provide a practical solution for organisation, elevated storage, and proper airflow.

🎥 New YouTube video is live!

This one follows a full aquarium maintenance day across multiple tanks – from planted and marine systems to filter cleaning, glass cleaning and water changes. It’s a real behind-the-scenes look at what goes into keeping aquariums healthy and stable.

If you enjoy seeing how I work, want practical maintenance insight, or just like watching aquariums at their best, I’d love for you to give it a watch 👇

I’ve just uploaded a new video over on YouTube 🎥

This one revisits a reef tank I moved for a customer 18 months ago, starting at home with my own 7ft reef, heading out on a maintenance visit, and finishing with the behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly — from towel and bucket cleaning to RODI maintenance.

If you enjoy seeing what goes on beyond the glass, I’d really appreciate you heading over, having a watch, and subscribing to the channel.

🎥 New on YouTube!

I’ve just uploaded my first proper YouTube video and I’d really appreciate your support.

This one follows three aquarium visits on New Year’s Eve — a turtle tank, a first visit to a new reef tank, and a tank prepared for a university project that changed plans. It’s very much a day in the life of what I do behind the scenes.

If you enjoy the work I do on your tank (or just like aquarium content), please click the link, give it a watch and subscribe to the channel — it really helps more people find MB Aquariums.

Thanks as always for the continued support 🙌🐠

🧽 Time for a prefilter sponge replacement on this Oase filter.

The old sponge had become compressed and clogged, meaning it wasn’t trapping debris properly or allowing the filter to work at full efficiency. A worn-out prefilter can reduce flow, increase waste buildup, and put extra strain on the main filter media.

As you can see from the new vs old picture, a fresh prefilter sponge makes a huge difference — helping keep the water clearer, the filter healthier, and the fish happier.

Regular filter maintenance is one of the simplest ways to avoid bigger issues down the line.
