Maintenance in aquarium

Water easily finds its way to go out, that is why tanks tend to leak.
In public aquarium, you have two different ways to proceed when it happens :
– In dry condition : you remove first living things and then water for maintenance.
– In wet condition : divers can fix the leak with minimum disturbance.

In general, the approach chosen depends on the volume of the tank.
– When it concerns a small capacity tank, it is less complex and more economic to empty it to carry out the maintenance
– On the contrary, when it is a large volume tank, it is better to keep it filled and work underwater because it is less complex and more economic.

Detecting a leak is a game of patience. While an important leak will take less time to discover, a tiny leak will be hard to find.

A piece of art designed by Dale Chihuly stands under an acrylic panel. Above this window, there are tons of water for a swimming pool. We were called for a leak. For preventing any damage on the artwork, we intervened in emergency. Temporary repairs have permitted to protect the work of art before definitive works.
