						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 🤣

The Health Benefits of Adding a Custom Aquarium to Your Fishers Island, NY Home

Your home is your castle. In addition to providing shelter from the elements, it’s the space where you and your loved ones relax, unwind, and escape the stresses of day-to-day life. It’s your respite; your sanctuary, and as such, it should be filled with elements that create harmony and tranquility, yet make the space feel alive. A custom aquarium is one of the most effective ways to achieve these goals.

Freshwater and saltwater marine habitats aren’t just mesmerizing; they’re also known to provide a wealth of physical and mental health benefits. The following are some of the most notable benefits that an aquatic environment can provide, and why having a Fishers Island, NY custom aquarium designer install one in your Suffolk County home would be a worthwhile investment for you and your family.

Lower Stress Levels

Numerous scientific studies have found that exposure to aquatic environments can reduce stress levels. This effect is largely due to the natural calming effect that fish tanks provide. The sound of the bubbling water and the sight of the diverse, colorful, and uniquely patterned fish and plants moving back and forth promote feelings of relaxation that can reduce stress levels. In fact, after just a few minutes of being in the same room as an aquarium and observing the life within it, you’re bound to feel a sense of calmness sweep over you. By having a Fishers Island, NY custom aquarium contractor design and install a one-of-a-kind habitat for you, you and your loved ones will be sure to feel less stressed when you’re at home.

Reduced Blood Pressure and Heart Rate

If you or anyone in your family suffers from high blood pressure or an elevated heart rate, having a marine habitat installed in your Suffolk County home may be able to help. A study performed by an expert at the National Marine Aquarium found that watching fish swim can dramatically lower blood pressure and heart rate; in fact, gazing at a fish tank that contains only water has been shown to reduce heart rate levels by about 3%, while observing an aquarium that’s alive with fish can lower heart rate by levels by up to 7%.

Therapeutic Effects

Have you ever wondered why fish tanks are common features in medical and dental practices? If so, wonder no more! Aquatic displays have been proven to elicit therapeutic effects, especially in environments or situations where stress and/or anxiety levels tend to be heightened (such a doctor’s or a dentist’s office). Simply watching the marine flora and fauna can instantly calm feelings of anxiousness. If you or anyone in your family suffers from anxiety or depression, having a Fishers Island, NY custom aquarium specialist design and install a display for your Suffolk County home could be immensely beneficial.

Improved Sleep

Do you have a difficult time falling asleep and/or staying asleep? If so, you should consider bringing a fish tank into the bedroom. Seeing the plants and animals swim and/or sway about in the crystal clear water will create an instant sense of calmness and make you feel more relaxed. The sound of the bubbling water can be incredibly soothing, as well. At the end of a long, crazy day, having an aquatic display in the bedroom can help you decompress and quiet your mind so that you can drift off to sleep. Not only will being within close proximity to the tank help you fall asleep easier, but it will also help you stay asleep longer. If you want to enjoy deeper and more restorative sleep, discuss having a Fishers Island, NY custom aquarium designer create and install a display for your bedroom.

Enhanced Mood

Yet another health benefit that has been linked to owning a fish tank is that it can promote a happier, more balanced, and pleasant mood. The fact that being exposed to aquatic displays can reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure and heart rate, provide therapeutic benefits, and prompt deeper, more restorative sleep means that you can also enjoy a more upbeat mood, a more positive outlook, and a sunnier disposition. When you have a Fishers Island, NY custom aquarium designer create and install a one-of-a-kind tank for your Suffolk County home, you’ll find it hard not to be in a good mood whenever you gaze into it, walk past it, or even when you’re just in the same room as the tank.

Fishers Island is an island that is part of Southold, New York, United States at the eastern end of Long Island Sound, 2 miles (3 km) off the southeastern coast of Connecticut across Fishers Island Sound. About 9 miles (14 km) long and 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, it is about 11 miles (18 km) from the tip of Long Island at Orient Point, 2 miles (3 km) each from Napatree Point at the southwestern tip of Rhode Island and Groton Long Point in Connecticut, and about 7 miles (11 km) southeast of New London, Connecticut. It is accessible from New London by plane and regular ferry service.

The island was called Munnawtawkit by the Pequot Natives. Adriaen Block, the first recorded European visitor, named it Vischer’s Island in 1614 after one of his companions. For the next 25 years, it remained a wilderness, visited occasionally by Dutch traders.

John Winthrop the Younger obtained a grant of Fisher’s Island in 1640 from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, “reserving the right of Connecticut if it should be decided to be theirs.” He simultaneously applied to the Connecticut General Court for a similar grant in order that there might be no flaw in his title. The title was given to him in the following words, which are copied from the records of a General Court held at Hartford, Connecticut, April 9, 1641:

Upon Mr. Winthrop’s motion to the court for Fisher’s Island, it is the mind of the court that so far as it hinders not the public good of the country, either for fortifying for defense, or setting up a trade for fishing or salt and such like, he shall have liberty to proceed therein.

Winthrop lived only one winter on the island. He was named governor of the Connecticut Colony 1657-58 and 1659-76, and he used the island to raise sheep for food and wool. He died in 1676 and his son Fitz-John installed a lessee farmer from England on the island named William Walworth. Walworth brought a system of cultivation that was continued on the island for nearly 200 years. He established farmland out of the heavily forested island. Walworth and his family vacated the island nine years later due to the threat of pirates. Fishers Island remained in the Winthrop family of Connecticut until 1863, when ownership passed to Robert R. Fox, and then to Edmund and Walton Ferguson, also of Connecticut.

FAQ

How Much Does A Custom Aquarium Cost?

The cost of a display aquarium varies depending on the material you choose, the size and shape of the tank, and more. A wide range of costs is about $750 to $7000. Costs increase with the size and height of the tank.

What's The Best Shape For An Aquarium?

The best tanks are always large rectangular ones. Fish will live longer and healthier lives if they have plenty of water to swim in.

Are Glass Or Acrylic Aquariums Cheaper?

The cost of manufacturing and transporting acrylic is less than that of glass. However, a glass aquarium is still cheaper than an acrylic aquarium. The most popular aquariums are made of glass.

Do Fish Prefer Long Or Tall Tanks?

Most fish require room to move laterally (side-to-side), which is highly restricted by tall, narrow tanks. A tall aquarium leaves very little open space when plants and other decorations are added. Therefore, longer tanks are much better than taller tanks.
