Product Information
Full details
This modern rectangular aquarium is ideal for hobbyists seeking a minimalist, elegant, and durable habitat for fish and aquatic plants. The primary benefit is its high-quality, 360-degree clear glass construction which creates a stunning focal point in any room; however, users should note that the 80 x 20 x 20 cm dimensions offer a shallow depth, which may limit the types of large aquatic species or tall decor that can be housed safely.

FAQs
Can this aquarium be used for saltwater setups?
Yes, the glass construction is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater, provided the appropriate filtration and heating equipment are installed.
Does the tank come with a lid?
This model is designed as an open-top display tank and does not include a lid.
What is the total water volume?
With dimensions of 80 x 20 x 20 cm, the aquarium has a total capacity of approximately 32 liters.
Is the glass tempered?
The glass is high-quality, durable, and shockproof, though users should avoid high-impact strikes to the glass panels.
Can I put this tank directly on a glass table?
It is strongly recommended to use an aquarium-specific mat between the glass tank and any hard surface to prevent point-loading and potential cracking.
Troubleshooting
Water appears cloudy after setup
This is often a bacterial bloom in new tanks. Ensure proper filtration is running and wait 24-48 hours for the water to clear.
Glass shows visible water spots or residue
Clean the exterior with a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar, ensuring no residue enters the water column.
Tank feels unstable on the surface
Check that the surface is level using a spirit level; if not, use an aquarium mat or shims to ensure the base is fully supported.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before adding water, ensure the aquarium is placed on a completely flat, sturdy, and level surface to avoid undue stress on the seams. When cleaning, avoid harsh chemical detergents or abrasive scrubbers which can scratch the glass; instead, use a soft, lint-free cloth or a dedicated aquarium-safe algae magnet. Always use a water conditioner to remove chlorine before introducing any livestock. If placing the tank outdoors, ensure it is protected from direct, intense sunlight to prevent excessive algae growth and temperature fluctuations. To maintain the glass clarity, perform weekly water changes of 10-15% and monitor water parameters regularly with a test kit.
