We want to help you conceptualize your ideal luxury home aquarium. So, we’ve listed some of the current industry trends for your reference. We hope this post helps you dream up an incredible aquarium!

1. Choose any shape that fits your space

When planning a luxury home acrylic aquarium, you don’t have to settle for a standard rectangular shape. Because acrylic panels have the easily shaped qualities to create a aquarium of nearly any shape, you can really let your imagination run wild!

Do you need some ideas for shapes to consider? Here are some of the coolest home acrylic aquarium shapes we’ve seen lately:

Cylindrical

Cylindrical aquariums are all the rage due to their 360-degree views. These sleek aquariums also make the perfect focal point for entryways or large open living spaces. We especially love the thin columns that look like support beams for a home, but are filled with vibrant aquatic life!

Wave aquarium aquarium

This custom aquarium features a curved glass exterior that mimics the rise and fall of ocean waves. Many homeowners prefer wavy acrylic panels over standard straight edges because they give the aquarium a more organic and ergonomic feel. A wavy aquarium will feel right at home in a cozy den or bedroom.

Panoramic aquarium

Another curved acrylic option is the panoramic aquarium. This aquarium looks like a standard rectangular aquarium with an important twist. Instead of standard corners, it has rounded edges that allow for a seamless view of everything going on inside. We especially like this shaped aquarium placed in custom cabinetry close to a wall.

Corner Fit

One of our favorite custom designs is an aquarium that fits in the corner of a room. This type of aquarium has a curved front that stretches from one wall to the other for a perfect 90-degree view inside. We especially like to use these aquariums in offices and dens, as the compact design works well in smaller rooms.

So let your imagination be your guide as you look around your home. Is there an unusual spot where a uniquely shaped aquarium would be a fun surprise? You know, it doesn’t have to be in your main living room. Many luxury homeowners are also starting to install custom acrylic aquariums in bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens!

 

2. Wall-Mount Your Custom Acrylic Aquarium

Perhaps you’re worried that the designs we described above take up too much floor space. Then a wall-mounted aquarium might be ideal for you! This type of aquarium saves you space because it can be placed on your wall. Plus, you don’t have to worry about someone accidentally knocking your acrylic fish aquarium over!

These large portrait aquariums are becoming increasingly popular in larger homes. People love them because they can span the length of the wall and be viewed at a perfect height.

Wall mounted aquariums also allow for unique setups. For example, we have had aquariums mounted on a shared wall so people can see the aquarium from rooms on either side.

We mount these aquariums on the wall and the studs in the wall support the weight of the aquarium. It is important to have a professional do this to ensure your wall can support the acrylic fish aquarium. These aquariums can also only hold certain fish species because the aquarium has to be thinner to fit on the wall.

3. Choose Saltwater for Visually Striking Marine Life

The underwater scene in a luxury home aquarium should take your breath away. So, don’t settle for less than the most diverse and vibrant marine life in your aquarium. Setting up a saltwater reef aquarium is the best way to achieve this goal.

Saltwater aquariums can house a wider variety and variety of colorful fish, corals, and invertebrates than freshwater aquariums. Some of our favorite saltwater fish include blue damselfish, orange clownfish, yellow tang fish, and silver triggerfish. They will dazzle you as you enjoy gazing into your aquarium aquarium.

Saltwater also allows you to cultivate coral reefs and natural plants in your fish aquarium. These are much more interesting than synthetic aquarium decorations because they are constantly growing and changing. Therefore, they make your aquarium endlessly attractive to observe.

Of course, providing housing for unique saltwater wildlife is a big responsibility. Saltwater fish require more special care than freshwater fish, and the fish aquarium also requires more maintenance. So, before purchasing a saltwater aquarium, make sure you are ready to take on the extra responsibility.

 

 

 

4. Make Your Luxury Home Aquarium Eco-Friendly

Many luxury home aquarium enthusiasts are also very concerned about the environment. They want to protect not only the health of the wildlife in their aquariums, but also the health of the world around them. Therefore, the demand for eco-friendly aquarium features is on the rise.

If you share this desire, then you should know that investing in green technology for your aquarium does not mean sacrificing quality. Many eco-friendly aquarium equipment also enhances the beauty of your fish aquarium.

The best example of this is LED aquarium lighting. LED lights require less energy to effectively illuminate a luxurious fish aquarium. But beyond that, they are also often the best lighting choice because they last the longest and create the most striking visuals. For example, the high-end NICREW aquarium lights have multiple LED lights that can be easily adjusted to achieve perfect aquarium lighting.

Another eco-friendly aquarium best practice is to avoid synthetic decorations made of plastic or glass. These decorations are attractive because they require no maintenance. However, many of them are also made with paints and materials that can stain the water over time and harm your fish.

5. Advanced Technology Makes Maintenance Easy

Modern luxury fish aquariums are also a luxury because the latest technology makes it easy to care for. So make sure you take advantage of advanced aquarium maintenance features for your custom aquarium.

One of the most convenient high-tech accessories available today is an automatic fish feeder. An automatic feeder dispenses just the right amount of food to your fish at pre-set times so you don’t have to. Brands like Eheim, Zacro, and Noodoky offer some of the best automatic feeders on the market today.

You’ll also want to consider a technology that allows you to monitor the health of your aquarium from your smartphone. Many companies have created devices that provide real-time updates on the aquarium’s acidity, salinity, temperature, total dissolved solids, and more.

Aquarium enthusiasts should also keep an eye on advances in artificial intelligence (AI). There’s no doubt that this technology will only enhance our ability to keep our luxury home aquariums thriving.

6. Where should I place my custom acrylic fish aquarium?

Depending on your budget and the type of fish you have, you should also consider where in your home your aquarium will be placed. Choose a level and sturdy spot with minimal risk of your acrylic aquarium being bumped or knocked over. It’s also important that your aquarium is away from windows, vents, or anything else that could cause drastic changes in water temperature.

Windows are especially dangerous.

Some fish are very sensitive to light and only thrive in a specific spectrum and intensity. Too much exposure to window sunlight could put your fish at risk, so avoid direct sunlight.

7. What temperature should the water in your acrylic fish aquarium be kept at?

All fish have fairly specific temperature requirements. Most can thrive in water heated to 75-80 degrees, but researching your species’ needs is necessary. If you only have one species of fish, you can easily meet their needs. However, if you want a more diverse collection, a safe temperature range is 76-77 degrees.

Most importantly, keep the temperature consistent. If it fluctuates too much, it can easily stress your fish and cause illness.

8. Which water filter should I use?

If you’re a newbie, figuring out the right filtration for your aquarium can be confusing at first. There are a lot of filters available, but as a beginner, the two you’ll want to stick with are:

Cartridge filters

In recent years, cartridge filters have become increasingly popular. They pump water through a riser tube to an external chamber (canister). In this chamber, the water passes through a series of filter media before returning to the aquarium. They are more challenging to maintain and more expensive than other filters, but they are incredibly efficient.

Power filters

These are usually the filters that come with your fish aquarium if you buy a kit. They usually hang off the back of the aquarium and are generally the simplest (and cheapest) filter. Water is pumped through the cartridge filter to remove impurities, then returned to the aquarium through a spillway.

While power filters may be cheap and easy to use, they can be inefficient. Because the water comes into contact with air during the filtration process, it evaporates faster than with a cartridge filter. So, the water in the aquarium must be topped up more often. Also, because the water inlet is usually directly below the spillway, most of the water that enters the filter is clean water that has just returned to the aquarium.

Simply put, while canister filters may be more expensive and challenging to build, they are far superior. On the other hand, power filters are easy to use, making them the perfect choice for new aquarists. So, it may be a good idea to start with a power filter and gradually upgrade to a canister filter as you grow more comfortable with your aquarium.

9. Do I have a reputable company creating custom acrylic fish aquariums near me?

When it comes to custom acrylic fish aquariums, choosing the right company is almost as important as choosing the right equipment. You need to find a custom acrylic aquarium builder you can trust so that you can be confident that you are getting a high-quality, efficient fish aquarium. More importantly, to ensure that your acrylic aquarium will support a large number of livestock, not just look cool.
