A Fish Table Can Be A Stunning Certerpiece!

By Jill Kaestner


One of the most cutting edge pieces of furniture in the marine world today is the fish tank table. The one-off style of an aquarium table adds sheer elegance and attention-grabbing beauty as a focus in a home lounge, hotel lobby, cafe, or reception area. The mesmerizing underwater scenes can be observed from each angle with clear sides and glass top, providing unending entertainment and relaxation.

These impressive table aquariums (see also the tower aquariums) come in an extensive spread of designs from square, oblong, oval and round to novel triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, L-shapes and curved shapes. Many manufacturers also provide the choice of custom-built aquarium tables, according to your directions so the concepts are endless. Some are made absolutely in acrylic and glass while others have metal finishes, solid wood, laminate finishes with wood effect, or coloured plastic. Like the designs, the sizes of aquarium tables are wide-ranging.

Generally an aquarium table which would be placed in a living room could contain between 15 to 40 gallons of water with the price varying from around $430 to $640, as the coffee table aquariums enlarge in size. Ones which are much cheaper than this do not get good reviews for sturdiness and have a highly regarded problem of trickling as they are not made from the same sort of quality of material. Aquarium tables are also available as 60 gallon fish tanks aquariums and much larger up to ski room tables.

A smaller aquarium table is most fitted to freshwater aquarium fish while the enormous, oblong tables can accommodate saltwater aquarium fish, which need more space and larger surface area. Even for those that do not want to keep fish, an occasional table aquarium is a spectacular piece of furniture which will enhance any living space, with a wide range of decorative plants, ornaments, colored substrate, soft luminous lighting and classy designs and finishes. Oxygen pumps can also be got which let out air bubbles and give the impression of a living marine habitat.

The needed filtering systems, lighting and pumps are integrated in the system, usually in the enclosed base of the fish tank table for the sake of convenience and not to detract from the cultured appeal of the table.
