Aquarium Builder

Build a tank layer by layer in 3D — substrate, hardscape, plants, equipment, fish — and get the volume, substrate weight and stocking maths as you go.

Aquarium Builder needs WebGL

This simulator renders in 3D. The static diagram behind this message shows the same concept, and the parameter panel still works.

How to use it

Set the tank dimensions and watch the volume and equipment suggestions update.
Add a substrate layer and choose its type and depth — the substrate weight follows.
Place hardscape. Pieces snap to a sensible position and can be dragged to refine composition.
Plant the tank. Species suggestions respect the light and CO₂ level you selected.
Stock it. The stocking panel warns when the bioload exceeds the filter capacity.
Export a PNG of the layout and a CSV of the component list.

Note. This is an educational model, not a prediction. Simulated results are indicative only — real aquariums involve live animals, and you should follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions and the welfare limits stated throughout this site. CO₂ above 30 ppm harms fish and shrimp.
