I’m Quan, aka Qball. I turned a 30‑year aquarist hobby into custom builds for clients and create behind‑the‑glass stories for other hobbyist aquascapers.

/ Qball custom aquariums
N. 02

We build freshwater aquariums for people who hate boring tanks.

We craft the concept, construct the system, then keep it balanced with borderline obsessive, behind‑the‑scenes care. ‍

Our living aquariums designed to create a pocket of escape within your space.

We treat each freshwater aquarium like a small piece of living architecture: composition, planting and biology resolved together from the start, not added on at the end.

When it all clicks, the tank feels like its own small world in balance, holding your attention while the rest of the space moves around it.

/FAQ
N. 07
I've never kept fish. Can you actually help a total beginner?
That's most of who we work with. We match a tank, equipment and fish to your home, budget and confidence level, then set it all up. No jargon, no judgement.
Can you build a custom aquarium for my home?
Yes. Freshwater, planted, reef or something unexpected. Tell us the room and the vision and we design and build to fit both.
Will I have to maintain it myself?
Only if you want to. We offer home maintenance plans covering water testing, cleaning and fish health, so your tank stays brilliant without becoming a chore.
What if something goes wrong with my tank?
Message us. We do troubleshooting, water testing and one off visits, so you're not stuck Googling at midnight when the water turns cloudy.
Do you supply the fish and plants too?
We can supply both, and only healthy, ethically sourced livestock. We'll also tell you honestly which fish suit your tank and which to skip.
