You may think that adding fish into a tank makes a neat aquarium, but aquarium design is so much more exciting than just the fish. Good aquarium design involves a vivid imagination. What aquarium elements will make those who see your water-filled creation say, “wow!” More importantly, what design will bring you joy every time you look through the glass of your very own aquarium?
Aquarium Design And Theme Adds Interest To Your Tank
If you are going through the steps to add an aquarium to your home or business location, you must take some time to decide on a design. You can pick a whimsical cartoon-like theme, a jungle theme or even a Zen garden theme. In theory, the sky’s the limit. You just need to make a plan and pick design elements that will be colorful and compatible with the fish species you select.
Decorating The Aquarium Can Be Fun For All Ages
Take one step into an aquarium shop and prepare to be overwhelmed and amazed at the selection. Whether it be the colorful array of big, small and teeny tiny fish or the actual aquarium decorations that bring your theme to life, it will no doubt be a fun-filled shopping trip. Miniature decorations and statues, colorful pebbles, gravel and sand, ingenious lighting and a variety of ornamental plants and branches can truly add to the ambiance of your ecosystem.

The first house in greater Hauppauge, according to historian Simeon Wood, dates as far back as 1731, being located on what would be the Arbuckle Estate, and later the southeast corner of the Hauppauge Industrial Park, near the intersection of Motor Parkway and Old Willets Path. The settlement of Hauppauge proper commenced with the family of Thomas Wheeler prior to 1753, at the present-day location of the Wave gas station between Townline and Wheeler Road. The locale would take the Wheelers’ name as its own until the 1860s when the name Hauppauge was restored. On March 13, 1806, “a meeting of the male members of the Methodist Society of the ‘Haupogues’ was convened at the School House agreeable to public notice for the express purpose of Incorporating and Electing Trustees for said Society.” The first trustees elected at the meeting presided by Timothy Wheeler and Issac Wheeler were Issac Nichols, Elkanah Wheeler, George Wheeler, and Samuel Brush. They were known as the “Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church and Congregation of the Haupogues”. In 1812 the Hauppauge Methodist Church that stands today was constructed on land donated by the Wheeler family.
Hauppauge gained significance as a waypoint on the King’s Highway, laid out by the colonial legislature of New York in 1702. The present-day right of way departs westward from Route 111 as Conklin’s Road or Half Mile Road, passing St. Thomas More Roman Catholic Church before terminating at the border between Smithtown and Islip. Hauppauge was effectively split between the towns of Smithtown and Islip in 1798 with the survey of New Highway, or what is now known as Townline Road (County Route 76).
