Unique Aquariums

Watching fish swim around an aquarium and listening to the water cascade out of the filter is peaceful and an ideal way to relax. Small aquariums are nice, but the rule "bigger is better" does apply to fish tanks. The larger your tank, the more fish it can hold along with water plants and other aquatic creatures.

When you purchase a larger aquarium space may be an issue. The market has stepped up and provided consumers with unique aquarium solutions. Some are practical and esthetically appealing while others may not be for everyone.

This living room center piece is made from one piece of molded acrylic and comes with the glass top. The tank can hold 25 gallons and the included power-head pump, complete under-gravel filter plate, decorative greenery, dome lighting, fish food, water conditioner are all hidden from view.

In a 25 gallon tank you can have approximately 25 inches of fish. If you buy one inch fish, you can have 25 of them in the aquarium. If the fish you own are larger try to stay within the 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon of tank rule. This is so the fish have enough "breathing" space and the filter-system isn't overly taxed.

The Coffee Table Aquarium is available from The Tropical Fish Store and retails for $488 USD. The dimensions of the table are 40" x 40" x 17"H (with glass top).
