Common Questions

Services FAQ

How long does a typical installation take?

Most residential aquariums and paludariums take 6–10 weeks from final design approval to installation, including stabilisation. Larger commercial and architectural installations typically run 3–6 months.

Do you work with existing architecture and interiors?

Yes. We regularly design around existing structural, electrical, and plumbing constraints, and coordinate directly with architects, interior designers, and contractors on site.

Is ongoing maintenance required?

Every living ecosystem benefits from scheduled care. We offer flexible maintenance plans, from monthly visits to fully managed service, tailored to the complexity of your installation.

Can you design for commercial spaces?

Absolutely—offices, hospitality venues, showrooms, and clinics are all part of our regular practice, with designs built to withstand higher-traffic environments.
