How Custom Aquariums Are Made | Full Factory Tour (Plus New Tank!)

In today's video, we show how custom aquariums are made. with a full tour of the Custom Aquariums facility. We also picked up our very own custom aquarium, which is seen at the end of the video.

Custom Aquariums gave us a full tour and explanation of the process they follow when building custom aquariums - it was very cool to see! They also build custom stands, canopies and seamless sump filtration.
Custom Aquariums can make practically any size with multiple glass aquarium material options and at the same time have unmatched strength and integrity. They truly go the extra step to ensure the tank is top quality, and provide a lifetime warranty as well.

I build boats for a living 20 plus years, I would love to have a job building aquariums..for me that would be any job. 😊

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you - appreciate it!

[@hookedonfishing2095]

So all 4 glass sides sat on top of the bottom glass?

[@MrKevinkj2002]

Hello Cichlid Bros, I know this is a older video, but I was wondering if they leave those silicone bumper spacers in? They look like normal cabinet door bumps. About what spacing they do on those spacers? Thanks guys, you guys do some great informational videos.

[@hookedonfishing2095]

Nice video

[@toliscy]

Where can I get those silicon spacers I searched all over the internet

[@rdred8693]

Look up "Cabinet Door Bumpers".

[@markknudsen1755]

Very interesting! Thanks for recommending the video. So do they do smaller tanks as custom as well? Like 28-30 gal or that not cost effective

[@CichlidBros]

Yep they do. Not sure about the cost efficiencies of the smaller tanks though. They seem to specialize in the mid to large tank sizes but could do anything I’m sure

[@brianp2707]

Been going back and forth between Custom Aquariums and Glass Cages for a custom tank. Both great companies

[@1stexecutiveconstruction]

Same here. Which one you went with? I want to order a 150+ gallon tank.

[@CichlidBros]

I’m getting my 2nd custom aquarium this week. Absolutely love their tanks

[@brianp2707]

​@Cichlid Bros sure rub it in 🤣

[@djack8430]

Been thinking about getting an custom aquarium..aquarium for my giant musk. Had em in a 150 for a couple years before the seems leaked, not sure if it was musk turtle related but he does have pretty giant claws. Afraid of glass leaking again but miss actually being able to see my turtle.

[@israelsalcedo2073]

Where can you get that plastic from

[@arvandconfec4234]

[@tntcichlids8015]

it's crazy how expensive custom tanks can be 4 to 5 grand its crazy I bought a custom cube acrylic tank 220 saltwater tank used with stand beautiful tank picked it up less then 300 dollars at my local fish store what a deal I seen one similar to mine for 2 grand used with a sump n mine came with a 90 gallon acrylic sump what a score I had to buy it

[@mattmonteith2175]

Bigger the better I have 150 gallon aquarium plus a 90gal aquarium saltwater

[@kamleshdhruv5217]

Hi, I wanted to make my custom aquarium which will be 12ft in length and with height of 6ft and width of 5 feet. I live in India and saw your video and had questions to prolong the life span of the aquarium with the size mentioned. Here are few questions I had. 1. What is an average life span of silicon made aquarium. 2. Will a normal alluminium bracing suffice. 3. The inner edges of aquarium if coated with combination of acrylic and extra layer of silicon to prevent the silicon layer of the edges. Would this increase the life span of the aquarium? Because this was the water contact with inner edge of silicon will then be 0%. Waiting for you answers. Thanks & Regards.

[@tls5669]

Question is, do they ship?

[@CichlidBros]

Yep, anywhere in the US
