FISH TANK SHOW PRO

The pre-drilled glass tank includes an internal Trapezoid Infinity Overflow with dual return nozzles, Pro Series screen lid, pre-installed rubber mat, and the required plumbing. These tanks measure 47.3 L x 23.6 W x 19.7 H inches (120.1 L x 59.9 W x 50.0 H cm) and are made from Ultra-Thick 15mm High Clarity Low Iron Glass sealed with black silicone. The INT 100 Gallon Aquarium w/ APS Stand is one of the most popular 100-gallon fish tank setups available. We have based our decisions on price, quality, customer reviews, and what is included with the tank. We have compiled a list of our top 3 choices for 100-gallon fish tank systems. Larger tanks also don’t experience as drastic changes in water parameters as smaller tanks do since there is a greater water volume, influxes of ammonia or phosphate are more evenly integrated into the system and have a smaller effect on the whole ecosystem. In the case of a power outage, larger tanks take longer to cool off and can make the difference between losing everything in your tank to only losing a few things here and there. Not only can more bacteria grow and more species be displayed, but the tank will also take on a life of its own and go on auto-pilot at some points. Lastly, a larger aquarium does a better job of imitating a natural environment. One of the main problems with small tanks is that most times the hobbyist wants a lot of fish, but also needs to consider that each fish needs its own area within the tank mapping out aggression can get pretty difficult, especially in a saltwater system! While aggression still needs to be monitored, larger systems can help dilute any immediate problems that would otherwise be felt in a smaller tank. More space in general also means more space for fish to set up territories. A more expansive floorplan will allow for active fish to swim while additional tank height will let individual fish inhabit their preferred portion of the water column. Of course, a larger aquarium will allow for more livestock, like fish, corals, plants, and invertebrates. The more bacteria there are, the more that your system will be able to regulate its own parameters and contained the ecosystem. Aquarium equipment, like filtration, powerheads, heaters, and protein skimmers will also add to the amount of space for bacteria to establish itself. Simply put, a larger aquarium means more space! You might be thinking that most importantly, this allows for more fish but even more important than that, more space allows for more surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow.Ī larger aquarium not only provides more surface area on the sides of the walls, but there is also more space for decorations that bacteria can grow on. There are a few reasons why bigger is almost always better in the aquarium hobby:

While nano aquariums might seem like they’re less maintenance than larger tanks, this is not true.
