The Acrylic Aquarium Co Story

My fascination with aquariums began as a child, but it wasn't the small glass boxes that captivated me. I was drawn to the grand public aquariums, the massive displays teeming with life, the sheer scale of the underwater worlds they contained. I dreamed of creating such awe-inspiring environments myself. While glass offered a glimpse into these ecosystems, I quickly recognized its limitations, particularly when it came to large-scale projects. The fragility, the weight, the limited design flexibility – all presented challenges. I envisioned a better way, a way to build truly monumental aquariums with unparalleled clarity, strength, and design freedom. That vision, fueled by the potential of acrylic, led to the birth of Acrylic Aquarium Co.

At Acrylic Aquarium Co., we're driven by three core principles:

From Concept to Creation

Acrylic Aquarium Co. is a global provider of premium acrylic aquariums, known for our innovative designs and exceptional quality. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing process, combined with a dedication to customer satisfaction, makes us the ideal choice for your next aquarium. Discover the steps involved below.

Raw Material Reserve & Polymerization

We maintain a stock of high-quality liquid acrylic (MMA) as our raw material. This liquid is then transformed into solid acrylic sheets through a process called polymerization, creating the building blocks for your aquarium.

Initial Aggregation

In the early stages of polymerization, the liquid acrylic molecules begin to clump together. This "initial aggregation" is a key step in forming the final acrylic structure, influencing its strength and clarity.

Milling (First Pass)

The newly formed acrylic sheets undergo initial milling to achieve a consistent thickness and smooth surface, preparing them for further processing.

Thickness Compound

For thicker aquarium panels, multiple sheets are bonded together using a specialized "thickness compound." This creates the necessary strength to hold large volumes of water.

Milling (Second Pass)

After the thickness compounding, the bonded sheets are milled again to ensure perfect uniformity and smoothness across the now thicker panel.

Oven Annealing

The acrylic sheets are carefully heated in an oven in a process called annealing. This relieves any internal stresses in the material, increasing its strength and preventing cracking.

Cutting, Chamfering, Grinding & Polishing

The acrylic sheets are precisely cut to the desired shapes for your aquarium. Edges are chamfered (slightly angled), ground smooth, and then polished to a crystal-clear finish.

Quality Inspection

Every piece of acrylic is thoroughly inspected for any imperfections. This rigorous quality control ensures that only the highest quality components are used in your aquarium.

Packing

The finished acrylic components are carefully packaged to protect them during transport and ensure they arrive at your location in pristine condition.
