						I went there today and picked up a fish. Honestly the fish store is so aesthetic, I feel like I can just take a seat and just watch the tanks. Great quality fish and any question that I asked the owner, he provided me. He is extremely knowledgeable and can definitely steer you in the right direction. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!! Customer service 10/10 so great and I even asked if they were hiring 🤣

3 Unique Aquarium Design Ideas for Your Manhasset, NY Home

Did you know that nearly 15 million American households own fish? It’s true! Given the fact that aquarium design is a fun and interesting way to add visual interest to a home, combined with the therapeutic benefits (they’re calming and have been found to reduce stress levels), it’s easy to see why so many people have fish tanks.

If you’ve been thinking about bringing fish into your Nassau County home, rather than going with a run-of-the-mill, do-it-yourself pet store fish tank, if you really want to make a bold statement, consider having a professional Manhasset, NY aquarium service create and install a custom aquatic habitat for you instead.

Here are some unique and amazing aquarium design ideas that a professional can create that will be sure to delight.

A Bathtub Aquarium

No, we don’t mean turning your bathtub into a fish tank (though it’s certainly possible and would be neat if you have an antique or unusual tub that you don’t intend on using); rather, by a bathtub aquarium, we mean having a tank installed near your tub. A Manhasset, NY aquarium service can design and install an oversized – or even a floor-to-ceiling tank – on the wall across from your bathtub. Watching colorful aquarium fish swim around and hearing the bubbling of the tank while you’re soaking in warm water will certainly take the relaxation factor that taking a bath provides up a notch.

A Headboard Aquarium

Aquarium watching has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure levels, and create a calming effect; all factors that can help you get a better night of sleep. Sure, setting up a standard fish tank in your Nassau County bedroom would be beneficial, but imagine the effect if your headboard was the tank? A professional Manhasset, NY aquarium service can install a tank in the wall above the head of your bed and fill it with vibrant fish, coral, and aquatic plants, and illuminate it with a blue, purple, or black light. Flank the tank with custom, built-in shelving, and this unique aquarium design and you’ll have a functional and beautiful piece of living furniture that will be sure to make your bedroom more inviting, and that will create a calming sleep environment.

An Aquarium Table

Glass-top tables aren’t unusual; however, rather than a wood or metal base, make a real statement with a fish tank! With this type of aquarium design, the options are virtually limitless. Experienced and talented Manhasset, NY aquarium service experts can turn fish tanks of all shapes and sizes into a table base. When topped with a thick piece of glass, you’ll have a 360-degree view of the aquarium fish, aquatic flora, and decorative elements in the tank. A coffee table, a side table, a dining table; no matter the type, the style, or how it’s used, an aquarium table will surely add visual appeal to your Nassau County home, and will undoubtedly serve as a conversation piece.

Manhasset is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 8,080 at the 2010 census.

The Matinecock had a village on Manhasset Bay. These Native Americans called the area Sint Sink, meaning “place of small stones”. They made wampum from oyster shells. In 1623, the area was claimed by the Dutch West India Company and they began forcing English settlers to leave in 1640. A 1643 land purchase made it possible for English settlers to return to Cow Neck (the peninsula where present-day Port Washington, Manhasset, and surrounding villages are located.).

Manhasset Bay was previously known as Schout’s Bay (a schout being roughly the Dutch equivalent of a sheriff), Martin Garretson’s Bay (Martin Garretson was the Schout at one point), and later Cow Bay or Cow Harbor. Cow Neck was so called because it offered good grazing land. By 1659, there were over 300 cows and 5 mi (8 km) fence separating Cow Neck from the areas south of it. The settlers came to an agreement that each of them could have one cow on the neck for each section of fence the individual had constructed. The area was more formally divided among the settlers when the fence was removed in 1677. Manhasset took on the name Little Cow Neck, Port Washington was known as Upper Cow Neck.

During the American Revolution, Little Cow Neck suffered at the hands of the British. Many structures and properties, such as the 1719 Quaker Meeting House were burned, seized or damaged. The Town of North Hempstead separated from the Town of Hempstead in 1784 because the South, inhabited mainly by Church of England people, was loyal to the king. The Northern communities and villages, dominated by Yankee Congregationalists supported independence.

FAQ

How Often Should I Service My Aquarium?

You should perform a partial water change in your fish tank around once every two to three weeks, or more often if you have a lot of fish. If you have to change all of the water in your fish tank completely (a full water change), only do it when it is absolutely necessary.

How Many Years Does An Aquarium Last?

Glass tanks typically last between 15 and 20 years if they are made of quality materials. A high-end glass tank can last more than 25 years if properly maintained.

How Often Should I Vacuum My Gravel?

You should vacuum your aquarium regularly, whether once a week or once every other week, as part of a good maintenance routine. Ensure that all your decor is removed before vacuuming.

Is It Okay To Change The Water In My Aquarium Every Day?

You can change water as often as you like if you dechlorinate properly and keep the temperature constant. Water may be changed daily by professional fish breeders to remove excess food and promote maximum growth.
