Many ways to bring nature inside.
Planted Aquariums
Lush, densely planted freshwater environments combining carpet plants, stem plants, hardscape and carefully balanced light and CO₂.
Nature Aquariums
Serene, minimalist aquascapes inspired by natural landscapes — Iwagumi stone layouts, open space and carefully composed balance.
Bonsai Aquascapes
Intricate aquascapes featuring miniature tree-like structures formed from driftwood and trimmed plants, evoking the art of bonsai beneath the surface.
Every Neró freshwater system is designed around its setting — residential, architectural or commercial.
Residential
Planted aquariums and aquascapes as centrepieces for homes, living areas, entrances and studies.
Architectural
Built-in, room-divider and peninsula aquariums integrated into the architecture of the space.
Commercial
Professionally designed and managed planted displays for offices, hospitality and retail.
A living landscape.
Designed as an ecosystem. Experienced as art.
Light
Purpose-selected aquarium lighting designed around plant requirements, aquarium dimensions and visual presentation.
CO₂
Carbon dioxide injection systems designed to support healthy, vibrant plant growth and stable water chemistry.
Substrate
Specialised planted substrates chosen for nutrient content, root development and long-term plant health.
Plant Nutrition
Carefully balanced nutrient dosing — macro and micronutrients — designed around the aquarium's plant load and growth rate.
Flow
Gentle, purposeful water circulation designed to distribute nutrients and CO₂ without disturbing the aquascape.
Filtration
Mechanical, biological and chemical filtration designed around the aquarium's bioload and planting density.
Hardscape
Stone and driftwood selected and arranged for visual balance, depth, scale and long-term plant placement.
Plant Selection
Thoughtful plant choices based on light, CO₂, substrate, growth habit and the intended aesthetic of the aquascape.
A planted aquarium is not a tank of plants. It is a designed ecosystem.
Beauty, supported by technology.
Modern planted systems can incorporate carefully selected equipment and automation. Every equipment specification is designed around the individual aquarium — not every system requires every component.

- CO₂ injection systems
- Canister & sump filtration
- Inline & lily-pipe flow
- Circulation pumps
- Automatic top-off systems

Designed into the space.
Planted aquariums can become part of the architecture itself. Neró considers aquarium dimensions, sightlines, cabinetry, filtration access, equipment placement and ongoing servicing from the beginning of the design process.
- Freestanding planted aquariums
- Large aquascape feature tanks
- Room-divider aquariums
- Built-in planted aquariums
- Peninsula aquariums
- Reception displays
- Hospitality installations
- Architectural aquatic features
Where projects require structural work, cabinetry, plumbing, electrical work or other specialist construction, Neró can coordinate with appropriately qualified trades and project professionals as required.
