Top 10 Outstanding Aquariums – Custom Aquarium Design

January 2011

Aquarium Architecture are delighted to find out that they have made Practical Fish Keeping’s “Top 10 Outstanding Aquariums” list. The aquarium in question is the London Townhouse case study and the article reads as follows:

“This reef aquarium was designed by Aquarium Architecture for a luxurious home in London.

The tank is 3.2m x 1m height x 0.8m depth and holds 5,000 l. It’s made from 19mm Opt-White glass and there’s a granite-clad steel cabinet. 500kg of Fijian live rock was used in the set-up and the tank contains mostly soft corals with some LPS but no SPS corals, due to the nutrient level in the tank from the high fish load – there are over 200 fish in the tank.

A built-in module emails weekly temperature and salinity readings.

How much did it cost? Well, the light is a special custom built 2.5m Giesemann unit, which cost £8,000 alone. As to the price of the whole set-up, only Aquarium Architecture and their client know that, but our guess is to come up with a figure in your head and then double it!”

With such range to choose from it’s fantastic to see one of our aquariums make such a diverse and beautiful shortlist.
