Founded in 1989 by Jody Karlin after relocating from Long Island, NY, Just Add Water is a family‑owned custom aquarium design company. Over the years we’ve built spectacular systems—especially turtle and fish habitats—and continue to craft unique aquariums and water art for homes and businesses. We use premium materials and acrylic aquariums (the same standard as public aquariums) for exceptional clarity and durability, and we listen closely to our clients to create the exact display they envision.

Our team carefully selects fish that are both beautiful and compatible, prioritizing hardy species and healthy environments so your animals thrive. We also design custom water walls using glass, acrylic, slate, or other non‑porous materials, with the option to etch logos or artwork for a truly personalized feature.

Jody hand‑selects and places each rock backdrop and remains involved in ongoing maintenance to ensure lasting quality. Kimberly Karlin manages the office and websites and finishes much of the cabinetry, using professional stains, paints, and faux finishes.

We’re happy to answer your questions and help you choose the right aquarium, pond, or water art. Call 770‑380‑1020 or email info@jawsaquariums.com
