What to know about Aquariums
Aquarium specialists design, set up and look after home aquariums: a freshwater tank on a cabinet stand, a planted display, a saltwater reef system with its filtration hidden in a sump below, or a tank built into a wall between two rooms. Setting up is only the start. The work also covers filtration, heating and lighting, establishing the biological filter before fish arrive, stocking gradually, and coming back on a schedule to test the water, clean and keep the equipment running.

Aquarium permits in Ontario
Some aquarium work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Ontario
Electrical work
Only a Licensed Electrical Contractor can be hired to do electrical work in your home, and the work must be reported to ESA through a notification (permit). A building permit doesn’t replace it. Ask for the contractor’s ECRA/ESA licence number before you hire.

Common aquarium questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
