Custom Aquariums - New Trend for Luxury Homes

Aquariums as large as 700 gallons are popping up in the most luxurious of homes and apartments.   Only those who can afford to spare the space and the cash, which adds up to multiple thousands of dollars.
Global interior designers say that custom aquariums are becoming the hot statement piece in spacious expensive apartments for two reasons

Designer tanks are popular pieces at upscale restaurants, lounges, and clubs, which provide guests with inspiration for the aquarium’s home installation. What’s more is fantasy fish tanks are a definite way to impress for the wealthy.  Custom LED fish tank lighting, exotic corals, and super expensive fish make up the mix of these aquariums.

On top of the expensive cost of the tank itself, its installation, and constant maintenance, these aquarium owners aren’t stocking their tanks with run of the mill goldfish.

Exotic fish, sharks, and eels can cost hundreds —if not thousands — of dollars each.
