How Are Fish Tanks Made? Custom Aquariums Tour!
Hello Fellow Fish Keepers,
We recently had the opportunity to tour Custom Aquariums/Custom Cages/Serenity Aviary with Creative Pet Keeping. It was a great time and I wanted to bring you along! In this video we see how Custom Aquariums makes custom fish tanks tailored to their customers unique requirements. Enjoy!

11:21 Holy small detail to ensure the silicone seam is perfect to make sure the glasses are not too close! WOW!
Of all the Custom Aquarium tours I watch on youtube, yours is the best providing important info and details. 👍

That was a really cool video. I agree with you that a longer shorter tank has the appeal being there's a lot of viewing area as well as having a great amount of square footage that gives you plenty of aquascaping room and of course, keeps the fishy friends happy. I have a 15 gallon column tank and it's fine but it's a pain in the butt to work on or clean. I should have gone with a 20 long after opening this one and a traditional 10 gallon. Thanks again for a great video. I been watching a lot of yours lately. Keep it up!

I build my own aquariums and am a fairly good carpenter, and that tour was very interesting. Would have been nicer to be there in person.
Amazing dream tanks with exceptional craftsmanship.

Thanks for posting this, you did a great job showing it so clearly. There is something therapeutic about watching this kind of work! The table on the machine that cut the glass panels, I noticed the glass was very thick but the fellow pushed them around with one hand. Was there air assist on the table? I would think they would be harder to move. Thanks again!!

Hey Jason. Greetings from New York. Been watching your videos, great work you guys do. Started getting involved with aquarium field recently while trying to redo a big tank at my job. Bumped into lots of difficulties but the one that is intriguing me the most is of how to find those tiny circular bumps that it's placed between glasses to avoid silicone getting squeezed out. Would love Would deeply appreciate if you could help me out with any information. I looked up all over the internet can't seem to find it all. Huge thanks you all. Big hug

Hey - check out King of DIY. He’s done some tank builds but I don’t think he used those spacers - I think he used something else (maybe pins?).
Very interesting Jason. Thanks for sharing :)
That's an amazing set up. I just wish, with all the capability they have, that they can help with another issue that's been plaguing the aquatic community for years and that's "BROKEN FRAMES AND BRACES". They don't sell their frames separately and I believe they're the only vendors with metal frames that are braced with removable hardware. I just picked up 125 gallon from craigslist for $40. Glass has absolutely no scratches or corner cracks but the one of the braces is broken. I've removed the top and bottom trims, resealed tank, but now I having trouble finding 1 piece replacement frame.

Is the only adhesion silcone? I had heard the glass panels are put together with epoxy and then sealed with silicone. Is that not true?

Is it more expensive to buy a custom-made fish tank and could I have an idea of what a plain glass 4 to 5 foot custom-made Fish-tank would cost.
@PrimeTimeAquatics
4 жыл бұрын
It's definitely more expensive, but usually much higher quality. Better glass, thicker glass, much better silicone application. You could certainly reach out to them regarding the cost.
hi ,, i am from indonesia i really like your video and i am a beginner aquarium fan. I want to ask where or what if I want to have an aquarium like that? I am a fan of arowana fish.
Will they ship glass

hello friend I have a problem with my aquarium 6 feet length 6 feet high and 30 inches wide in this aquarium, if he puts a carp in the aquarium, then he sits down and becomes sick What is the matter you can guide?
@PrimeTimeAquatics

Hard to say. If the fish behaves normally in other tanks there is probably something going on with water parameters (temp, pH, nitrogen, O2) perhaps? I would start there.
very interesting :D
NA ALL THOSE TANK ARE ALL TOO SHALLOW 8 FEET AND 24 INCH HIGH ? GIVE ME A BREAK IF I EVER GET A CUSTOM IT BETTER BE 3 TO 4 FEET DEEP(HIGH)

Depends on what you’re keeping. I want a shorter tank for some of my cichlids that don’t use the upper part of the tank! 😀
I’m sorry, but why does it look like it’s not a glass edge like what you’re talking about at 11:20? It looks like it has been covered with metal. Confused.

That's what the glass edge looks like after it goes through the finishing process!
I just ordered a 28 gallon tank. What community fish should I mix any idea and how many should I keep
@PrimeTimeAquatics

There's like a million options! : -) I'll just give you what I would do if I had a new 28 gallon. 4 of your favorite cory cat, 12 of the same rasbora - lampeye, lampchop, brillant green, or any of the other kinds would probably work, one bristlenose pleco and a honey gourami! Just make sure the tank is cycled first and add the fish over time. Good luck!

Great. Can you make me a 20,000 gallon tank for 350,000?
Ok here is where I loose it. In the part you show the stands up close 5:55 and all I see are SKINNY 1" X 3" pieces of wood to make the stands. And that stand by the length EASILY was atleast for a 125 gallon tank or any 72"/ 6 foot tank.How are we making stands at home out of 2X4 and 2X6 and here they are using LESS wood and way way thinner wood? Makes no sense to me
@PrimeTimeAquatics
5 жыл бұрын
They use steel-framed stands enclosed in wood for heavier tanks I believe. Just depends on the size of the tank. I'm always amazed that the store-bought stands that came with my 125 and 150 gallon tanks held the weight without any issues given they are compressed board. Custom Aquariums at least uses solid wood. : -)
cool interesting insights. t(h)ank you! :)
