Tiny aquatic gardens are all the rage; perfect for the aquarist with limited space, or for those who simply enjoy the aesthetic of a scale-model planted layout, with all the benefits and challenges that come with it.
Most people get started in the hobby with the typical 30 or 72 litre tank because these sizes are widely available as inexpensive starter kits. Those who get hooked on the hobby quickly find that this not enough, and the desire for a bigger tank sets in. For some a 112 litre tank may be enough, while others lust after a 240 or even 375 litre tank.
Big tanks can be a lot of fun, and larger systems are often more stable than small ones, but big tanks are also a lot of work and are more expensive to set up, stock, and maintain. Whatever the reason, in recent years, nano tanks have become a popular alternative to explore the hobby in greater depth, particularly for those of us interested in aquatic gardening.

Aquael presents this stunning range of aquariums now in South Africa, which provide a high quality finish that is well suited to any modern environment. The Aquael Aludekor aquariums and cabinets are available in a range of sizes from 80 to 150cm. All units are supplied without filtration or heating equipment, enabling you to choose your own prefered brand. We do however recommend using the Aquael Unimax canister filters and comfortzone heaters.
ALUDEKOR water tanks are made of durable glass panels of proper thickness that are bonded with special black silicone. This not only makes the tank durable and watertight but also reduces the discernibility of dirt and sediment.
The lid of the water tank included in the ALUDEKOR set is made of aluminium profiles and plastic plates. The lid is decorated with veneer strips that can be selected to suite the room interior. For your convenience, with each set we include veneer strips in four colours: black, beech, wenge, and alder. Ha.. [More]

It's easy to see why nano reef aquariums are so popular. Who wouldn't you want a tiny portion of the ocean sitting on your desk? Especially when it costs a fraction of what larger reef systems cost. A nano reef delivers endless fascination, from the saunter of its careful invertebrates to the abrupt retreat of its bashful fish. Every alcove contains a hidden wonder. For seasoned hobbyists, a nano reef offers an exciting challenge with beautiful rewards for a home or office. If you're thinking about a nano reef, consider the following for nano reef success.
Miniature Reefs
In the most practical sense, all home reef aquariums are miniature reefs when compared to expansive natural reefs. However, the term "nano reef" generally refers to a miniature reef system that is typically 50 litres or less, housing corals, invertebrates, and perhaps a few fish. That's a lot of complexity in a small space.

The filter is widely considered the most important part of any fish aquarium. This fantastic piece of kit will keep your fish happy by removing toxic waste products and chemicals from the aquarium. Some filters also work to ensure that air is introduced into the water.
Without filter media inside the filter however, it will be pretty much pointless. Filter media is used to collect all of the particles and dirt that is removed from the aquarium, so that it doesn’t flow straight back into the fish tank.
There are three types of filter media, mechanical, biological, and chemical. All three types can work together to ensure the smooth running of your fish tank.
Over time, beneficial bacteria will grow inside your tank and inside the filtration media, helping the fish tank to stay healthy naturally.
How to clean your filter media
Never wash your filter media in tap water. This will strip the filter media of bacteria by polluting it with chlorine and o.. [More]

Whether you're establishing your first aquarium, or expanding your hobby experience with a new niche system, small aquariums, approximately 30 litres or less, make a rewarding and relaxing project at home or in the office.
A nano aquarium's compact footprint make it a perfect fit for that empty corner or bare wall, and with the advances in multi-stage filtration and compact fluorescent lighting, maintaining a thriving freshwater or marine system is easier than ever.
Small-volume aquariums also demand special attention because changes in water quality, temperature, and fish stress levels become more pronounced in aquariums less than 30 litres. With patience, research, and a little extra diligence, you too can create a beautiful, healthy nano-system. Here are some tips to get started:
Pick a Kit - A hobbyist's best bet is to get a foolproof aquarium kit with integrated filtration and lighting built-in. That way, every component is a perfect fit, and you'll j.. [More]

The Aquael Reef Master aquarium set is now available in South Africa and is a fully equipped bow-front marine tank. It replaces the older Reef Max 60 version with many new improvements. Reef Master includes a water treatment centre with full marine filtration, which is cleverly concealed in a hidden section at the rear of the tank, which consists of a biological trickling filter with bio filter baskets and an efficient protein skimmer with comb filter.
Dense combs protecting the intake, guarantee the safety of fish and other animals. The biological filtration baskets are filled with bio balls and the protein skimmer is equipped with an efficiency regulation system, in the form of a control that allows you to increase or decrease the speed of foam generation. It is also equipped with a large container that requires emptying no more than once every few days.
Temperature in the hood is controlled by an integrated cooling fan system. A specially chosen glass scree.. [More]
