Fish Glass Aquarium Tank
22000 IQD
Details
This Fish Glass Aquarium Tank (50x31x35cm) is a mid-sized rectangular tank that offers a substantial upgrade in volume from smaller desktop models. Designed for both clarity and durability, this approximately 54-liter (approx. 14-gallon) aquarium serves as an excellent foundation for a diverse community tank or a detailed aquascaping project.
Technical Specifications & Build
Dimensions: $50\text{cm (Length)} \times 31\text{cm (Width)} \times 35\text{cm (Height)}$.
Capacity: Roughly 54.2 Liters (approx. 14.3 US Gallons). Note that actual water volume is typically 10% less once substrate and decor are added.
Material: Constructed from high-quality float glass, known for its strength and long-term resistance to yellowing or clouding.
Safety Features:
Corner Protection: Typically includes eight high-impact red plastic corner guards. These provide shock absorption against vibrations and protect the glass from accidental chips during maintenance.
Diamond-Polished Edges: The glass edges are precision-cut and polished to be smooth and rounded, reducing the risk of cuts for users and pets.
Sealing: Panels are joined with professional-grade silicone (available in transparent or black), ensuring a watertight seal and structural integrity.
Key Benefits
1. Superior Clarity
Unlike acrylic tanks, this glass aquarium is highly resistant to scratches from cleaning tools or decorative rocks. The high light transmission of float glass ensures that the natural colors of your fish and plants are vividly displayed.
2. Versatile Aquascaping Potential
The 31cm depth and 35cm height provide a generous "3D" workspace for aquascaping. This size allows for:
Verticality: Space for taller background plants or driftwood branches.
Depth Perception: Room to create a sloping substrate that gives the illusion of a deeper underwater environment.
3. Increased Biological Stability
A 50L+ tank is more forgiving than smaller nano-tanks. The larger water volume helps dilute toxins and maintain a more stable water temperature, making it a safer environment for your aquatic life.
Recommended Inhabitants
Based on the "1cm of fish per liter" rule of thumb, this tank can comfortably house approximately 50–54cm of total fish length:
Community Fish: A group of 8–12 Neon Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, or Zebra Danios.
Bottom Dwellers: 4–6 Panda Corydoras or a small colony of Amano Shrimp to help manage algae.
Small Centerpiece: A pair of Honey Gouramis or a single Betta.
Placement & Support
Weight: When filled with water and substrate, this tank will weigh approximately 60–65kg. It must be placed on a dedicated aquarium stand or a sturdy, level piece of furniture.
