Proprietary Technology

OCEANTECH™ — built for the world's most demanding aquariums.

OCEANTECH™ is ADEC's proprietary life support equipment brand — designed by aquarium engineers, for aquarium engineers. Every product is manufactured entirely in-house and trusted across 15+ countries.

OCEANTECH™ Product Line

A complete life support technology stack.

01

Protein Skimmers — MS Series

Includes the world's largest protein skimmer, the MS-1000, designed for mega-aquarium applications. From compact display units to large-scale installations handling millions of litres. Venturi-driven, self-regulating foam production, minimal-maintenance design.

02

Compact Filter Units

Integrated all-in-one life support modules combining mechanical filtration, biological filtration, protein skimming and water return in a single compact housing. Ideal for medium-scale exhibits, lobbies, retail and education. Plug-and-play installation.

03

Drum Filters

Automatic self-cleaning rotary drum filters for high-throughput mechanical filtration. Stainless-steel mesh screens, motorised backwash, low energy consumption. Flow rates from 50 to 5,000 m³/hour.

04

Biofilters — Trickling & MBBR

Two complementary biological filtration technologies for ammonia and nitrite removal. Structured-media trickling biofilters for high-surface-area nitrification; MBBR systems with suspended carriers for variable bioload.

05

UV Disinfection Systems

High-intensity UV systems for pathogen, bacteria and parasite control in recirculating water. Flow-through design, low pressure drop, easy lamp access. From display tanks to main circulation loops in mega-aquariums.

06

Ozone Generators & Destructors

Ozone treatment improves water clarity, colour and pathogen control. Paired generator and destructor units provide safe, controlled dosing with full residual destruction before water re-enters exhibits. CE-certified.

07

Aquarium Tanks

Custom-designed prefabricated tanks in thermoplastic (PP, PVC, HDPE) and acrylic — from quarantine and holding systems to large display vessels. Manufactured in-house with CNC precision cutting and welding.

08

Abyzz & Speck Pumps

Authorised distributor and integration partner for Abyzz variable-speed aquarium pumps and Speck industrial circulation pumps — the leading brands for life-critical aquatic applications. Sized, supplied and commissioned by ADEC.

ADEC skid-mounted life support units

Engineered, manufactured and tested in-house — then commissioned worldwide.

Design & Supply

Designing the full experience.

Aquarium Design Services

A successful aquarium begins long before the first tank is filled. Our process starts with visitor experience — how people move through the facility, what they see, and what they learn.

  • Conceptual narrative development
  • Species selection & habitat planning
  • Visitor flow & exhibit sequencing
  • 3D renders & walkthroughs
  • Material & finish specifications

Aquarium Lighting

Lighting is the invisible dimension of aquarium design — the right spectrum promotes coral growth and fish health, the right control creates visual drama and dynamic day-night simulation.

  • Reef-spectrum LED arrays for corals
  • Programmable circadian rhythm control
  • Colour temperature for freshwater biotopes
  • Fibre optic & accent lighting
  • Energy-efficient drivers with remote monitoring

Live Species Supply

Stocking an aquarium requires as much expertise as building one. We draw on a network of certified suppliers and our own closed-circuit hatchery facility in Milas, Turkey.

  • Species selection & compatibility assessment
  • Certified marine & freshwater sourcing
  • In-house quarantine & health screening
  • Acclimation & introduction protocols
  • CITES & import documentation support
Frequently Asked

Life support systems, explained

A complete LSS combines mechanical filtration (drum filters), biological filtration (trickling and MBBR biofilters), protein skimmers, UV and ozone disinfection, circulation pumps, tanks and water-quality monitoring. ADEC engineers and manufactures all of these as part of its OCEANTECH™ range.

The MS-1000 is part of ADEC's OCEANTECH™ MS-series and is the world's largest protein skimmer, engineered for mega-aquarium applications. The MS range scales from compact display units to large installations handling millions of litres, with venturi-driven, self-regulating, low-maintenance operation.

Yes. OCEANTECH™ life support equipment is designed by aquarium engineers and manufactured entirely in-house using CNC thermoplastic processing and full factory testing before shipment — the same equipment trusted across 15+ countries and operated by ADEC's own teams.

Yes. Beyond life support hardware, ADEC provides aquarium design, reef-spectrum and programmable lighting, and certified live-species supply — including in-house quarantine, health screening, acclimation and CITES import documentation support.
