About Aquarium Professionals Group: 
  
  In Business Since 1996 
  
 
Aquarium Professionals Group is one of the largest aquarium contracting firms in the United States. Aquarium Professionals Group provides high quality aquatic system design, engineering and management services. Specializing in large aquariums and aquatic displays, we design, install and manage commercial, residential and public marine and freshwater aquatic displays throughout the United States and Canada. 
 
Aquarium Professionals Group
opened for business in early 1996
                  with a tiny office space and an equally tiny warehouse and
                  fish room. We had twenty-five years experience as professional
                  aquarists, a total staff of two (including the owner), a handful of clients,
                  and a dream. 
 
We wanted to create an aquarium business specializing in large custom
                  aquarium design and aquarium maintenance. However, we didn't
                  want to be burdened by the operation of a walk-in retail
                  store. This would allow us to provide a very high level of
                  service to folks who wanted expert custom aquariums and
                  excellent aquarium maintenance services. IT
                  WORKED!  Many years later, we're
                  still going strong!  We install large museum-grade
                  aquariums throughout North America, maintain a large staff, a management team, a
                  5000 square-foot facility and have hundreds of local
                  maintenance accounts and satisfied clients.

The
                  Aquarium Professionals Group
                  also installs aquariums for hobbyists who want to maintain the
                  aquarium themselves but want to make sure the initial
                  installation is done correctly, using the latest
                  state-of-the-art equipment. We then provide personalized
                  written and on-site instruction, based on the latest
                  information available, ensuring the hobbyist success with
                  their new aquarium (some conditions apply).
 
  Leaders in Our Field 
  
 
Until
                  we came along,
                  options available to aquarium owners in the Chicago
                  metropolitan area for high-quality aquarium design,
                  installation and maintenance services were limited to either
                  small one-or-two person companies or side-line operations
                  through aquarium retail stores. Unfortunately for the
                  industry, many of these businesses have limited resources to
                  devote to this type of specialized work. 
 
The
                  aquarium
                  maintenance industry has gotten a bad name over the years.
                  Most aquarium maintenance companies consist of one or two
                  individuals, usually with a few years of hobby experience, who
                  are working out of their homes.  Try as they might, there
                  is no way that one person can quickly respond to an aquarium
                  emergency while maintaining a regular service schedule. 
                  We hear horror stories all the time of these smaller companies
                  taking more a week to respond to a client's aquarium
                  problem.  The end result is usually the same - a tank
                  wipe-out. 
 
There
                  are also plenty of
                  aquarium stores that provide aquarium maintenance services on
                  the side.
                  Aquarium retail is far more profitable than aquarium
                  maintenance. It's hard to justify the expense of using a very
                  knowledgeable fish person "in-the-field" when that
                  same person can generate more income in the retail store. The
                  result is that many aquarium stores use some of their
                  less-knowledgeable employees to provide outside maintenance. 
                  Because we don't operate a retail store, our expert
                  technicians are always available to provide excellent
                  maintenance service.
