Our Services
1. Aquascaping – Where Art Meets Science
We design aquascapes that replicate natural environments, from the flowing rivers of the Amazon to the rocky habitats of Lake Malawi. Our projects range from minimalist cube aquariums to large planted show tanks with advanced CO₂ systems and fertilizers.
We specialize in techniques like:
-
Iwagumi layouts (stone-based scapes following the golden ratio).
-
Dutch aquascapes with lush plant groupings.
-
Biotope aquariums replicate natural habitats for species like Altum Angelfish or Discus.
2. Monster Aquariums
Our expertise includes building monster tanks for large fish species such as Oscars, Arowanas, and exotic Lake Malawi cichlids. These aquariums often use:
-
12–19mm glass with zero-silicone pasting.
-
Sump filtration or high-capacity canisters like Fluval FX6.
-
Custom rock formations with 100+ hiding caves.
For example, we recently completed a 15x2x2.5 ft L-shaped monster aquarium with 400 kg of hole rocks, 250 kg of Neil sand, and a 5ft sump filter.
3. Ponds and Outdoor Installations
From Koi ponds to natural water gardens, we design outdoor aquatics that blend with landscaping. Our pond solutions include:
-
High-volume pond pumps and UV filters.

Custom plumbing and skimmer systems.
