Aquarium Installation
At Aqua Creations, with over 20 years of experience, we’ve streamlined the aquarium installation process to ensure your new aquarium is set up efficiently and effectively. The majority of our systems are meticulously built and constructed off-site. This approach allows our custom aquarium builders to minimize on-site disruption and focus on a seamless installation.
Aquarium Installation Process
Delivery and Placement: Our expert aquarium installers carefully transport and position the aquarium in its designated spot.
Plumbing of the Aquarium & Life Support System: Our custom fish tank builders handle all the necessary plumbing for the aquarium and its myriad life support filtration and water processing components. The end result is an aquatic system that ensures optimal water quality and a pristine environment for your fish and livestock to thrive in for years to come.
Decor and Lighting: Perhaps the hardest part of a professional aquarium installation is the creation of a proper décor structure with correct lighting ambiance. At Aqua Creations we take this part of the installation very seriously with a nuanced eye for unique and proper aquarium design that will enhance the aquatic environment and blend in properly with the client’s space.
Filling and Testing: Finally, we fill the aquarium with water and conduct thorough testing to ensure everything is functioning as intended.

How Long Does a Custom Aquarium Installation Take?
The on-site installation time can vary based on several factors, including the size of the aquarium, the environment, and the specific details of the system. Typically, you can expect this phase to take anywhere from 1 to 4 days. It’s important to note that this time frame is in addition to our design and manufacturing lead time.
Our goal is to ensure that your aquarium is installed to the highest standard and is ready to provide a captivating and serene aquatic experience.

Plumbing
Our approach to plumbing work in aquarium installation is nothing short of obsessive. Well-planned plumbing is crucial for the long-term functionality and ease of servicing your aquarium. From the start, our skilled technicians meticulously plan every aspect of the plumbing and layout, ensuring that each component is easily accessible for maintenance and any potential equipment repairs in the future. This foresight not only guarantees optimal performance but also simplifies the upkeep process, allowing you to enjoy a seamless and hassle-free aquarium experience.

Filling
In our marine aquarium installations, all the water is pure H2O mixed with the proper marine salt and trace elements. How do we fill large aquarium systems? We bring temporary large water vats to facilitate the original system fill. When the aquarium is filled and running, we remove the vats and leave the unit used for the long-term water processing system.
Aquarium Installation Equipment
It is crucial to use the right equipment for a custom fish tank installation. Your aquarium installers come prepared with a range of equipment necessary for an aquarium installation including:
- lift tables
- genie lifts
- lulls
- scissor lifts.
Custom Aquarium Installation Options
- Millwork: We will guide your contractor through every detail needed to complete the seamless integration of the aquarium with the surrounding space. When requested, our furniture department will fabricate stunning custom cabinetry to compliment the surrounding area and decor.
- Filtration packages: Good filtration is at the heart of all successful aquatic systems. We have years of experience and knowledge invested into every custom-designed filtration system that we install. Many of our filtration systems can be installed remotely in a basement, garage or utility room to alleviate any ambient noise and to facilitate easier and better maintenance practices. We also offer multiple filtration styles and equipment upgrades for more specialized aquarium support.
- Lighting: We offer a wide range of lighting options including multi-spectrum high output LED strip lights and fully controllable and programmable multi-color high intensity reef lights. All of our options are known for their reliability and long term success for all types of aquatic environments.
- Decor: Aquascaping an aquarium when done properly is a true art. The goal is to properly blend the aquarium with the surrounding space while creating a proper environment for the aquarium’s livestock to thrive. We take the time to go through the many options available for their installation in detail with the client.
