One of the most innovative pieces of furniture in the aquatic world today is the fish tank table. The unique style of an aquarium table adds sheer elegance and eye-catching beauty as a focal point in a home lounge, hotel lobby, restaurant, or reception area. The mesmerizing underwater scenes can be viewed from every angle with transparent sides and glass top, providing endless entertainment and relaxation.
These impressive table aquariums come in an extensive array of designs from square, rectangular, oval and round to unconventional triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, L-shapes and curved shapes. Many manufacturers also provide the option of custom-built aquarium tables, according to your specifications so the ideas are endless. Some are manufactured completely in acrylic and glass while others have metal finishes, solid wood, laminate finishes with wood effect, or colored plastic. Like the designs, the sizes of aquarium tables are wide-ranging. Typically, 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 increase in size. Ones which are much cheaper than this do not get good reviews for durability and have a noted problem of leaking as they are not made from the same quality of material. Aquarium tables are also available as 60 gallon fish tanks aquariums and much larger up to board room tables.
A smaller aquarium table is best suited to freshwater aquarium fish while the large, rectangular tables can accommodate saltwater aquarium fish, which need more space and greater surface area. Even for those who do not want to keep fish, a coffee table aquarium is a stunning piece of furniture that will enhance any living space, with a wide range of decorative plants, ornaments, colored substrate, soft luminous lighting and elegant designs and finishes. Oxygen pumps can also be obtained which let out air bubbles and give the impression of a living aquatic habitat.
The needed filtration systems, lighting and pumps are integrated in the system, usually in the enclosed base of the fish tank table for your convenience and not to detract from the aesthetic appeal of the table.
