Runescape Aquarium
Basic Information
Once you've achieved level 63 Construction you'll be able to build an Aquarium in your house. The room cost 200,000 gold to build and has several features. It can only be built on the ground floor and has four doors. You can only have one at a time but it can be removed and put up in another part of the house without losing your stuff.
The Aquarium allows you to obtain items like Prawn Balls, Prawn Crackers, Golden Eggs, and a torrent of other items. Let me get some of the more simple stuff out of the way first.

The Prawnbroker
The Prawnbroker will be the most important part in the room other than the Aquarium itself. It has three versions. It doesn't matter which one you have as they all function exactly the same. There is the Driftwood Prawnbroker which costs 5,296 gold to make and a level 63 Construction. It takes 8 Teak Planks and gives 720xp. The Flostam Prawnbroker costs 17,248 gold, grants 1120xp and requires a 73 Con. Level to make. It needs 8 Mahogany Planks. Then there is the Boutique Prawnbroker which costs 18,120 gold, grants 1130xp and requires a level 81 con. to make. It needs 8 Mahogany planks, and a porthole.
The Prawnbroker is where you appoint Prawn points for perks. Prawn points are received when you find a golden egg, and when you collect 1, 20, 100 and 200 prawn balls. Each Perk costs a prawn point and by unlocking 15 perks you get the Completionist cap, by unlocking all 18 you get the Trimmed Completionist Cape. It is very important to get the perks as you get the points as they make the going a little faster.
Prawn Perks
There are 6 Tiers of Prawn perks and you need to complete each tier before having access to the next tier of perks. I recommend doing them in the following order to help get things going.
Tier 1
- Greater Chance of receiving Prawn Balls
-10 Prawn Pennies
-No Bait fishing(doesn't work with Rocktails or Barbarian fishing)
-Gain a landmark of your choice(If you already have all the landmarks you'll get 10 prawn pennies instead)
Tier 2
-Golden Mystery Egg
Tier 3
-Greater Chance of Receiving Prawn Balls
-Prawn Pennies and Prawn Pounds last 2x as long. (Now 50 and 200)
-Fly fishing without feathers
-Gain 3 Diving Suit Cosmetic Overrides for the surface
Tier 4
-Golden Prawn Cracker
Tier 5
-Greater Chance at Recieving Prawn Balls
-Barbarian Fishing without bait(feather or bait)
-Great White Shark Pet and one in your Aquarium
-Ability to fish great white sharks from shark fishing spots.
Tier 6
-Ability to make sushi.
