Our Process
From Initial Idea to Ongoing Care
A structured process helps ensure each aquatic environment is practical, healthy, and suited to its location.
-
Consultation
Projects involving aquariums under 200 gallons can typically begin with a phone consultation. Aquariums over 200 gallons generally require an in-person consultation so the space, access, utilities, and installation requirements can be properly evaluated.
-
Design
The aquarium, filtration, equipment, aquascape, and care plan are selected according to the space, livestock goals, visual preferences, and maintenance expectations.
-
Installation
The system is assembled, positioned, connected, and prepared for operation. Custom plumbing is provided for traditional sump-filter systems when applicable. All-in-one sump systems are excluded from custom plumbing. Certain aquarium systems may use the manufacturer-provided plumbing unless another configuration is specified during the design process.
-
Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance can be adapted to the client’s preferred level of involvement. Clients may take a hands-on role with guidance or choose a more hands-off service plan managed by Hydro Habitats.
