Tell me more about Fish tank manHi there, I'm Chris and have 20 years' experience looking after fish. Lots of my customers call me the Fish Tank Man. I can help you keep a clean, healthy and hassle free fish tank in Hertfordshire, Middlesex, North and North West London. I have a First Class diploma from Animal Care college and at 15 years old started working in an aquarium shop and started helping people at their homes and businesses with common aquarium issues. I've never looked back. Helping people with their fish tanks has made me aware of just how confusing and sometimes difficult an aquarium may be to a beginner or people with busy lives. Conflicting advice from your local fish store, different types of equipment, water chemistry and maintenance is just the start. All aquariums are their own little world and all act differently to one another, and so what might work for someone may not entirely work for you. it is my job to make it work.

Can you clean my fish tank or filter for me?Yes I carry out full clean so you can sit back and enjoy your aquarium. Usually this means a bi-weekly or monthly clean for clients, but it all depends on your tank size and the amount of fish you have. When I clean, this ranges from: - testing water quality - water changes - treating cloudy or foul smelling water - cleaning glass inside and out - algea cleaning - substrate/ gravel/ sand cleaning and vacuuming - filter cleaning - cleaning and caring for plants and ornaments - aquarium light cleaning -servicing of pumps and external filter hose cleaning.

Rob, Mill Hill
We have used Chris now for a number of years and have always found his work to be of the highest standard . He is able to get us food and other pieces of equipment so I don't have to worry. Great job.

Karen, Hatchend
Our neighbours use Chris to clean their tank and I always love going across the road as it's a real eye catcher. Chris came round and installed us a beautiful tank and maintains it every month for us. Great service and highly professional.

Pete, Stanmore
Chris has been cleaning our tank now for at least 10 years and has been most reliable throughout, even throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. I highly recommend him.
