Custom aquarium inserts & fabrication

From intimate home display aquariums to vast public exhibit tanks, we design and fabricate complete aquatic environments. Every element — backdrops, inserts, structures, and coral — is tailored to your vessel and vision.

We collaborate closely with architects, interior designers, and curators to produce installations that are as beautiful for the viewer as they are appropriate for the animals they house.

Custom inserts

Custom coral reef inserts built to your tank

When a stock insert won’t fit, we design and fabricate an insert for your exact tank — public aquarium exhibits, commercial displays and residential reef tanks. Send us your tank dimensions (inside and outside), shape and the look you want, and we’ll build it in our Montclair studio.

Aquarium insert FAQ

What is the difference between a Plug & Play insert and a custom insert?

Plug & Play inserts are pre-fabricated designs you can buy online and install right away. Custom inserts are designed and fabricated for your specific tank, species and look.

Can H006 sections be combined?

Yes. The H006 large-format insert system is sold whole or as individual sections and section combinations, so you can configure it to fit your tank.

Are the inserts safe for fish?

Yes — they are made from the same animal-safe, non-leaching, fade-resistant materials we supply to public aquariums and zoos.

Do you install inserts?

Yes. We ship and install worldwide, and also refresh or replace inserts in existing tanks — see repairs & refurbishment.
