ATS Aquashop

Andreas Tanke – entrepreneur, aquarist, photographer, …

Since earliest youth contacts to aquaristics. First own aquarium at the age of 10. In the 1990s break. 2002 Return to aquaristics.
Main focus: Dwarf cichlids and loricariids in South America

In addition to keeping and breeding South American fish, I am also interested in their origin, so that I have already been able to take several trips to South America. In addition, I have been active as an author and speaker for many years and thus pass on my acquired knowledge.

My company (ATS-EDV-Service) offered to combine the pleasant with the useful. Since I had many good fish pictures anyway, it was obvious to make them accessible to other people and to work together with photographers friends.

Aquatic art prints

Art prints on brushed aluminium

Strictly speaking our aluminum plates are aluminum dibond plates, that means it is a black plastic plate which is covered on both sides with an aluminum layer. This was then brushed on one side dull, to reach a very noble finish.
Then we print our pictures directly onto this brushed aluminum layer. The clou is that no white is printed here, i.e. all the white parts of the pictures remain transparent, so the metal from the background shimmers through. Especially pictures with quite high black and white contrasts are very impressive.

Art prints on acrylic glass

Plexiglas is actually nothing more than a brand name for acrylic glass. We also know something similar from paper tissues (i.e.Tempo).
In principle, it is a transparent plastic that is quite resistant. The fact that it is lighter and less fragile than real glass results in numerous applications.
We now print this acrylic completely with the chosen motifs and then white sealed so that it is opaque. These plates are great for photo printing. Since they are translucent, you can even use them for lamp construction. To make them even more durable, like our acrylic glass plates in the dimensions 30 * 20 cm and 40 * 30 cm, we coat them with real glass. As a result, they can also be used e.g. in the kitchen or outside use.
