Add a unique focal point to the workplace with a boardroom aquarium. This super-sized marine fish tank behind the desk of the receptionist demands attention in the lobby of a large New Jersey Real Estate Corporation. The 10-foot 1200-gallon system also faces the boardroom, thereby serving a dual purpose. Having a fascinating marine built-in wall aquarium with beautiful handmade coral inserts removes the challenge of staying awake during a typical corporate meeting!
Aqua Creations, with 20+ years of experience creating, installing and maintaining custom commercial aquariums, almost always has an install like this lined up in our job queue.

Boardroom Aquariums Project Overview
Client’s vision and objectives: a New Jersey real estate corporation approached Aqua Creations with a request: an aquarium that would serve as a focal point both in the lobby and the boardroom of their workplace. This presented unique challenges for the Aqua Creations team. Here’s how we did it and our expert tips for those who are considering a boardroom aquarium project.
Designing a Boardroom Aquarium
- Design Considerations and Concept Development: When designing a corporate boardroom aquarium, we recommend going with a larger design statement. When implemented with careful design and space planning, the boardroom aquarium will be viewable from multiple angles and from multiple rooms. The boardroom aquarium should of course be viewable from the conference room, but to create the largest impact it should also be viewable from the lobby, executive office or dining area.
- Collaboration: Proper design is always a group effort. At Aqua Creations we are the experts at group collaboration with your interior designers and architects. We will add valuable input and guidance throughout the design process assuring the most impactful and pleasing outcome for the desired space.
- Unique Features: The boardroom aquarium interior design is also of utmost importance. Blending properly with the surrounding space is key for a built-in fish tank in the wall between rooms. With this in mind, our experienced custom aquarium designers will develop a design that achieves a sense of harmony while creating a wow factor for the aquarium viewer.
Technical Specifications for a Built-in Wall Aquarium
When designing a fish tank for a conference room, some of the details to consider are:
- Aquarium Type: Location dependant aquarium style, size and materials
- Livestock Selection:
- Freshwater vs Saltwater
- Specific biotope compatible livestock choices
- Aquatic decor: Custom fabricated coral reef vs Amazon river inserts and plants vs natural hardscape materials, such as rock, woods, and live plants.
Installation Process
For a project of this magnitude, there are a number of key phases:
- Boardroom aquarium fabrication
- Equipment purchase time
- Custom filtration plumbing and installation of the aquarium
When delivering a large custom built-in wall aquarium, there are often challenges that our team needs to take into account. We find out whether there is open access from the building’s entry to the aquarium’s location or if we need to consider special delivery options and provide scissor lifts, automatic lift tables, extension lulls or even large cranes for window entry.
