An Amazing Custom Fish Tank
You might walk into your doctor’s office and be welcomed by a nice aquarium, sized just to fit along the wall and provide a focal point for waiting patients. Or, at a fancy restaurant, there might be a big custom fish tank set in the wall between two rooms - to provide something of a glimpse of other diners. Of course there are even larger custom fish tanks big enough to house sharks at aquaria.
Some people want simply a 360-degree view of their little neons, while others need to house thousands of fish for the viewing public. Whether humble or grandiose, a custom fish tank designer can create a wonderful little marine world in any shape or size.
Where Will They Put That?
Many clients order a square or rectangle custom fish tank to put against a wall. They can be made the length of a wall, the dimensions of a space on a bookshelf, or even flat to mount on the wall like a flat-screen TV. At least a few fish fanciers like to look at fish from above and have ordered custom fish tanks that double as coffee tables.
Some decorators order a custom fish tank to decorate an odd corner. An L-shaped tank can be made to fit any angle and provide an interesting focal point. Especially in a seafood restaurant, look for the custom fish tank holding your evening’s supper.
Shopping malls are also a great place to take note of custom fish tanks. Some of the best are cylindrical with a core of corals. It’s possible to make an open-top custom fish tank; it’s even better to stock it with a small shark to see that dorsal fin sailing around like Jaws!
Many zoos also have marine environments. At the National Zoo in Singapore, the fish exhibit is small but incredibly impressive. A normal looking pond hosts ducks, turtles, fish and plants, but when you descend into a tunnel beside the pond you see it’s actually a giant custom fish tank - showing a cross section of pond life.
But aquaria host the very best fish tank environments. Custom designers can make great shapes like an underwater tunnel that make you feel as if you’re walking among the fish. Such as in the Mall of American in Bloomington, MN. There you stand on a convayer belt and ride through the oceans and seas of the world as would be seen if suba diving in the depths of them. The biggest aquarium in the world, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, houses more than 100,000 fish. It’s largest viewing window is 23-by-61 feet wide - and two feet thick.
