How Custom Aquariums Are Made - Factory Tour

I recently announced that I'm working with Custom Aquariums on a 300 gallon display tank. In this video, I go to Wisconsin to visit their headquarters to see firsthand how their tanks, stand, and equipment are made.

Nice! I used to work at All-Glass Aquarium in Wisconsin in the large tank Sept for about 6 years. Built them up to 210gal. It was a fun job

[@jamariuswest]

2:54 where can I find good silicone like that? I need to reseal my whole 150 gallon aquarium from strach bc of a leak tank size: 4foot by 2ft by 30inches

[@aquariogoias3910]

Aparentemente vai ficar lindo esse aquário

[@TheFreakdude42]

How can I get a job like this?

[@hfjfbdhsnndjj5182]

هل من الممكن إرساله إلا العراق وكم السعر رجاء الرد🥰

[@wyzemann]

No matter how many KZbinrs “hang out” at Custom Aquariums, I’ll never tire of seeing their warehouse operations. You sir have just served me up another hefty slice of happy pie😀 with this upload. I cannot wait to see your behemoth aquarium and to eventually order one of my own! Oh Steve, patience is a virtue for which I’m sorely lacking🙃.

[@thepassionreef]

Thank you for sharing this video...it was nice for Custom Aquariums to allow this tour...it was good to see the hardwork they put in to make what we call it as a Glass Box .....i subbed.

[@drinny26]

These people have a really cool business and clearly they do a great job! Thanks for sharing the video.

[@TheBudgetAquarist]

Please re-thank them for allowing you to share their factory. Many places won't!

[@libtard7095]

I have retired from the aquarium trade with over 20 years in the aquarium business. This operation is VERY impressive!

[@Lakers24_7]

Whats the best silicone sir??

[@Spyros_Mazarakis]

How can you match the glass edges? With what kind of glue or with what else way? Or silicone is just the answer as usual?

[@HUKIT.]

I’m glad I’m not the only fan of glass as opposed to acrylic. Can’t wait to see it set up!

[@silencieux4464]

Beyond amazing . Never knew something like that exists . I wanna get my tank made here so bad . All I need is money 😂

[@huntermcdonald6880]

[@jeremyyong3975]

Man! This is freaking awesome!! I think I saw less than 5 staffs! They made it look so easy and calm. Those equipments and machines are brilliant!! Wow! I am impressed💙

[@StevePolandAquatics]

There are a lot of staff we didn’t show. But it’s definitely a lean operation. All talented people.

[@jeremyyong3975]

Cool 👍 thanks for sharing info. Nevertheless still awesome video 💙

[@4677estrella]

Wow thanks for sharing Steve!!

[@ultimatefishkeeping8]

[@mcroman-superfeat]

Nice to see and show - THX...

[@boostjunkieMike]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@nathangleason2618]

your comment about drilling the holes was pretty funny! we cracked a 240 gallon trying it, then wound up with a Custom Aquarium tank ourselves.. neat place

[@paulsampugnaro6919]

Pretty cool. Looking forward to it arriving at your house. So we’re up to 300 gallons lol

[@mikef3300]

I work at a glass company and see this every day lol. In the process of building a 90 gallon tank at home right now. I like the trim that they use on their tanks being aluminum rather the plastic

[@hollysommerfeld9277]

Go 500 gallons 90 mope

[@MorsCertaMoraIncerta]

What is the type/name of spacer at 2:54

[@mayae.7951]

Great video 👍 THANK you

[@cesarespinal8151]

I am going to build my own thanks for the info 👍

[@btbow6962]

Frûq, that was beautiful to watch.... Thank you!

[@FreeSwimmer]

Quite a cool video.. Enjoyed watching the assembly like that.. Definitely faster than my 1210 gallon system build. lol But that was all by myself.. :) Will surely look forward to seeing your set !

[@Shanidar1]

Wow, what a professional set up! Nothing like this exist in Australia. Most of our tanks are built by backyarders.

[@mariusscholtz3867]

Custom Aquariums looks so nice.

[@frankcava8073]

[@aaronkunkel2022]

Cool video man

[@frankreynolds445]

The black silicon makes the tank look even more epic.

[@ifleitas]

which video brother the best thanks a question that glue use and where you can buy and what is the name

[@alberthazelnuts6372]

Nice aquariums

[@josejuliooteros3178]

ME GUSTA MUCHO EL ACUARIO GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO Y FELIZ NAVIDAD Y PROSPERO 2020

[@efrainscichlids9038]

Awesome

[@stitchwod]

Nice. The unboxing at your end wouldn't be as good if we saw it going in the box initially :)

[@logan3815]

This was so cool to see, one of those things you wonder about. Well at least I wonder about it lol.

[@georgegeorge6936]

what silicone did they use ? was it momentive rtv 100 ?

[@invain143]

Nice! My dream Tank!!! 10 ft

[@suryaaquariumchannel554]

cool my friend, I wish you happiness and health, greetings of success

[@maxdoembate1463]

Muito bom. Very good.

[@jdofishtank6018]

Wow that’s awesome, great video, I wouldn’t mind working there, maybe the employees get free tanks! Lol

[@carlosvillegas8775]

Where can I buy one of those computarized glass cutters? I want to build my own 20 gallons tank.

[@prolificbreedaquatics]

Second ... cool behind the scenes

[@user-hy5mm4kk9j]

Super!

[@michaellui74]

Great video.can you tell me the website to buy these aquariums?? Thank you

[@ajSvenegas]

Custom Quality!

[@aquaticenthusiastneditzxav8678]

I'm confident to use this aquarium

[@AJKAquaria]

Pretty incredible. I've seen a plasma cutter on sheetmetal, which is similar to what they have for glass. Technology is crazy...

[@genmockify]

Great video!!! Thank you.

[@elyh777]

Do you know what spacer they used at the bottom to be able to inject the silicon?

[@asingh251]

Nice

[@Withtychannel]

That’s How it’s done!

[@manolingz]

i wish you can make a video on how ADA aquariums are made. they are so clean at the seams, they look like no silicone is used. they also use low-iron super clear glass.

[@christianhoward7943]

What kind of silicone sealant do they use?

[@DW7887]

Why do must of your glass tanks in the states have those frames top and buttom? Is thicker glass so expensive or why you need to rely on them for reinforcement?

[@anthonyleousis8780]

Amazing Video Steve! Thanks for sharing! One question: Which silicone are they using to make the aquariums?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

I think they would prefer that I not share that info

[@Nick-fw5uj]

ASI aquarium silicone and they use the black variant.

[@ameetkumarmaharana]

What are the clamps called that hold 2 panels in place ?

[@TheBudgetAquarist]

Wish it was like the Nestle tour and you got free samples at the end.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Hahaha

[@captainwin6333]

A big dodd of silicon in your hand.

[@mr.boombastic8612]

Lol

[@jamesrogers4674]

I done some contract work at a Nestle plant several years ago and never got any samples of anything. They ripped me off.

[@manuelrojas9610]

Any idea were to order that kind of frame? I need a 48x24

[@conman20000]

What silicone are they using?

[@jameslyons7166]

How much does it cost to be built, and what's the website. Nice!

[@mark.r8900]

hi,what do they use to keep the glass panels from touching each other? do they use some kind of spacers?

[@MorsCertaMoraIncerta]

I see a spacer used at 2.54

[@kinvo1982able]

My dream house will include a nice custom made aquarium just like this .

[@gerrenbullard8787]

What are average costs for salt water tank set ups... I would like to build a large tank for a restaurant has to be wide and long but height should be managable for reaching in and grabbing orders

[@sebastianhugely7035]

How do you get sealant between the base on the sides?

[@dibyendumondal7586]

What is the width and height of an aquarium of 4 feet long? I would be very benefited if you help sir!

[@njcraz]

I wish we have like this in my country because what i want always in my tank is custom size. And its hard for a manual builder sometimes to cut thick glass

[@rubensanchez1797]

excellent jobs.... good luck & sell those by millions.... made in USA.
