Ready to Take the Plunge? Like many other companies, Custom Marine Aquaria in Mesa started in the garage at home with the dream of building a company. Now 25 years later, this Arizona aquarium leader’s reputation is built on unmatched service and exceptional aquarium designs.

Not only does Custom Marine Aquaria design custom residential and commercial aquariums, but they are committed to providing post-installation maintenance. Having worked closely with industry leaders like The Boston Aquarium Marine Fishes Department and Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, Custom Marine Aquaria is also available as consultants for any large aquarium projects.

At Custom Marine Aquaria, you’ll find aquarium design experts, giving thought to the whole installation process to ensure a spectacular display in your home or business!

Saltwater Aquariums. Starting up a saltwater aquarium is an exciting venture. Custom Marine Aquaria’s complete aquatic systems consist of aquarium cabinets, efficient life support, and custom manufactured acrylic aquariums. They can also provide live-rock reef setups, skeletal coral displays, or fabricated coral reef inserts. Once installation is complete, Custom Marine Aquaria can maintain the aquariums, typically on a weekly basis.

Their Hobby is Fish Tanks, Their Passion is Reef Tanks! Reef tank maintenance is much more intensive than normal fish tank care.  Keeping perfect conditions for a reef environment to thrive requires careful attention to detail and lots of time. Custom Marine Aquaria’s reef tank maintenance crew will keep your tank looking pristine and your corals happy!

Less Work, More Fun! Custom Marine Aquaria is proud to announce their new Rent-A-Tank plan. They understand your desire to have an aquarium in your office without the hassles of purchasing and maintaining your own tank. For a reasonable monthly rate, you get an aquarium and cabinet filled with beautiful decorations, fish, and best of all the monthly maintenance is included. Having fish shouldn’t be more work. It should be more fun!

Customize Your Aquarium Project. Whether a small in-wall aquarium installation or a massive 20-foot tank, Custom Marine Aquaria has you covered. They’re happy to meet with you and/or your architect to design a perfect aquarium for your space. Ensuring aquarium requirements are met in the planning stage can make the difference between an aquarium that looks like it was added to the area or an area that was designed to have the aquarium as its focal point. Before construction begins, this is also the time to address maintenance requirements such as aquarium access, as well as plumbing, electrical, and ventilation needs.

Endless Design Possibilities! Custom Marine Aquaria uses custom manufactured acrylic aquariums that are made from American manufactured acrylic. These are available in just about any size and shape you can imagine, including odd angles and curves, as well as cylinders, bull nose, and bow front aquariums.

Custom Marine Aquaria also recommends heavier gauge acrylics to reduce distortion and stress-related issues. All aquariums are drilled and plumbed so that the life support is neatly tucked away within the aquarium cabinetry. The design possibilities are truly endless!

Home Hobbyist Options. Custom Marine Aquaria has selected the following packages for their economic popularity and suitability to many home applications. These Marine Ready Packages include the glass aquarium with black overflow box, Black or Cherry Finish wood stand and canopy, Sump filtration, external pump, plumbing, Araga-Alive Sand, and LED lighting. These marine ready packages do not include salt water, decorations, or any advanced filtration options.

These are basic residential grade, home hobbyist maintained, filtration systems that will support aquarium life. However, there are certain upgrades available to enhance the aquarium environment. Arrangements can be made for Custom Marine Aquaria to do the plumbing and life support installation, as well as supply other necessary items to be ready to stock with marine life. These Marine Ready Packages can also be easily installed by the handy do-it-yourselfer.

Introducing the SPACEARIUM! This design concept, with its streamlined aesthetic appeal and innovative technology, makes an outstanding design statement in any interior setting. It’s a new and unique way to reinvent your indoor space.

Custom built for each installation, no stand or bulky furniture is required to support the Spacearium. You can create a relaxing atmosphere without cluttering your living space or blocking the light. In commercial application, your valuable floor space is saved for such things as product display or customer seating. From any vantage point in the room, you can enjoy the marine life and beautiful seascape with the Spacearium!

Fish and Invertebrates: Purchase your aquarium livestock at Custom Marine Aquaria’s fish store. Fish species include: Angelfish, Blennies, Butterflies, Clownfish, Damsels, Eels, Gobies, Groupers, Puffers, Tangs, Trigger Fish, and Wrasse. If you’re looking for invertebrates, give Crabs, Shrimp, Snails, or Starfish a try in your tank.

Meet the Owner: Mark Collier, the Arizona Fish Guy, has 32 years of experience in the aquarium business. As a young boy, the Phoenix native was fascinated by fish and aquariums. Fresh out of high school, Collier says he began working for the “top aquarium guy in Phoenix.” For the next ten years, Collier designed and installed tanks, while also doing extensive research on fish.

In the late 1990s, Collier opened his own business, Custom Marine Aquaria. Collier enjoys creating designs that push the boundaries of typical tanks. He estimates his creations number several hundred. No matter the scope of the project, Collier approaches each and every installation as if it were a custom masterpiece.
