Custom aquariums take time to set up properly.
Did you know that it takes between 14 to 21 days to set up a freshwater aquarium and up to a month or longer for a saltwater one? This explains why you should never buy a complete set, such as the fish tank and its inhabitants.
You risk having problems with both the fish and the tank.
The fish may carry a disease while the equipment will be faulty or nearing the end of its useful life.
But even if everything is perfect where are you going to house your new pets while you wait for the aquarium to be moved, set up properly and matured? It is much better to buy new custom aquariums.
Not only can you pick a size and design best suited to the space you have available but you also benefit from the guarantees that come with new products.
The electrical equipment should meet all the codes and the glass tank should be intact, fully functioning and not scratched or damaged in anyway.
When you go to choose your tank remember that the main purpose is to provide a home for your fish.
You are aiming to provide a similar habitat to the one they would enjoy in the wild and this may not fit in a very modern uniquely shaped fish bowl.
If you are after an interior design statement piece you may want to pick a painting rather than a custom made aquarium.
When you look at custom aquariums, don't forget to reserve part of your budget for the equipment necessary to keep your fish in comfort.
You will need proper aeration and filtration devices as well as other decorative effects.
You may also need a heater unit and other devices but your dealer will be able to advise further.
