Planning a Custom Aquarium

Outlined below are some of the key issues that should be addressed in the early stages of planning a new display.

       

 

 
bulletLocation - Avoid direct sunlight. Ambient room lighting is fine. Minimize proximity to heating or air conditioning ducts.
bulletPlacement - View through aquariums should be a minimum of 24" wide to facilitate maintenance and provide ample swim space for fish.
bulletDesign - Aquariums should be longer and wider versus taller and narrower. This enables proper gas exchange with the environment and is a more naturally appearing tank. An aquarium is not a two-dimensional piece of art. It is a three-dimensional microenvironment. 
bulletAccess - A minimum of 14" above an aquarium is needed for access and maintenance. In addition, a minimum of 24" inches below or behind is needed for equipment.
bulletEnvironment - Use caution when planning an aquarium in a high traffic or loud sound area. Extremes can easily stress animals that are sensitive to rapid environmental changes.
bulletBudget - Aquarium systems can be costly. Plan carefully and realistically to accommodate your desires.
