						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 🤣

Types of Custom Fish Tanks to Consider for Your Wading River, NY Business

Are you thinking about installing a custom fish tank in your Suffolk County business? If so, there are several factors that have to be considered and decisions that need to be made, and perhaps the most important of all is the type of aquarium you’d like to install. There are several different types of marine habitats to consider that a reputable and experienced Wading River, NY custom fish tank specialist will be able to design, install, and maintain. The type that will best suit your needs depends on several factors, such as your personal preferences, your goals, and your budget.

To help you decide which option to choose for your Suffolk County business, let’s take a look at some of the different kinds of aquariums.

Cold Water

The easiest and most basic type of aquarium, in terms of installation and maintenance, is the cold water tank. If you’re a novice, this is a great choice, as it doesn’t require special equipment and it’s easy to care for. It’s also the most affordably priced. While it may be the most basic type of aquarium, a cold water tank can be quite lively and interesting; especially when it’s designed and installed by a reputable and experienced Wading River, NY custom fish tank specialist.

Tanks of varying shapes, sizes, and styles can be used, and there are an assortment of decorative elements that can be incorporated. Additionally, there are many different species of freshwater flora and fauna. Barbs, tetra, hillstream loach, danio, Paradise fish, and even certain varieties of shrimp, as well as goldfish, of course, are just some of the different types of fish that will make a cold water tank come alive.

Tropical Freshwater

Tropical freshwater aquariums are among the most popular types of aquatic displays. Though it is a bit more involved and costly to set up, and they do require more care than cold water tanks, a tropical freshwater marine habitat is still a great option.

This type of aquarium contains warmer water, and as such, it does require special equipment, such as heaters to achieve the proper temperature for the aquatic life that lives in this habitat. Additionally, it does require a bit more care in order to maintain the temperature, as well as the pH levels. Still, a tropical freshwater aquarium is relatively easy to maintain on your own, or, if your Wading River, NY custom fish tank designer offers maintenance plans, you could arrange for them to take care of the tank for you.

Saltwater

If you’d like a more extravagant aquarium for your Suffolk County business, a saltwater (also known as a “marine”) tank might be the right choice for you. As the name suggests, these tanks are designed to support marine animals that would live in the ocean. There are several different types of saltwater aquariums, including:

Fish-only. This aquatic habitat features various types of saltwater fish with base (non-living) rock.
Fish only with live rock. This aquarium would house a variety of saltwater species, as well as fragmented pieces of coral reef that have been colonized with saltwater marine life, such as sponges and invertebrates.
Coral reef. This custom fish tank is perhaps the most impactful, as it replicates an ocean reef, and features varying species of vibrantly colored fish, soft and hard corals, and invertebrates.
Specialty. A specialty saltwater tank will feature specific species of marine life, such as jellyfish, seahorses, and even sharks.

While saltwater tanks are stunning, the setup and upkeep is complex, and they tend to be more costly to install and maintain. With that said, however, if your Wading River, NY custom fish tank contractor offers maintenance services, you can arrange to have them care for the tank for you.

Wading River is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Suffolk County, New York, United States, on the North Shore of Long Island. As of the 2010 census, the CDP population was 7,719. It is adjacent to Shoreham and shares a school district.

The earliest English records show a settlement known as Wading River was founded by eight colonial families. “The spot for the village was chosen with care. There was a stream adequate for water power and abounding in seafood…good water for drinking…soil rich enough to grow essential crops, woodland for fuel, building material and food, topography to offer protection from the elements, meadowland for its grass.”

Between 1895 and 1938, the Port Jefferson Branch of the Long Island Rail Road extended to Wading River. It was once planned to continue eastward to rejoin the Main Line at Riverhead or Calverton. From 1905 to 1928, Wading River was also the site of an LIRR demonstration farm. Another was east of Medford Station on the Main Line. The Wading River station closed in 1938. During World War II the Benson House was used by the FBI as the site of a secret counterintelligence operation to feed the Nazis deceptive information.

The hamlet of Wading River had a year-round population of less than 500. But during the summer months, hundreds of visitors filled the town to use Wildwood State Park, the cottages on the cliffs and dunes and, of course, the beaches.

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.
