We design, build, install and maintain planted aquariums, glass gardens and aquascapes all over tamil nadu. Some clients want a planted 2 ft tank on a sideboard. Others want a six-foot display built into a wall with the filtration in the next room. The process is the same either way: the whole system is designed before anyone buys glass.

Glass gardens and planted aquariums

Most aquariums that fail do so because equipment was chosen after the tank was built. A filter sized for the wrong bio-load, a light too weak for the plants specified, no thought given to where the top-up water comes from. Designing filtration, lighting, flow, automation and stocking together is what makes a tank that looks after itself.

  • Site visit and brief. We measure, check floor loading, and assess power and plumbing access.
  • Concept and fixed quote. Rendered layout, equipment specification and stocking plan within seven working days.
  • Fabrication. Tank, cabinetry and sump built in our own workshop, typically three to five weeks.
  • Installation and cycling. Installed, plumbed, wired, cycled, then hardscaped and planted.
  • Staged stocking. Livestock added over two to four weeks so the filter keeps pace with the bio-load.
  • Handover. Written care schedule, a walkthrough, and 24 months of warranty on fabrication and equipment.

Completed projects typically run from about Rs. 85,000 for a 3 ft planted display to Rs. 7,00,000 and up for large reef installations. A Rs. 25,000 booking deposit covers the site visit and design work and is adjusted against the final invoice, or refunded if you decide not to proceed.

Maintenance contracts

An aquarium needs roughly an hour of attention a week. Most people manage that for two months. A maintenance plan puts a trained technician on a schedule instead.

Every visit includes a 25 to 40% water change with dechlorinated, temperature-matched water; substrate vacuuming; filter servicing that preserves the biological media; glass and hardscape cleaning; testing for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate; plant trimming; an equipment check; and a written condition report.

Annual contracts add 26 fortnightly visits, all consumables, filter media replacement, a 24-hour priority callout and 15% off everything in the store.

Professional aquascaping

Good hardscape and good plants do not produce a good scape. Composition does. We will spend a day on your existing tank: strip it down, re-slope the substrate, compose the stone and wood, plant it properly, and come back at four weeks for the first trim.

Installation and cycling for a new tank

If you have bought a tank and want it started correctly, we will set it up, dose live bacteria, guide you through the cycle over WhatsApp, and return to add the first fish only once ammonia and nitrite both read zero.
