Just another day at the office!

This awesome exhibit that we installed many years ago, receives 3 service visits per week. We do this not just for the ongoing maintenance of the Aquarium, but also because we can hand feed all of the sharks three days a week making sure they are receiving proper nutrition.

Happy Earth Day!

We are lovers of all animals in and out of the water .

We asked that we all do our part to keep these amazing creatures on this planet healthy, and living a good long life!

We have several new installations coming up. We will be starting this 550 gallon custom reef aquarium in the next couple of weeks.

This will be built into a wall, framed In, and will have a fully custom filtration room built behind it. This will will give proper room for all the equipment needed, and the most efficient maintenance possible.

Stay connected for more on this project and several others coming up .

We designed and installed this custom Aquarium in Louisville a few years back. This aquarium has some unique features, including a hidden pocket door to conceal the filtration room behind the Aquarium. The life-support system also includes some additional reactors for things like bio pellets and GFO keep our water parameters perfect, due to the fact that this Aquarium has quite a few large fish and some sharks which gives us a larger bio load. With Apex monitoring and weekly visits by our local Louisville technician, Chris , this Aquarium is always in perfect working order.

Every new custom kitchen needs a custom aquarium!

We have a lot of great new exhibits to be installed in the next few months.

Can anyone take a guess where this aquarium is going?

We installed this 20 foot long custom aquarium back in 2018.

A few months ago the client came to us and said “I love that aquarium, but I would like change the theme”. This exhibit what setup with larger more aggressive fish, and now the client wanted to change it to a reef aquarium.

So we removed the aggressive fish that were not compatible with the new reef environment, upgraded the lighting, add more to the filtration, expanded the control and capability of the Apex system, and added additional flow in the Aquarium.

The client was thrilled with the results so far. We had added around 35 corals to this exhibit so far. We have quite a bit more that we’re going to be adding over the next several months, so stay connected for updates.

Please see more photos of this Aquarium in the comments .

We have been so busy we have not had a chance to catch everyone up on some of our custom projects. Here’s a small sampling of what we’ve been working on.

From aquariums in home libraries , to lake houses, basement family rooms, newly remodeled kitchens, custom in wall freshwater tanks, and even a L shaped turtle exhibit in a state park with custom built in basking areas. These are just a small example of what we’ve been working on lately.

Stay connected we have some amazing projects that will be sharing with you all here shortly. A couple of these are really over the top, and one of them is in a pretty amazing location!

As always, they knock it out of the park.

We are happy to introduce the newest edition to this amazing exhibit, The Fly River Turtle.

Fly River turtles are named for a river they inhabit in Papua New Guinea but are also found elsewhere, including lowland Papua New Guinea, northern Australia and southern Indonesia.

They are mostly a fully aquatic turtle. They grow up to 27” and can weigh up to 66 pounds. This guy is 14” and about 11 pounds.

The Fly river turtles are omnivores, but most of their diet is derived from plant material and fruits.

We are very happy to report that this guy has adapted to his new home and is doing well!

Please see more videos in the comments below.
