Room Divider Aquarium

A Statement Aquarium Designed to Divide the Space

This huge 3 metre aquarium acts not only as a focal point of the room but also as a divider in a lounge space in South London. Built perfectly in between two structural pillars the idea was to maximise the space of the aquarium without removing the open plan feel of the space. The main concept behind this design was to keep the decoration minimal and to have as much open water as possible. We added a few small rock sculptures offering hiding spaces for the fish, without removing visibility between both sides of the room. We decided to add Malawi Cichlids as they are extremely colourful, interactive and they will utilise the huge volume of water. All of the filtration is housed directly underneath the aquarium and our technicians simply remove the panelled cladding to carry out the weekly service.

Design

Designed around the architecture of the room, this impressive three-metre aquarium sits precisely between two structural pillars, creating a natural divide without compromising the open-plan feel of the space. The aquascape was intentionally kept minimal, using carefully positioned rock formations to provide shelter while maintaining long, uninterrupted views through the aquarium. The generous open-water design gives the colourful Malawi Cichlids plenty of space to swim, while concealed filtration beneath the tank keeps the finished installation clean and uncluttered.

Install

The aquarium was carefully installed between two existing structural pillars, making full use of the available space while maintaining clear views through the room. A bespoke support structure was built to accommodate the three-metre tank, with all filtration and technical equipment positioned directly underneath. Once complete, the framework was finished with removable panelled cladding, neatly integrating the aquarium into the surrounding interior while retaining easy access for servicing.

Maintenance

The aquarium is serviced weekly by our technicians, with all filtration and equipment accessed discreetly through the removable panels beneath the tank. Regular maintenance includes water testing, cleaning, filtration checks and livestock care, keeping the water clear and the Malawi Cichlids healthy while preserving the clean, minimal appearance of the installation.
