Our experience with project design, management, installation, sustainable livestock sources and decades of maintenance makes us the logical first choice for custom saltwater aquariums in the San Francisco bay area

We love to share our passion for the unique animals and bio types of recreated natural habitats

I understand how to recreate habitats with the aqua scapes in the aquariums we design and care for through these experiences of scuba diving with fish in different habitats

My Story

Some people fall into their careers. I was born into mine, or maybe I should say I was born into the water.

Born a pisces and into a family with a dad who kept fish and was also an avid scuba diver.

Growing up those two things were just like part of the background of my life.

Tanks glowing in the house, dive stories at the dinner table and the smell of saltwater on scuba gear before it was rinsed in the garage. I didn't choose to be interested, I just was by osmosis absorbing it all.

Like learning a foreign language by absorbing it and growing up around it, without ever sitting down to study it you just understand by being around it and learning as you grow.
