Start with the South Florida options
Reef Aquaria Design lists a Fort Lauderdale address and describes a service sequence from concept and fabrication through commissioning and maintenance. SeaVisions lists a South Florida address and offers remote monitoring and curator services. Compare those service scopes against the work and care you need.
Aquarium Design International explicitly names Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in its recurring maintenance offer and describes worldwide installation. Ask each firm to confirm the project address, visit schedule, and emergency arrangements.
Check coverage before widening the shortlist
A South Florida base does not establish routine service across the whole state. For a site elsewhere in Florida, ask who will install the system, who can visit after handover, and which travel costs apply.
Tenji is a wider-search option for an exhibit or renovation; its published offices are in California and Maine. BR Design Group’s retained source information does not establish a Florida service base. Confirm its territory and care arrangement before including it in a local comparison.
