Introducing ADA CONTROLLER - ADA's First Control App

ADA CONTROLLER is a dedicated app for controlling Aqua Design Amano smart products.

Control compatible ADA lighting systems and smart products from your smartphone or tablet. The first compatible product, AQUASKY RGB II, allows you to turn lights on/off, set timers, and adjust brightness and light color from the app. You can save your own adjusted light colors as presets and recall them at any time. In addition, soft lighting mode setting enables gradual lighting and extinguishing.

Next-generation smart lighting

The next-generation standard model of ADA lighting fixtures allows users to freely control dimming and lighting time via smartphone. It combines enhanced heat dissipation with a stylish and sophisticated design to nurture healthy aquatic plants and beautifully illuminates the aquascape.

Easy operation from your smartphone with ADA CONTROLLER

AQUASKY RGB Ⅱ 60 uses ADA’s own Bluetooth-connected app, ADA CONTROLLER, to allow for controlling the illumination system from your smartphone. An intuitive and simple control screen allows you to adjust light, color, switching the lights on or off, and timer settings.

01. Refined design
While following in the footsteps of the original product’s beautiful design, we refined it to make it still thinner and lighter, to emphasize the aquarium even further.

02. ADA Original Color
The body’s color is Mineral Gray. A soothing color that blends in with the surrounding equipments in the light.

03. Adapted to a variety of glass thicknesses
The legs rest on the outside of the glass case, so as long as the aquarium has a width of 60cm, it can be used regardless of glass thickness.

04. Soft Lighting function
The newly implemented Soft Lighting function allows for gradually switching the light on and off.

05. 1.7 times brighter than previous model
Compared to prior model, it can produce a maximum of 40,000 Lux in light, approximately 1.7 times brighter than before. Its heat radiation capabilities have increased as well.

    Taiwan at IAPLC 2026: Planted Contours and Changing Routes into Depth

    Dense foliage, planted wood ridges and a low central route create different senses of distance in this four-work selection. The photographs are particularly rewarding when viewed through changes in leaf shape and planting height. They offer a present-season comparison with an archive that once described both graceful composition and more contemporary experimentation.

    Thailand at IAPLC 2026: Surface Colour, Green Arches and Open Rockwork

    Three Thai aquariums in the published Top 300 present contrasting visual priorities. MAGIC LEAVES makes the water surface a signature; another work carries a route beneath planted arches; a third exposes rock peaks against rounded greenery. This small group gives a useful reason to look beyond the first shared award photograph.

    Indonesia at IAPLC 2026: Forest Craft Through Four Different Frames

    The four Indonesian works published at ranks 1–300 offer a compact comparison. A coloured surface canopy, a dominant trunk, a dense grove and a wood-and-rock opening all reward close attention. The small group makes it possible to examine every represented work in this range, while keeping the conclusions specific to this season and cutoff.

    Malaysia at IAPLC 2026: Wood, Plant Texture and the Visual Role of Fish

    A bright gap between broad wood layers, a fine-leaved canopy and a conspicuous individual fish offer three different entrances to this Malaysian selection. The photographs invite attention to the space inhabited by fish as well as the hardscape around it. They also show why a creator’s reputation and a new aquarium’s visual decisions should be discussed separately.
  • Analyse Brazil aquascapes at IAPLC 2026, then explore the country’s results, contributing creators and competition history on AquaRank Nations.

    Brazil at IAPLC 2026: Rock Landscapes and Wood Beyond the Familiar Label

    Enchanted Hills offers an immediately recognisable rock valley, with coloured planting and fish in bright water. Three other selected Brazilian photographs build their scenes around substantial wood. Seeing them together is a useful way to revisit a familiar label without asking individual creators to fit a single national recipe.
  • Analyse Japan aquascapes at IAPLC 2026, then explore the country’s results, contributing creators and competition history on AquaRank Nations.

    Japan at IAPLC 2026: Nature Aquarium and Many Contemporary Visions

    A pale path through hanging roots and a bright interval between exposed rocks can both make an aquarium feel spacious. Japan’s 2026 selection is rewarding because it places these different approaches beside richly planted foregrounds and coloured slopes. Six photographs offer a practical way to discuss variety within a familiar Nature Aquarium heritage.
  • Analyse China aquascapes at IAPLC 2026, then explore the country’s results, contributing creators and competition history on AquaRank Nations.

    China at IAPLC 2026: How Layered Wood Creates Convincing Depth

    The Grand Prize photograph gives this study an obvious first stop, but the comparison becomes richer when it reaches beyond the winner. Six selected aquariums show different ways of framing light with wood: unequal trunks, fine leaf curtains, successive arches and repeated vertical roots. Their interest lies in how each arrangement keeps a densely constructed scene readable.
  • Vietnam at IAPLC 2026: Wood, Stone and a Broader Design Identity

    Vietnam’s two leading 2026 awards both invite us into wooded environments. That is an interesting starting point for revisiting an archive which once associated the country strongly with stone. The most useful reading is not that one material has defeated the other. Six selected photographs show several ways of organising planted ground, open water and the route into a scene.

    Chuanwei Yu’s 万物自然, the IAPLC 2026 Grand Prize aquascape, is immediately recognisable as a woodland scene. Its lasting interest lies in how that scene holds together. Large trunks establish the setting, finer roots connect its layers, planting softens the structure and fish make the spaces between the wood feel inhabited.

Trần Anh Đức’s “Tectonic Memory” builds its world through folded rock contours. Acho Choky’s “Under The Cave” places the viewer beneath a dark canopy. Zhao Gang’s “幽邃” draws us through a planted valley animated by blue fish.
