To be able to create stunning underwater eco-systems one needs to understand Nature. This understanding will only come if one is able to learn, to put his thoughts, his ideas and beliefs aside for a brief moment and look at the natural processes with an open mind.
Takashi Amano: One who cannot love her smallest creations, cannot claim to stand before Nature.
People have been keeping fish for centuries. There have been many great ideas and concepts around that formed the aquarium hobby for many years. Take Dutch-style aquariums for example… Then there was a japanese man, Mr. Amano who realized that technology and science is finally enabling us to go back to the roots. To use our knowledge to return to the very basic idea: a natural aquarium. A Nature Aquarium.

- Absolutely no algae
- Vibrating effect due to the relatively strong lighting
- A complete harmony of rocks, wood, plants and fish
- Advanced and carefully planned scape composition
- Unobstructed view: crystal-clean water
- Unobstructed view: super-transparent, opti-white glass
- A natural Eco-System supported by high-tech gear
- Careful fish selection – usually one or two shoaling fish-types
- Minimized margin for error due to tech oversizing
- Emphasis on communication with clients
Why is this approach so appealing?
The Nature Aquarium Concept is probably the most intriguing and most beautiful type of all fishkeeping approaches. It enables us to bring nature closer to our urban spaces. Most of us live in an industrial world that brings us further and further away from our roots, from the natural environment that surrounded our ancestors for centuries.
The ultimate visual appeal these stunning Nature Aquariums deliver to the modern man is certainly helping us to remember that we are part of a beautiful, brilliant and vibrating natural world. We now know as a fact that this appeal is so strong that is in fact almost irresistible. The strength of it can not be compared with any visual experience a conventional fishtank would deliver.
