Dennerle is a huge company and one of the earliest pioneers of the true planted aquascape.

Ludwig Dennerle, the founder, can trace his aquatic history back to the mid-1960s when he established his first pet store. It wasn’t long before various aquatic plants were travelling home with him, destined for some amateur botany in Ludwig’s greenhouse.

Within a decade his company was constructing greenhouses dedicated to aquarium flora and importing hitherto unseen plants from the tropics.

Dennerle created a huge chunk of what we now accept as the aquatics trade and without such early influence it’s likely the aquarium plant market would be very different to the one we have now.

SUSTAINABILITY AS A COMPANY PHILOSOPHY

Dennerle offers products for the aquarist that can do more than merely fight symptoms. We likewise ensure that even at the production stage, natural resources are used sparingly. But it should also be possible to use the products themselves in an environmentally sustainable way – for example by having an above-average lifespan (e.g. Trocal) or by using concentrates to reduce packaging waste (e.g. water care). We design functioning, coordinated products which are oriented towards maintaining the natural cycle and are harmless to the environment, people and animals. In doing so we make it possible to experience a bit of nature at home in a sustainable way.

Experience nature

The „aquarium“ ecosystem – complex but not complicated. Every aquarium is a biological system, the individual factors of which are inextricably linked. According to the Dennerle philosophy, the foundation of an aquarium is healthy plant growth, because the plants constantly remove harmful substances from the water and simultaneously produce the oxygen that the fish need to survive. Since 1966, Dennerle has taken a holistic view of the aquarium ecosystem in order to easily replicate the biological cycles as a functioning system equivalent to natural processes. Our coordinated products form a system with which underwater landscapes are easy and safe to care for.
