Aquarium Design and setup

Maltby Aquatics specialises in setting up Coral reef Aquariums, from the design of aquarium to the selection of all the necessary equipment with vast knowledge of the best products available at very competitive prices. We cater for both large and small nano reef aquariums and offer a glass drilling service along with full plumbing service to incorporate sump systems to keep all the equipment out of the main aquarium hidden away in the cabinet. We mainly recommend the Berlin method of reef keeping, using live rock for filtration and to create stunning reef landscapes. Maltby Aquatics will set the aquarium up and take all the hassle of getting everything sorted and offer advice throughout the process.  We can design any aquarium to suit any fishes and corals needs and will advise on stocking selections. We offer the complete package to realise a stunning reef display.
