Check out these new quarantine systems we built then shipped to our friends at Seattle Aquarium earlier this year! - Proper quarantine and conditioning of animals behind the scenes gets them prepared for their new homes in display aquariums. This work takes a fine eye and lots of knowledge to perform correctly, but it is paramount to the long term wellbeing of our finned friends. - Be sure to check out the new Ocean Pavilion which is now open at the Seattle Aquarium! - #aquarium #fishtank #reeftank #TenjiInc #LSS #SeattleAquarium

Aquarium builders & artists with an eye for the practical details of aquatic engineering. Celebrating 20 Creative Years!
About us
The Tenji team began our careers as curators, biologists, and exhibit designers in one of the great aquariums of the world – Monterey Bay Aquarium. Our scientific training may have taught us the biology, chemistry, and physics behind aquatic design and engineering, but only the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for rich, diverse animal life could inspire the innovations in custom built aquariums we are known for around the world. We are premier aquarium builders with an eye for the practical details of aquatic engineering: easy cleaning and operation, reliable and sustainable life support systems (LSS), and healthy, happy ecosystems. And yet we are, above all, artists. Whether showcasing old favorites or pushing the boundaries to display new species, the Tenji team sees tremendous possibilities in every tank. We know how overwhelming public aquarium design and construction can be and we make it simple for our clients. In Japanese, “tenji” is the detailed process of creating clarity from complexity and we have dedicated ourselves to mastering it. Our in-house aquarium design team provides the full range of aquarium services, providing personalized aquatic design, aquarium installation, and aquarium maintenance for public aquariums, zoos, museums, research facilities, universities, public spaces, and private residences. We developed our proprietary Rapid Design Process (RDP) to help clients clarify their needs and share their vision, fast. In less than a week, Tenji designers and CAD drafters can create detailed aquarium architectural design drawings that can convince a Board of Directors, inspire donations, and make a dream a reality. If you want a custom aquarium that works well and inspires wonder, you need more than a fish tank designer. Call 831.401.9951 to see the Tenji Advantage for yourself.

Did you ever wonder where whales go when they die? - The whale carcasses sink, or fall, to the ocean floor, typically at a depth greater than 1,000 m. On the seafloor, these carcasses can create complex localized ecosystems that supply sustenance to deep-sea organisms for decades! - Here's an insert of a pilot whale skeleton we're working on with Cemrock Landscapes, Inc. for a new whale fall exhibit 🐳 - #aquarium #fishtank #reeftank #TenjiInc #whales

How did we do? 😀 - Tenji Aquarium Design + Build's phenomenal in-house design team can produce conceptual drawings for clients as we work through the initial planning stages. This ensures that we deliver our clients' vision from start to finish. - Here's a concept drawing and technical drawing for a recent project at Cabrillo High School Aquarium, along with the finished product. - Please excuse the cloudy water, the tank had just been filled for the first time after adding sand! - #aquarium #fishtank #reeftank #TenjiInc #sharks #stingray

Did you know that aquarium lighting is extremely important to the health of many aquatic animals? - While some animals require specific lighting intensities to properly photosynthesize, others are even picky about the specific wavelengths of light! - We love working with our friends at Kessil Lighting for some of our commercial projects. Check out this awesome video Kessil took of our installation at Discovery Cube, Southern California Orange County! - #aquarium #fishtank #reeftank #TenjiInc #zoo #rarefish #sharks #stingray https://lnkd.in/eGz9f-ye

Our new 1,400-gallon Wetlands Touch Tank at the Cabrillo High School Aquarium is a crowd pleaser! This system houses several species of sharks, rays, and other fishes. - The Tenji team worked hand-in-hand with the school's aquarium staff to bring this idea to life. We replaced several aging systems with this brilliant new display which brings another new touch tank exhibit to the school. - We remain in awe of the fantastic program this school offers their students. If you're in the area be sure to look up when their next open house is scheduled, they are not to be missed! - More info here: https://lnkd.in/e2Pf5zBW - Photo Credit: Len Wood, Contributor to Lompoc Record

Our finned friends face a hectic and stressful time between the point they're collected to the point they land in our aquariums. Collection for the aquarium is only the beginning of a daunting journey. - This is why quarantining and conditioning new animals to captive environments is paramount to ensuring you do not spread ailments in your aquarium. During their trip from collection to our tanks, animals are quickly shipped across the globe with little to no food. - Over the years we have trusted our friends at Marine Collectors to perform this heavy lifting for us, ensuring that when our local clients order animals, they come out of the box ailment free ready to eat prepared foods! - Many fish have the potential to live for decades in captivity provided the right care, but it starts with sourcing the best fish possible. No one should have to purchase a fish several times to get one to live. Do yourself a favor. Do the fish a favor. Respect the fish. - #aquarium #fishtank #reeftank #TenjiInc #marinecollectors #zoo #rarefish

Over the past several months the Tenji Aquarium Design + Build team has been renovating several back of house life support systems at the amazing Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. - Here's a look at their Aquarium Holding Room showing our expert fabricators completed work. The retrofitted work includes new equipment to update systems, along with new plumbing runs making them more efficient and easier to maintain long term. - Our team utilizes the highest quality Asahi/America Inc. valves and SCH80 plumbing for all of our systems, creating robust systems that stand the test of time and afford future flexibility. - #steinhartaquarium #californiaacademyofsciences #TenjiInc #aquarium #zoo #lifesupportsystems

Tenji was hired by the Seattle Aquarium to design and fabricate 8 different quarantine and holding systems for their new Ocean Pavilion expansion. All of these systems were built and water tested in our California fabrication shop, then carefully packed and shipped to the aquariums' onsite staff. - We don't only build and install systems onsite in the field, we can also drop-ship complete custom aquarium systems like this! - As this new wonderful facility ramps up for opening, our holding systems are being incorporated into their daily operations. Stay tuned for more images of these systems in their final locations.
