Aqua Lab Aquaria

Aqua Lab Aquaria is an aquarium retailer and service provider based in the heart of Silicon Valley. Conveniently located in downtown Willow Glen, we offer products and services for the discerning saltwater or freshwater aquarist. We specialize in living reefs, nature aquariums, and other modern vivaria styles. We carry the best equipment available and offer our own line of unique products. We are proud to sell only equipment we would use ourselves and we strive to find products that provide the highest value per dollar. We love guiding new aquarists as much as we like brainstorming with seasoned aquarists, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Established in 2013.
Enabled by technology, it has never been easier to keep both freshwater and saltwater ecosystems that are healthy, vibrant, and abundant in biodiversity. Furthermore, there is a recent movement to elevate the aquarium to an object of art and design that is part biological and chemical, part mechanical and electrical, and entirely beautiful. The aquarium system as a whole should be as exquisite as the life it contains within. Spurred on by great European and Asian aquarists like Takashi Amano, the “high-design” aquarium is only starting to reach an American audience. After decades of experience with a variety of aquariums, terrariums, and vivariums, Aqua Lab Aquaria has developed designs, methods, and techniques for creating healthy enclosed ecosystems that are beautiful both inside and out.
