Each
aquarium is manufactured to order to specific customer requirements
from a wide range of standard options which can be discussed in detail
prior to purchase.
The
Deltec Aquarium is not just a beautiful piece of furniture and craftsmanship
it also incorporates cutting edge technology and innovation in its systemised
approach to fish keeping by use of a wide range of Deltec ancillary
equipment found within the cabinet.
Every
piece of glass is machine or hand polished
extending even the stress bars to give a total quality product that
has no rival. The cabinets have a sturdy metal frame and a waterproof
base as well as adjustable feet to allow you to level the tank on most
flat surfaces.
Aquariums
are supplied pre-assembled and piped up ready to go and even larger
aquariums which are a company speciality can be supplied this way if
access and cranage on site is available.
Very
large tanks are built on site from pre-cut and polished glass or assembled
in sections pre-formed in the factory.
The
specification of the aquarium system is limited only by imagination
and financial constraint. On standard systems the cost generally increases
depending upon the customers choice of construction and finish from
Laminate to SoftLine.

separate tabs for further details.
Laminate
The
laminate aquariums are made using a high quality 3 mm melamine laminate
which is available in 9 standard finishes. This material is very strong
and obviously totally resistant to fresh or salt water. The joints are
carefully formed to give a perfect mitre on the corners and the edges
are finished with a special matching extruded section.
TrendLine
This
style of system should be classed more as a piece of fine furniture
with a built in aquarium, as the same degree of time and care is put
into its construction and finish.
The
aquarium edging and cabinet once manufactured is fully sealed and coated
with a multi stage two pack automotive paint system which is available
in a solid colour or metallic base coat and lacquer finish.
This
quality of coating ensures that the aquarium will last for many years
without warping or deterioration.
We
have many customers who are still using their aquariums after 15 years.
The
choice of colour for TrendLine and SoftLine aquariums is unlimited and
solid
wood finishes are also available in this design to match more traditional
decor.
SoftLine
This
format of aquarium is similar in finish and form to the Trend line but
is manufactured using a different construction method as is necessary
for the larger tanks over 2.5-3.0m and all bow fronted aquariums.
Whereas
the frame for the Trend line is constructed and painted in one piece
into which the tank sits, the Soft line is manufactured in several separate
pieces which are individually painted and applied to the tank during
construction.
