There comes a point when you need to put away your child’s fish bowl and step up your game. When that time comes, give Mat Roy a call – he knows a thing or two about at-home ocean life.
Mat Roy is the owner of St. Augustine’s very own CustomAquarium.com. The name explains exactly what he does. He designs, builds, and even maintains both freshwater and saltwater aquariums of any size. While he came to St. Augustine to work on the St. Augustine Aquarium (he’s building an 80,000 gallon snorkel lagoon), Mat also designs and builds custom aquariums for homes, restaurants, hotels, museums, and sports stadiums.
Mat was with the custom aquarium company Living Color when he worked on the two aquariums behind home plate at Marlins Park in Miami – you’ll find those two iconic aquarium installed just behind home plate. If Mat looks somewhat familiar to you, it’s because you may well have seen him before. Mat appeared on the television show Fish Tank Kings on NatGeo Wild. Starring in 22 episodes over three seasons.
Mat has built or consulted on aquariums from 200 gallons up to 1 million gallons. Each custom-built aquarium is made of crystal clear acrylic and intricate filtration systems. Wary of tackling aquarium cleaning day alone? Don’t be. Cleaning and maintenance is just as important as the original installation, so it’s only natural that Mat’s team should offer their expert services.
After having been in the business for over 20 years, nothing is ever too wild or complicated – he’s up for any challenge.
