CREATING A LIVING WINDOW TO THE SEA
For Reef Aquaria Design (RAD), an aquarium is more than a decorative feature. It is a living work of art—a captivating world of color, movement, and beauty designed to transform its surroundings.

For founder Jeff Turner, the ocean has always been a way of life. Inspired by his father, Joe Turner, the first president of the Florida Marine Aquarium Society, Jeff began his career in marine aquarium services before pioneering commercial marine aquaculture and establishing several successful aquarium-related businesses. His lifelong passion ultimately led to Reef Aquaria Design.
WHERE ART MEETS ENGINEERING
Every RAD project begins with a vision, seamlessly blending design, engineering, advanced technology, and marine expertise. From vibrant living coral reefs to mesmerizing jellyfish displays, each custom installation is carefully designed as a thriving ecosystem that evolves and matures over time.


Pushing the Boundaries
RAD’s innovative approach has produced remarkable installations, including a 500-gallon custom jellyfish aquarium transported by helicopter to the 53rd floor of a high-rise. The extraordinary feat demonstrated the company’s ability to combine ambitious design with precision engineering.
Beyond luxury residences, RAD creates sophisticated aquatic environments for commercial spaces and prestigious institutions, including work at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History.

A Living Legacy
Today, Reef Aquaria Design continues to create custom aquatic environments for residential, commercial, and public clients. And every project is approached with the same philosophy that has guided Jeff Turner throughout his career: Don’t simply build an aquarium. Build a living window to the sea, because the most extraordinary aquariums aren’t defined by the glass, the equipment, or even their size; they’re defined by all the adventures that happen inside them.
The movement of a fish through living coral. The gentle pulse of a jellyfish. The growth of a reef over years. The way an entire underwater world can transform the space around it.
