Setup & Installation

There are many phases to setup and installation process. We make it look easy, but creating a premium saltwater aquarium is no simple task.

How are We Different?

Discovery Aquatics is the only Minnesota company to exclusively set up and maintain true coral reef aquariums. We bring the natural beauty of the ocean into your home rather than using fake corals and plastic structures. Although these synthetic aquariums are easier to maintain, they do not provide the life and vibrant colors you would expect in a saltwater aquarium.

• We create a truly unique experience by offering over 1,000 species of eye-catching and intriguing fish, corals, shrimp, snails, starfish, crabs and clams.
• We build healthy client relationships by establishing expectations through service contracts and agreements.

What Does a Complete Aquarium Setup & Installation Include?

Discovery Aquatics offers free-standing and in-wall aquarium installation. Most free-standing installations can be completed in a number of days. In-wall systems take greater planning and may require the use of a general contractor, electrician, plumber or structural engineer.

We are proud to use and install the following equipment on our systems:

• Aquariums by Reef Mania, Oceanic, All-Glass, Aqueon and Perfecto.
• Custom Made Cabinetry or Stock Stands and Canopies by Oceanic.
• Metal Halide, T5, VHO, and PC Lighting by IceCap, Gieseman, PFO, XM, Ushio, Radium, Coralife, AquaMedic, Sunlight Supply and Lumenarc.
• Water Pumps and Powerheads by Sequence, Iwaki, Panworld, Tunze and Ocean Runner.
• Protein Skimmers/Filters by ReefMania, Deltec, Euro-Reef and Octopus.
• Reactors by ReefMania, Deltec and Korallin.
• Electronic Controllers by Neptune and Digital Aquatics.
• Sumps and Refugiums by ReefMania.
• Testing Equipment by Pinpoint, ELOS and Salifert.
• 5 and 6 Stage RO/DI Water Purification Units.
• Automatic Water Top-Off Systems.
• Schedule 40 PVC Tubing and Schedule 80 Gray PVC Fittings.
