Algae Growth

If discolored spots have appeared in your tank – along the interior walls, on the decorative elements and substrate, or even on the filtration equipment, for example – that’s a surefire sign of algae growth. Algae growth is the result of heightened levels of phosphates and nitrates in the tank. Generally, these substances aren’t harmful to fish, and they’re actually beneficial to living plants; however, they feed algae, and in high concentrations, they can be toxic to fish. To protect the health of your marine pets and improve the aesthetic appeal of your aquatic display, contact a company that offers fish tank cleaning services in Wantagh, NY.

Gasping Fish

Are your fish swimming along the surface of the water, gasping for air? If so, that’s a definite sign it needs immediate attention. Fish breathe the dissolved oxygen in the water, and when they’re gasping for air at the surface, that’s a telltale sign that there isn’t enough. There are several reasons why oxygen levels may be low; issues with the filtration system and high levels of nitrate or ammonia are among the most common. A reputable professional that offers fish tank cleaning services in Wantagh, NY will perform a comprehensive assessment of your aquarium to determine the cause of the problem, and of course, they’ll thoroughly clean the tank and the filtration system, too. Once the issue has been resolved, the tank has been cleaned, and everything is balanced, oxygen levels should return to normal levels so your marine pets can breathe freely again.

Dying Fish

Fish don’t live forever. Some species do have a longer lifespan than others; however, all varieties do eventually die. With that said, however, while it’s normal to find a dead fish every once in a while, what isn’t normal is finding several deceased fish at the same time – especially if they’re relatively new. If there’s been a sudden and unexpected die-off of fish, a dirty tank could be to blame. Low oxygen levels, high nitrate and phosphate concentrations, and a faulty filter are just some of the factors that could be contributing to the untimely death of your marine pets. While a Wantagh, NY fish tank cleaning service won’t be able to revive the fish you’ve lost, they will be able to address issues with the environment that may have contributed to their loss, creating a healthy environment that will sustain new fish.

Wantagh is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, on Long Island, New York, United States. The population was 18,871 at the time of the 2010 census.

The Wantagh area was inhabited by the Merokee (or Merikoke) tribe of the Metoac Indians prior to the first wave of European settlement in the mid-17th century. The Merokee were part of the greater Montauk tribe that loosely ruled Long Island’s Native Americans. Wantagh was the sachem (chief) of the Merokee tribe in 1647, and was later the grand sachem of the Montauk tribe from 1651 to 1658. The Dutch settlers came east from their New Amsterdam colony, and English settlers came south from Connecticut and Massachusetts settlements. When the English and Dutch settled their competing claims to Long Island in the 1650 treaty conducted in Hartford, the Dutch partition included all lands west of Oyster Bay and thus the Wantagh area. Long Island then was ceded to the Duke of York in 1663-64, but then fell back into Dutch hands after the Dutch regained New York in 1673. The Treaty of Westminster in 1674 settled the land claims once and for all, incorporating Long Island into the now-British colony of New York.

Early settler accounts refer to Wantagh as “Jerusalem”, although earlier accounts refer to the area as “Wantagh”. The creek running north-south through Wantagh, and which has been covered up in many places but is still visible between the Wantagh Parkway and the housing developments west of Wantagh Avenue, was originally the Jerusalem River. The original post office was built in 1837, for Jerusalem, but mail service from Brooklyn began around 1780. The town’s first school was established in 1790. At some time around the 1880s, Jerusalem was renamed Ridgewood, and the town’s original LIRR station was named “Ridgewood Station”. Later, Ridgewood was renamed Wantagh to avoid confusion with another town in New York State with the same name.

Wantagh, NY

George Washington rode through Jerusalem on April 21, 1790, as part of his 5-day tour of Long Island. The Daughters of the American Revolution have placed a plaque on Hempstead Turnpike to commemorate Washington’s travels, which took him from Hempstead on Jerusalem Road (now North Jerusalem Road) to Jerusalem, on to Merrick Road. He then went on to head east, then circle back west on the north shore. During the Revolutionary War, British ships traveled up Jones inlet and came ashore to raid Jerusalem farms.

FAQ

How Much Does A Custom Aquarium Cost?

The cost of a display aquarium varies depending on the material you choose, the size and shape of the tank, and more. A wide range of costs is about $750 to $7000. Costs increase with the size and height of the tank.

What's The Best Shape For An Aquarium?

The best tanks are always large rectangular ones. Fish will live longer and healthier lives if they have plenty of water to swim in.

Are Glass Or Acrylic Aquariums Cheaper?

The cost of manufacturing and transporting acrylic is less than that of glass. However, a glass aquarium is still cheaper than an acrylic aquarium. The most popular aquariums are made of glass.

Do Fish Prefer Long Or Tall Tanks?

Most fish require room to move laterally (side-to-side), which is highly restricted by tall, narrow tanks. A tall aquarium leaves very little open space when plants and other decorations are added. Therefore, longer tanks are much better than taller tanks.
