Built from the ground up, this beautiful home custom aquarium is intended to house large, exotic fish. The “frameless” tank was built with optically clear glass, mounted in custom-built cabinetry and finished with a stunning Brazilian Rosewood veneer by Jim Campo of CUSTOMWOOD INC.

To highlight the fish, simple decoration and over-built filtration is employed. A large Wet/Dry filter is used in conjunction with a 2,500 gallon/hour recirculating pump. Accessories include a 57 Watt ultra-violet sterilizer, protein skimmer and a canister filter, which is used as a customizable media chamber.

This beautiful home custom aquarium was framed with a Myrtle Burl finished custom moulding by Jim Campo of CUSTOMWOOD INC.  The 75-gallon Reef Aquarium installation creates a wonderfully peaceful dining experience, and topic of conversation when guests come over!

The delicate reef environment requires a complex filtration set-up utilizing a bubble-less sump, 900 gallon/hour recirculating pump, protein skimmer and calcium reactor. Two 14,500 Kelvin/150 watt metal-halide lamps are accompanied by two 96 watt PowerCompact actinic lamps to create the effect of an exotic, sunlit reef.

Moving for any individual can be stressful.  Whether it is a move to a new apartment, or a move to a new home, proper planning and preparation will ensure that it goes smoothly.  The same goes for custom fish tank or aquarium moving: your aquatics residents will be stressed as well!

The size of your tank and distance of the move will determine the difficulty, and how it will affect your fish.  There are many things to think about before attempting this yourself. The experts at Diamond Aquatics can provide you with professional, affordable aquarium moving services in NY and NJ if you are looking for help.

Before you start planning, consider these things:

1-Moving needs to happen as quickly as possible. The habitat in which your fish live must be duplicated as much as it can in a temporary enclosure.  Using water from the custom fish tank will help. The quicker the aquarium moving occurs, the faster the balance in the new setup adjusts for the fish to move right back in.

2-It’s difficult to physically move a fish tank! They are fragile and heavy at the same time. If the tank is large, it needs to be securely carried and handled, and kept as level as possible so that the panels stay together.

3-Aquarium moving can be messy. Most, if not all of the water needs to be drained, and then put back in once moved. Water is fluid, so all the movement of it can cause spills and splashes everywhere, if not done properly.

Even when it is simply from one room to another, moving an aquarium can be a daunting task. With time being a factor in the health of the aquarium inhabitants, experience is critical in making sure everything is done as quickly as possible. Whether you are temporarily shifting furniture or moving to a new residence in the New York or New Jersey areas, contact Diamond Aquatics to help move your aquarium to it’s new location safely. For longer distance moves, please inquire by calling 973-356-4434.

There are tons of different types of fish that one is able to acquire for their custom aquarium today. A budding aquarist can do research on Google and be overwhelmed at all the types of aquatic life to keep as pets in a custom fish tank.

We wanted to share some suggestions for fish to support your aquarium hobby….

Black Tetras
These are school fish, and should be kept in a group of 4 or more so that one does not dominate and tire out the others. They easily adapt to a new setup, and have big appetites.

White Cloud Mountain Fish
These fish are good for smaller tanks. They are very peaceful and make an pretty display against a dark background in your tank.

Platies
These fish are fascinating and captivating to watch. They are classified as livebearers, meaning they are easily bred and the lifecycle of breeding from courting to hatching can be observed in your tank. They come in an assortment of colors.

Clown Fish
Remember Finding Nemo? Then you will recognize this fish. Tank-raised “Percula” Clown fish are much easier aquarium maintenance than the wild ones. They are saltwater fish with bright markings, and a seahorse like rocking motion which looks playful and fun.

What are some of your favorite fish?

Of course, this is just a short list of fish to consider for your aquarium. Call Diamond Aquatics today at 973-356-4434 so that we can help you find the best pets for your tank!
