Aquariums: Why Rent?

Aquarium rental is something that not many people are aware of, however more and more event companies are providing aquarium rental packages in order to spice up the decor. Imagine how you can turn a dull conference hall into something that looks great. The challenge can be quite a big one, but installing an aquarium for the duration of your event will certainly add a bit of extra wow-factor. There are a few really good companies in the UK that specialise in proving rental packages for both short term and long term hire. Typically, these companies will help you choose the best aquarium for the job, install the aquarium and then maintain it throughout the event.

Choosing The Correct Aquarium

Picking out the best aquarium for the job can be quite difficult. Not only do you need to be thinking about the effect you want to create, you also need to be considering any limiting factors the venue itself may have. The size of tank should obviously be the first item on your list. The rental company will be able to advise you on proportions and sizing from their past experience. You should also be discussing in detail at this stage about what sort of fish you'd like and also the effects of things such as decor and lighting. If you can give this a little bit of creative thought, you should end up with a really amazing aquarium for your event or exhibition.

Installation

Having an aquarium rental company take care of the installation will really help you out big time, especially in circumstances where time is tight. When setting up and stocking an aquarium within a short space of time, specialist knowledge is required in order to make sure that everything goes to plan. Most events are run on extremely tight deadlines and pressure, so leaving this to the experts is well worth the money it may cost. You will need to make sure that you speak with your rental company regarding deadlines and access, to make sure that the installation can be made ready on time.

Maintenance

Throughout your show, it is really wise to make sure that you have someone on call should anything go wrong with your tank. Thankfully, this is usually part of the service. If your event is running over a longer period of time, then you will need someone to come along and do water changes, cleaning and to check that everything is as it should be. The last thing you want when renting an aquarium is dead bodies floating on the surface. Again though, when renting maintenance should be part of the package ( or an optional extra), and therefore something you shouldn't need to worry about yourself.
