Our Design and Installation Process

1. Consultation and Site Assessment

We start by understanding your space, preferences, and goals. Whether you want a calming Nature-style aquascape for your living room or a bold centrepiece for your office reception, we tailor every recommendation to you. We assess structural considerations, lighting conditions, electrical access, and water supply — details that matter for a long-lasting installation.

2. Concept Design and Equipment Selection

Based on your brief, we develop a concept that covers tank dimensions, cabinet design, filtration, lighting, CO2 systems, and substrate. We source high-quality equipment from trusted brands and can accommodate custom-built tanks of virtually any size and shape.

3. Aquascaping and Planting

This is where the magic happens. Our team hand-selects premium hardscape materials — driftwood, dragon stone, seiryu stone — and pairs them with carefully chosen aquatic plants. We design layouts in proven aquascaping styles or create entirely bespoke compositions.

4. Livestock Selection and Introduction

Once the tank has cycled and the environment is stable, we introduce fish and invertebrates suited to your setup. We advise on compatible species, stocking levels, and feeding routines to keep your aquarium healthy and vibrant.

5. Handover and Aftercare

We walk you through daily care, demonstrate equipment operation, and provide a written care guide. For clients who prefer a hands-off approach, our aquarium maintenance packages ensure your tank stays pristine without you lifting a finger.

Aquascaping Styles We Specialise In

Nature Aquascapes

Inspired by natural landscapes, Nature-style aquascapes recreate forests, mountains, and riverbanks underwater. This style, popularised by the legendary Takashi Amano, uses driftwood, stones, and lush planting to produce serene, living art. It is our most popular style for residential clients in Singapore.

Iwagumi

A minimalist Japanese-influenced style built around carefully placed stones and a carpet of low-growing plants. Iwagumi aquascapes are striking in their simplicity and suit modern, clean interiors.

Dutch Style

Vibrant, densely planted, and bursting with colour, the Dutch style showcases a wide variety of aquatic plants arranged in orderly rows and groups. It demands precision and plant knowledge — both of which our team has in abundance.

Hardscape-Dominant and Biotope Designs

We also design hardscape-focused layouts for clients who prefer lower maintenance, as well as biotope aquariums that replicate specific natural habitats from Southeast Asia, South America, or Africa.

Residential and Commercial Installations

Our custom aquarium service caters to both homeowners and businesses across Singapore. Residential projects range from compact nano tanks to full wall-mounted or room-divider aquariums. For commercial clients — including offices, clinics, hotels, and restaurants — we design installations that impress visitors, reinforce branding, and create a calming atmosphere.

Design and installation packages start from competitive rates depending on tank size, style complexity, and equipment specifications. We provide a detailed written quotation after every consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
