Yes. We provide custom aquarium design and installation for both private residences and commercial spaces — homes, offices, restaurants, and other businesses.

We’re based in Long Island, NY, and specialize in installations there — but we offer aquarium installation nationwide. Travel and installation fees for your specific location are discussed during your free consultation.

Ongoing maintenance is only available for installations completed locally in Long Island, NY. For installations elsewhere, we’re happy to recommend a reputable servicing company in your area.

Timeline varies by project scope, but a typical installation takes 2–4 days on-site. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

Within a few business days of your call, you’ll receive a full design proposal and a fixed quote. Once you approve it, we schedule your installation date and begin sourcing equipment and livestock — no surprise costs once work begins.

Yes — see The KaveMan Signature Guarantee above. Your tank is guaranteed to arrive stable and built to the agreed design, backed by a workmanship warranty on equipment and setup.

It’s how I add fish to a brand-new tank on day one — no weeks-long fishless cycle, no waiting around. I dose Seachem Prime and Stability from the start to establish a safe, stable environment immediately, so your tank is partially stocked and thriving from install day, not a month later. I’ve been using and teaching this method for years, and it’s become one of the things I’m most known for in the hobby. It’s not guesswork — it’s a specific, repeatable process I’ve refined on hundreds of tanks, and it’s built into every KaveMan Signature installation.
