						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 Old Westbury, 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 Old Westbury, 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 Old Westbury, 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 Old Westbury, 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 Old Westbury, 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.

Old Westbury is a village in the Towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 4,671 at the 2010 census.

Westbury was founded by Edmond Titus, and was later joined by Henry Willis, one of the first English settlers. Westbury had been a Quaker community of isolated farms until the railroad came in 1836. After the Civil War, the New York elite discovered that the rich, well-wooded flat countryside of the Hempstead Plains was a place to raise horses, and to hunt foxes and play polo at the Meadow Brook Polo Club.

The Village of Old Westbury was incorporated in 1924, separating itself from Westbury, the adjacent area that housed many of the families of the construction and building staffs for the Old Westbury mansions. The “Old” part of Old Westbury’s name reflects the community’s need for its postal address to be different from the Westbury in Cayuga County, as per postal requirements (it had been using a postal address of North Hempstead for this reason); residents did this when they wanted a local post office ca. 1841, and when they incorporated Old Westbury as a village, they felt that it would be confusing for the village name and post office name to be different from one another. The Village of Westbury, located adjacent to Old Westbury, adopted that designation when it incorporated in 1932 as Cayuga County’s Westbury’s name was no longer being used.

The area was originally known as Wallage, which is related to a Native American term roughly meaning “ditch” or “hole.” By February 1663, it was known as Wood Edge, and by October 1675 it was known as “the Plains edge” or simply Plainedge. The name Westbury began to be used for the area around 1683. The name Westbury was chosen by Henry Willis, who named it after Westbury, Wiltshire, his hometown in England.

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.
