Aquarium Shine is experienced in custom installations of aquariums, be it a wall aquarium inset in your room, a central aquarium you are able to walk around, or a uniquely-shaped amorphous tank placed against a wall or behind a bar. They handle both residential and commercial installations of any type of tank, from freshwater to decorative saltwater tanks to marine reef aquariums--full of live coral and rock.

Although many people who order a custom freshwater or saltwater tank are aquarium hobbyists, you don’t need to be fish virtuoso to have a custom aquarium installation. The expert consultants at Aquarium Shine will guide you through the entire process, step by step, starting with your very first phone call to inquire about a tank. The following sequence of events often happens during the course of your first custom aquarium installation:

  • Aquarium Design
  • Collaboration with Contractors
  • Expert Consultation and Advice
  • Education of Customer
  • Brainstorming / Decision-making
  • Aquarium Setup
  • Aquarium Installation
  • Continuing Aquarium Maintenance


Aquarium Shine works with developers, contractors and interior designers on a regular basis, collaborating with them to ensure your tank is appropriately designed in your desired space, without any worry on your part. They have the knowledge needed to determine what type of tank and location is workable based on space, sunlight, window treatments and support within the walls and floors. They are experienced professionals who will take care of all of the details from beginning to end.

Once you express interest in a new aquarium, an experienced sales consultant, or perhaps even the company owner, will come out to your location for an on-site interview. There, you can discuss the shape and style of your desired tank, the design and color of the cabinetry, ideal locations and start measuring space.

You will be consulted on the pros and cons of a glass aquarium versus an acrylic aquarium. You will understand the different levels of how ‘high-tech’ you may go with your installation, for instance, by investigating a larger, more technical marine reef aquarium versus a decorative saltwater aquarium or lower maintenance freshwater aquarium.

After all the creative brainstorming, design and structural and technical evaluations are discussed and decided upon you will receive a project estimate with a 30-day guarantee on your quote. You may then nail down a timeline, which could last anywhere from one to three months, depending the size of your selected custom aquarium.

Aquarium Shine doesn’t stop there! They will take you right through the stabilization process over the course of the first month after your custom aquarium installation, setting up your starter fish and coral, and then continue maintaining your tank for you, if desired, through their comprehensive maintenance plans.

The products that Aquarium Shine designs, creates and installs is not just an aquarium, but an artistic aquascape that will become a treasured part of your personal environment.
