Company Origins

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Alexandre Burkhart, a passionate reef aquarist since 2001 and originally an architect by trade.

In 2021, after 20 years of building aquariums, accessories, and custom equipment to care for my little piece of reef, I decided to create Turtle System to share this expertise with fellow enthusiasts.

Areas of Expertise

Realizing the lack of quality options in Europe, the company initially specialized in custom filtration systems.

My goal is to offer you high-quality, effective, durable products that are perfectly tailored to your needs.

Thanks to my architectural background, I can provide exclusive design services using cutting-edge technology.

To meet every enthusiast’s needs, Turtle System now offers a full range of standardized and semi-standardized products available online—from fully equipped aquariums to accessories and maintenance solutions, and of course, the filtration systems that built our reputation.

Tradition Meets High Tech

In designing our products, we combine the best of tradition and innovation.

While we keep up with the latest marine ecosystem maintenance practices, we also draw on forgotten ideas dismissed for the wrong reasons by major industry players, offering a unique approach. This philosophy also extends to our manufacturing techniques.

In our workshop, traditional handcrafting meets the most advanced tools: 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser cutting.

Service Area

Products available on our website are shipped via parcel or specialized carrier within France, overseas territories, and the entire European Union.

For larger custom installations that require on-site setup, Turtle System operates in a region spanning from the Paris area and Alsace in the north to Rhône-Alpes in the south.
