Our story

Aquarists first. Builders second. Never both by halves.

Ecology Aquatics began in a Sydney garage with two marine aquarists who were tired of seeing beautiful tanks fail six months after install. Eighteen years later we're a full studio — designers, fabricators, riggers, licensed plumbers and electricians, and full-time aquarists — delivering aquariums for some of the most demanding homes and venues in the country.

We keep every discipline in-house because a great aquarium is not a glass box. It's structure, water chemistry, lighting, filtration and living animals, all of which have to work together for decades.

What we stand for

Animal welfare first

Quarantined, sustainably sourced livestock and stocking plans that suit the system — never the other way around.

Engineered, not assembled

Load calculations, redundancy on critical life support, and serviceable design from day one.

There for the long run

Most of our clients have been with us for over a decade. Maintenance isn't an add-on, it's the business.

Coverage

Australia-wide, crewed locally.

Design and fabrication happen in our workshop, then our own install crews travel to site. We regularly build in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and regional coastal areas — with local service technicians attached to every completed system.
