Our First Tank Aquarium Kits
Setting up an aquarium from scratch can be time consuming, especially if you can't find all the components you need at the same store in one trip! Inspired by a love for fish & simplicity, our aquarium kits were created to bring the joy of aquariums to your home or office. Designed with the child, beginner, hobbyist and busy worker in mind, the kits contain all the necessities for a healthy, low maintenance aquarium that can fit in practically any space.
The Tank
Clear cast acrylic is light-weight, shatter resistant and very durable, making it perfect for a small aquarium. It is also BPA-free, which many other forms of plastic are not. The 8-inch cube is perfect for small spaces while being large enough to keep your fish healthy and happy. Its sleek design makes for a perfect decor piece that is sure to spark conversation. We purchase our acrylic sheets pre-cut from an industry-leading USA-based company and assemble each tank by hand on site, performing a leak test to ensure the seems are water tight before offering them for sale.
The Substrate
Not only does substrate add to the aesthetics of an aquarium, it also helps keep the water clean and healthy for your fish. It provides a place for good bacteria to grow and break down fish waste and serves as natural filtration. Our aquarium kit offers different substrate types, pre-weighed and packaged, to accommodate your preferences and uses. The substrates are natural and not treated with coloring chemicals, making them safer for aquatic life.
The Equipment (And Instructions!)
The kit comes with an air stone and bio sponge filter, air hose, check valve, control valve, air pump, heater, water conditioner, and easy to follow directions. All parts come pre-assembled and ready to use. All you have to do is place the filter and heater where you want them, fill the tank with treated water and plug it in!
​
Note: The kits do not come with a lighting unit at this time. If the tank is kept in a well-lit room, you may not need an aquarium light. However, if the tank is kept in a poorly-lit area, investing in an aquarium light is recommended.
