We are an aquarium manufacturer in Chennai, not a shop. Tanks are fabricated in our own workshop to the dimensions of your space, filtration is engineered around your fish load, and the same team designs, builds, installs and maintains the finished system.
Custom aquariums, koi ponds, water features and maintenance, across Chennai and South India since 2001.
One specialist team. Every aquatic need.
Custom aquariums, koi ponds, water features and maintenance, across Chennai and South India since 2001.
Custom Aquariums.
Built to a measurement rather than a catalogue size, in acrylic or glass. Wall-mounted and partition tanks, seamless cylinders, marine and planted setups, and large commercial installations.
Koi Fish Pond
Indoor, outdoor and viewing-window ponds, designed around their filtration so they stay clear. We also repair ponds built by other contractors.
Maintenance & Care
Annual maintenance contracts and scheduled servicing for aquariums and koi ponds, including systems we did not build.
Why Chennai Has Trusted Us Since 2001
• Twenty five years is a long time in a trade where most installations are built once and then abandoned to whoever will service them.
•We manufacture rather than resell. Our workshop in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar is where acrylic is formed and bonded, which means a tank is built to your dimension instead of sourced to the nearest available size. It also means no supplier sits between you and the work when something needs fixing.
• The filtration is designed before the cabinetry. An aquarium is a life support system first. Sizing biological filtration against fish load rather than water volume is the single most common thing done wrong in this market, and it is why so many tanks struggle from the first month.
• One team, whole project. Structural planning, filtration and flow design, water chemistry, plumbing, electrical runs and aquascaping are all handled in house. Most competitors do some of these and buy in the rest.
• We are still here afterwards. The people who come out on a maintenance visit are the people who built the system, which changes how carefully it gets built in the first place.
More Than an Aquarium. A Complete Experience.
An aquarium is light, rhythm, and life - an architectural element that changes the atmosphere of a room.
Design
We understand your space and develop an aquarium concept that complements the surrounding architecture.
Build
Every detail is considered structure, filtration, equipment to create a refined and functional environment.
Install
Professional installation with attention to placement, finish, equipment integration, and presentation.
Aquascape
Natural underwater compositions that bring balance and visual depth to the aquarium.

How We Work
Every project runs in the same order, scaled to its size.
We start with a site survey and measurement, or with your drawings if the site is elsewhere or not yet built. From there we produce a design and a specification covering the tank or pond, the filtration, the cabinetry and the civil work, so you approve a complete system rather than a price with variables left open.
Fabrication happens in our workshop. Installation covers delivery, positioning, plumbing, electrical connection, leak testing and filling. After that the system needs several weeks to establish its biological filtration before it can carry a full fish load, and stocking is staged across that period rather than done on handover day.
Finally we hand over, show you how the system runs, and agree a maintenance arrangement if you want one.
If you are an architect, interior designer or contractor specifying a tank or pond into a scheme, bring us in at drawing stage. We work from drawings including AutoCAD files and return dimensions, load figures and service requirements you can coordinate against.
Who We Build For
Homes, villas and apartments.
The largest share of our work. Living room feature tanks, built-in partition aquariums between hall and dining areas, garden koi ponds and entrance water features.
Hotels and restaurants.
Lobby installations at architectural scale, where the tank is a design element and cannot be offline during business hours.
Clinics and hospitals.
Waiting area aquariums, where quiet running and cleaning that fits around patient flow are requirements rather than preferences.
Showrooms and commercial frontages.
Installations built to be seen from outside and to hold up under long lighting hours.
Corporate offices.
Reception and breakout installations, specified for quiet operation and serviced around working hours.
Areas We Serve
Chennai is our base and where we survey sites directly. We work across the metropolitan area, including the southern and central corridors along OMR and ECR, and the neighbourhoods around Adyar, Velachery, Anna Nagar and T Nagar.
Being local matters for more than travel time. Maintenance visits run as area routes, so clients in denser clusters get more consistent scheduling and faster response when something goes wrong.
Beyond Chennai we take projects across Tamil Nadu and South India. For those the design stage works from drawings, photographs and dimensions, with site visits scheduled for survey and installation rather than for every stage.

Common Questions
Who builds custom aquariums and koi ponds in Chennai?
Living Art Aquarium has designed, built and maintained custom aquariums and koi ponds in Chennai since 2001. We fabricate in our own workshop in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar and handle the full project: structural planning, filtration design, plumbing, electrical, installation and ongoing maintenance.
What is the difference between an aquarium shop and an aquarium manufacturer?
A shop sells fish, equipment and standard tanks in sizes someone else decided, with filtration rated by tank volume. A manufacturer builds to your measurement, sizes filtration against your fish load, and handles the plumbing, electrical and civil work the installation needs. For a standard tank a shop is fine. For anything built into a building, at scale, or meant to still be right in ten years, you want a manufacturer.
How long has Living Art Aquarium been in business?
Twenty five years. The company was founded in Chennai in 2001, and our founder worked in the international ornamental fish trade before that.
Does Living Art Aquarium work outside Chennai?
Yes. Chennai is our base and where we survey sites directly, and we take projects across Tamil Nadu and South India. For projects outside Chennai the design stage works from drawings, photographs and dimensions, with site visits for survey and installation.
Do you maintain aquariums and ponds you did not build?
Yes, and it is a significant part of our work. Maintenance contracts, filtration upgrades and repairs to poorly built ponds are all taken on regardless of who built the original.
Designs, builds and maintains custom aquariums, koi ponds and aquatic features with a focus on thoughtful engineering and long-term care.
