Aquariums

We are specialists in the creation and function of ocean and freshwater environments in the aquarium or in fitting in with other larger water containment structures for private and public viewing. Our passion inspires us to simulate real eco-types of the aquatic life in selection to closely mimic the behaviour of water flows and currents found in nature to give one the illusion as well as function of a specific environment as a diorama of sorts. Often these same water dynamics play an instrumental role in improving water quality, food sources and hunting/foraging enrichment opportunities and enhancing overall potential biology in addition to providing a superior natural setting habitat for the aquatic life.

We offer:

  • Custom design and installation
  • Custom acrylic & glass tanks
  • refurbishment  of existing tanks or large aquaria
  • Custom “In-Wall” tank set-ups
