Custom Aquarium in Pompano Beach, Fl

Custom Aquarium

Champion Aquariums has proudly served South Florida for over 25 years, specializing in designing, fabricating, and maintaining custom aquariums for residential and commercial clients. Our licensed and experienced aquarium specialists bring expert knowledge of aquatic ecosystems, water chemistry, and marine biology to every project.
We understand that a custom aquarium is more than just décor —it’s a living ecosystem that requires precision engineering, aesthetic artistry, and ongoing care. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and scientific expertise ensures that your aquarium is both a beautiful and healthy environment for aquatic life.

What Is a Custom Aquarium?

A custom aquarium is a personalized aquatic system designed specifically to match your unique space, preferences, and the needs of your chosen aquatic life. Unlike standard off-the-shelf tanks, custom aquariums are tailored in every aspect—size, shape, materials, and ecosystem type. Whether you envision a sleek wall-mounted design, a large centerpiece, or a freestanding statement piece, custom aquariums are built to fit seamlessly into your environment.

Beyond aesthetics, these aquariums consider every technical detail: structural support, filtration systems, lighting requirements, and the biological needs of fish and corals. They offer flexibility in both freshwater and saltwater setups.

Champion Aquariums specializes in crafting bespoke aquariums that are not only visually stunning but also sustainable and functional. With years of expertise in aquarium design and marine science, we transform your vision into a thriving underwater world enhancing the beauty and atmosphere of your home or business.

Common Questions We Hear From Our Clients

When designing a custom aquarium, it's important to consider the location and ensure it is viewable and accessible. The tank size and compatibility with the fish species, as well as their care requirements, temperament, activity level, longevity, visual appeal, and your level of experience, should be taken into account. Additionally, you must decide between glass and acrylic materials, choose a freshwater or saltwater tank, and be prepared for maintenance

Tank size is important because it affects the health of the fish, providing enough space for swimming and ensuring a proper air to water surface ratio for oxygen absorption. Unsuitable small volumes can lead to unstable environments and insufficient filtration.

When choosing a location for an aquarium, consider the available space, structural integrity of the floor, accessibility to equipment, availability of electrical power, traffic around the area, exposure to direct sunlight, and temperature fluctuations from drafts or air vents.

We will absolutely help choose the perfect lighting for your custom aquarium. We'll take into consideration things like the intended marine life and their specific light requirements, the room the aquarium will be located in, as well as the aesthetic of your location. We also take into consideration factors like energy efficiency, heat output, and the light's ability to provide a spectrum suitable for plant and animal growth.
