Thiel Aqua Tech Custom and Special Services
Thiel Aqua Tech not only manufactures products for water quality maintenance and filtration, additives for bettering the water quality and providing the animals in the aquarium with the nutrients and chemicals they require, but also publishes books, a newsletter and provides the following other services:
- Consulting services on both freshwater and saltwater aquarium and pond installations, contructions and design. Albert Thiel has been involved in the filtration design of many large aquariums and a pond of close to 150 000 gallons. References are available upon request when a contract is initiated. A. Thiel has also been involved in the contruction and installations of aquariums as large as 4000 gallons in CT and 15000 gallons in VT.
- Design of system technology for aquariums and ponds at a flat fee. Fees range from $2,000.00 to 10,000.00 depending on the size of the project
- Aquarium automation packages using computers and special control boards and electrodes to monitor aquarium conditions and automatically correct them via computer software controlled operation of outside filtration and other devices. Because these designs can be rather complex depending on the nature of the project, the size of the aquarium, whether it is fresh or saltwater, whether full or partial automation is required, these services are priced per project. The basic package comprised of the computer and user programmable software, the control boards and electrodes but no outside devices (#1) starts at 3,500.00. Package #2 which provides outside devices to control pH, ORP, CO2 injection, and dosing of Kalkwasser and Additives is priced at $5,000.00. Package #3 which carries the automation further and includes special dosers for different elements, all dispensed individually starts at 6,500.00. Special packages can be built to suit any need and the software can be written to include video controls, databasing of aquarium conditons, storage of aquarium video images and so on. Such projects are priced based on the requirements specified and agreed upon.
- Electronic publishing of articles and books (see the various areas of our web site that are presently available and contain summaries of what can be purchased).
- Filtration design for special aquariums that need to be built to withstand more than average conditions (e.g. in restaurants, on boats, in areas where damage may easily occur and so on). Such projects are priced based on needs and requirements.
- Writing of maintenance manuals for specific aquariums based on load, filtration and animal requirements.
- We also manufacture bulk products for filtration and other purposes for repackaging by other companies under their own brand name.
- We custom design water pretreatment systems. Pricing is based on complexity and water quality of the water that needs to be treated and the purity that needs to be achieved.
