A tank plan that fits
Size, placement and stocking planned around the room and the people enjoying it.
Build My Tank · Cape Town
Tell us your space, style and budget. We'll plan, source, build and cycle a healthy aquarium made for your home.
Built around you
A healthy aquarium is more than a glass tank. Filtration, lighting, cycling, plants and fish all need to work together.
Send us a few details on WhatsApp. We'll recommend the best setup that fits your home and budget, explain the trade-offs clearly, and only build what we can do properly.
Everything handled
We make the decisions beginners should never have to guess.
Size, placement and stocking planned around the room and the people enjoying it.

Choose the handover
For smaller tanks
We assemble the setup, treat the water and start the cycle. You collect it with a clear 20-minute walkthrough.
For larger builds
For 60L+, planted tanks or anything on a stand, we set it up in your home and start it in front of you.
How it works
No confusing shopping list. No guessing what works together.
Send your suburb, available space, rough budget and the fish or look you like.
We explain the setup and trade-offs. A 70% deposit secures the equipment.
Everything is sourced, assembled, treated and started as one complete system.
You receive the tank, care plan, food and 90 days of WhatsApp support.
Custom quote
Every build is planned individually. We design the healthiest, best-looking setup your space and budget can support.
If a safe, healthy build is not possible at that budget, we'll tell you before you pay anything.

Sized for the real adult fish load, not just the tank label.
A stable biological start before fish are expected to live in it.
Fish and plants selected to share the same aquarium successfully.
The right food is included, with clear portions and a simple routine.
Water changes, feeding and maintenance written for your exact build.
Message FishHub directly whenever you are unsure about the tank.
Questions
Everything important, without the aquarium-store lecture.
Yes. Every quote is custom. We will recommend the strongest setup within your budget and explain where changing the size or stocking plan will make it healthier.
Yes. We choose hardy, forgiving setups and give the family a simple care routine that is realistic to maintain.
Not immediately. We start the nitrogen cycle properly and guide the stocking schedule so livestock is only added when the system is ready.
Smaller builds are usually collected after setup and a walkthrough. Larger tanks, planted displays and anything on a stand are delivered and installed.
We currently serve Cape Town. Installation is included within roughly 25km of the CBD; ask us about collection or locations farther out.
You receive a care plan, one month of food and 90 days of WhatsApp support. If a fish struggles, message us within 24 hours with a photo so we can help quickly.
