3. Find a Supplier
Before doing anything else, you'll need to shop around to figure out where
you will want to buy your supplies from. It will pay huge dividends moving
forward if you find a good store with knowledgeable people who can help
you in designing your custom fish tank. Finding a good store may be worth
driving somewhat further to find a place that meets all of your needs. For
example, if you live in the San Antonio area, it might be worth the time to
drive to Aquatic Interiors, which specializes in saltwater aquariums. By going
to a specialist shop, you will easily recoup the cost of the drive in the form of
better deals and expert advice.

4. Know Your Animals
Early on in the design stage, and certainly before purchasing any fish, you
will want to know what the animals you plan on keeping require. You will
then have to make adjustments to the size and shape of your custom fish tank
as needed. In general, invertebrates and small fish are easy to plan for by
simply ensuring you have space for rocks and amenities. Larger fish can be
more problematic, and many varieties of tropical fish require special types of
coral or sea anemones that they share symbiotic relationships with. Those of
you who want to keep sharks, which are not recommended for the beginner
saltwater aquarium owner, will want open spaces, sandy bottoms, and no
sharp edges.

5. Plan Ahead for Filtration
The second largest concern will be how to filter your saltwater aquarium's
water from nitrates, which build up in far larger quantities than fresh water
systems due to the biology of salt water fish. Live rock or filter fish are
popular, beautiful, and effective ways to filter nitrates, but will have to be
replaced occasionally. However, chemicals can also filter the nitrates, but at a
slightly higher price tag.
