Bashsea is the brain child of aquatic engineer Steve Bashi owner of Michigan's top custom aquarium design and maintenance group Ultimate Aquariums. Bashi has been creating extreme aquatic systems for commercial and private homes professionally for over sixteen years and has worked with ABC Extreme Home Makeover, Universal Studios, Under the Sea Adventures, Wyland, etc. Constantly modifying off the shelf filter systems to perform up to his standards Bashi decided to just make them himself but for his clientel only. This quickly turned into designing and building them for retail stores and other custom aquarium maintenance companies. In turn, Bashi decided that it was time to create and produce a line of not only high end but most importantly highly efficient and complete life support systems that the true average hobbyist can afford. Thus created the line now known as Bashsea. Every single Bashsea filter is 100% designed, cut, CNC fabricated, drilled, sanded, glued and assembled by hobbyists in the USA using 100% American made high quality acrylic. No smoke and mirrors marketing. No propaganda. No imported filters. No $1,000 skimmers that work 8% better than a $200 skimmer. For once you will actually get more than what you paid for. We all know that no one and nothing is perfect, Bashsea is constantly creating new filter concepts and improving the systems currently being produced. Join the Bashsea cult and be a part of the advancement of the aquarium hobby!
