About Us: Custom Aquariums
Our Journey Begins (2012)
Custom Aquariums was founded in 2012 with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring the beauty and tranquility of custom aquariums into every home and business. We embarked on this journey with a passion for creating unique aquatic environments that surpass expectations.
Our story began as a small but dedicated team, driven by our love for marine life and an unmet need in the market. We identified a gap in online resources, particularly when it came to comprehensive guidance on designing and maintaining customized aquariums. This inspired us to create a one-stop destination for all things aquarium-related.
