Custom Designed Aquariums

You’re in your living room lying on the couch. The music is playing softly and you hear the water gently flowing. As you look up you see “therapy” - tropical fish swimming with their vibrant colors, red, blue, orange - finally you’re relaxed.

Custom aquariums and the quest for keeping tropical fish alive and thriving have played a part in homeowner’s lives for years. More and more frequently these days homebuilders are installing customized aquarium systems into new and existing homes. Aquariums can be placed just about anywhere imaginable. Room dividers, kitchen centerpieces, family and great rooms are all popular locations.

Careful thought and pre-planning are the first step. Choose an area that will accomodate the filtration and lighting as well as the tank. Generally common traffic areas with a place to relax and watch the fish is best. In new construction, drainage and ventilation can easily be built in - more planning may be necessary in an existing home. Your builder and an aquarium installation expert can help with making all of your plans become a reality!!

A custom designed aquarium is a relaxing, educational, interactive piece of living art - a valuable addition to your home and life.
