Designing

I have been very busy lately with some big projects. For starters they all came in within a few weeks of one another and that required some quick thinking. I started with the initial consultation to get an idea of what was wanted and what could actually be done. To understand this concept let me explain.

Three things to consider:
1. Natural light exposure – if there are lots of windows in the area of the aquarium you can have major algae problems
2. Electrical – you need proper GIF outlets that can handle high voltage mechanics
3. Water – for your larger systems it is always good to have an automatic top off system, so you will need a water line in the area of your aquarium

This is just the beginning of things to factor in and of course I take care of all these things so you can sit back worry free. Choosing the correct mechanics is so crucial because it will dictate the outcome of your aquarium. A simple rule of thumb for the correct pump choice that will run the entire system is making sure that the total volume of water travels through the filters five times per hour. Realize that you can never have too much filtration so if you want to double or triple the hourly flow rate you can. I make sure to always do so because once you start adding u.v. sterilizers, chillers, refugiums and all the plumbing you will be glad you bought a larger pump.
Sometimes people don’t want a service company to take care of their aquarium which is fine with us. So what we do is build a very easy to use self maintaining system. What people fail to realize is that any type of aquarium will always need monthly water changes, filter replacements, filter media replacements and so on. Let’s just say you have an aquarium that is 300 gallons and you will need to perform at least a 20% water change every month which would total 60 gallons. That could be a major back breaker and would make you not want to do it which ultimately would lead to problems with your aquarium. So that is why we build a water changing station that really only requires a few minutes of your time and you will not even break a sweat using it. In the very near future we will be building a system just like this. I will make sure to upload video and pics to show you how it works.
