Your tank.Our hands.Every parameter, every day.
Marine biologist-staffed suites for reef colonies, planted aquascapes, and rare livestock — while you travel, relocate, or cycle a new build.
Walk the corridor. Every tank, a different world.
SPS, LPS & Soft Coral Boarding
Blue-spectrum suites calibrated to 1.025 sg
Every reef suite runs Apex controllers with automated dosing of two-part, kalkwasser, and trace elements. Your SPS frags and LPS colonies maintain the exact parameters you've dialed in — we match your tank's chemistry before your livestock arrives.
- Apex Neptune controller per suite
- Automated two-part & kalk dosing
- Radion XR30 Gen 6 LED lighting
- Daily manual inspection by marine biologist
Dutch & Amano Aquascape Care
CO₂, ferts, and photoperiod — kept to your schedule
Planted tank care requires precision timing. We maintain your injected CO₂ at the pH drop you've calibrated, dose EI or Estimative Index fertilizers on your schedule, and keep photoperiod within minutes of your home timer. Hairgrass stays carpeted. Stems stay trimmed.
- Pressurized CO₂ with solenoid timers
- EI or custom fert dosing protocol
- Full-spectrum planted LED (6,500K)
- Weekly trim for high-tech layouts
Biosecure Holding for Rare Arrivals
From wild-caught discus to F0 plecos — held clean
Shipping stress, ich, velvet, and bacterial infections kill more rare fish than bad husbandry. Our quarantine suites run copper-treated or fallow protocols based on your species and seller source. We document every day of hold with photos and parameter logs sent directly to you.
- Species-appropriate copper or fallow protocol
- Daily photo documentation sent to owner
- Minimum 4-week hold with full clear criteria
- Acclimation by drip or float per species
Every parameter. Logged every hour.
Our Apex Neptune controller network logs pH, salinity, temperature, and ORP continuously. You get a shared dashboard link the day your livestock arrives.
Every boarding suite has a dedicated IP camera. Log in from any device to watch your fish in real time.

"I shipped my 240-gallon SPS tank to Tankside while relocating from Austin to Seattle. They matched my Apex programming exactly — same photoperiod, same two-part schedule. Three months later my Acropora colonies had new growth. I've never trusted a facility this much."
"My Dutch-style tank has 22 stem plant species. I've had daycare services before where the CO₂ got cut off for two days and I lost my whole carpet. Tankside sent me a photo every morning. The riccia was pearling when I picked it up."
"I bought an F0 L333 pleco from a breeder in Germany. 36-hour shipping. Tankside ran a 6-week quarantine, documented every day, and cleared it clean before it went into my main tank. That fish is now $800 and breeding. The hold paid for itself."
