Illustrative pricing
These example prices make the design studio useful. They are fictional USD allowances, not quotations, offers or a promise of a completed installation at a fixed price.
Three starting points
wall inspiration
$18,000 base example
A planted freshwater view, set on a walnut cabinet so the room and the aquarium feel designed together.
Planted freshwater, chalk finish, 71 in display. The timber and marine options add allowances.
divider inspiration
$28,000 base example
An aquarium seen from both sides, bringing light and movement between two parts of a home.
Planted freshwater, chalk finish, 94 in display. The timber and marine options add allowances.
cabinet inspiration
$12,000 base example
A beautifully proportioned aquarium and furniture piece, designed to belong without remaking the entire room.
Planted freshwater, chalk finish, 47 in display. The timber and marine options add allowances.
What changes the estimate
Length is only one part of the specification. The ecosystem, supporting joinery, access, equipment and installation conditions influence both the initial project and its ongoing care.
The demonstration adds $6,500 for a marine equipment allowance. Freshwater and marine systems are designed differently. This is a comparison tool, not a universal upgrade price.
Chalk is the base finish. Graphite, walnut and pale oak carry illustrative allowances. Changing the tank length in the studio also updates the estimate.
Structural assessment or changes, building work, electrical and plumbing work, unusual access, permits, taxes and travel are not priced by this demo.
Livestock selection, specialist consumables and ongoing maintenance need a specific plan. Example care pricing is shown separately from the project estimate.

The studio helps you compare ideas and save preferences. A real provider would verify the site, agree the scope and give you a written quotation before any order or payment.
