Concept
Bringing the philosophy and artistry of Takashi Amano's aquascaping vision to Johannesburg, we specialize in creating breathtaking underwater landscapes that harmonize nature and design.
Our Story
Founded in 2023, ADA Lab JHB emerged from a passion for the aquascaping art form pioneered by Takashi Amano. Our founders, inspired by the Nature Aquarium philosophy, sought to bring authentic ADA and DOOA products to South African aquascaping enthusiasts.
We believe that aquascaping is more than just arranging plants and stones—it's about creating living ecosystems that reflect the beauty and balance found in nature. Every aquascape we design tells a story and brings a piece of the natural world into your space.
Located in the heart of Johannesburg, we serve as the premier destination for serious aquascapers seeking the highest quality materials, expert guidance, and innovative design solutions.
