Our 8 step Process for Custom Made Aquariums
At Fish Tank Pro, we pride ourselves on delivering custom aquariums that not only meet but exceed our clients' expectations. Our rigorous 8-step process is designed to ensure precision, quality, and satisfaction at every turn. Here's how each step contributes to fulfilling our promise of excellence:
1. Onsite Discussion About Aquarium Requirements
At Fish Tank Pro, every custom aquarium begins with a personal touch. Our onsite discussions with clients are the cornerstone of our process. During this initial meeting, we delve into the specifics: the desired size of the fish tank, the type of tank (freshwater or saltwater), the species of fish to be homed, and the overall aesthetic, including lighting and decor. We also help determine the best location for the fisk tank. This collaborative approach ensures that each aquarium is a reflection of the client's vision, tailored to their space and preferences.
2. Aquarium Build
The creation of a custom aquarium is a meticulous process involving precision and craftsmanship. Our skilled aquarium builders begin by cutting high-quality glass to exact dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit. The glass is then bonded with specialised aquarium-grade glue, providing a leak-proof seal. To enhance durability, the structure is further strengthened, preparing it to withstand the pressure of the water and create a safe environment for aquatic life.
3. Aquarium Delivery and Installation
Once constructed, the aquarium is ready for delivery. Our team of professional aquarium installers carefully transports the tank to its new home. Installation is a critical phase, where we ensure the aquarium is perfectly levelled and securely positioned. This attention to detail guarantees the longevity and stability of the aquarium, setting the stage for a thriving aquatic ecosystem.
4. Aquarium Equipment Setup
The heart of an aquarium's functionality lies in its equipment. Fish Tank Pro's technicians set up all necessary components, including filtration systems, heaters, and lighting. Each piece of equipment is selected for its reliability and performance, ensuring the health and well-being of the aquarium's inhabitants.
5. Aquarium Water Preparation and Stabilisation
Preparing the water for a new aquarium is vital. Our team takes great care in conditioning and stabilising the water, adjusting pH levels, and establishing beneficial bacteria colonies. This period is crucial for creating a balanced environment that will support aquatic life for years to come.
6. Aquarium Plant and Decor Setup
With the water prepared, we turn our attention to the aesthetics. Fish Tank Pro offers various plants and decor options to create a visually stunning underwater landscape. From naturalistic designs to more avant-garde approaches, we work with clients to select the perfect elements that complement their aquatic vision.
7. Placing Fish into the Aquarium
Introducing fish to their new home is a delicate process. We acclimate the fish gradually to avoid stress, ensuring a smooth transition to their custom-built environment. Our team monitors the fish closely during this period, making any necessary adjustments to the aquarium conditions.
8. Handover of Aquarium to Client
The final step in our process is handing over the fish tank to the client. This includes a comprehensive guide on feeding routines, maintenance tips, and best practices for fish care. Our goal is to empower clients with the knowledge to maintain a healthy and vibrant aquarium long after we've completed our work.
