Standard Rimless Glass Aquariums

The Ultimate Rimless Glass Aquarium Tank

Ultum Nature Systems was the first brand to produce rimless aquariums using ultra high clarity low iron glass with a very unique feature - the 45 degree mitered edge. Unlike traditional rimless aquariums, where all 5 panels of glass are cut with a flat edge then bonded together with clear silicone, the Ultum Nature Systems aquariums take it to the next level.

The mitered edge used by UNS on 4 glass panels allows for a much more seamless joint and requires less silicone to form the corners of an aquarium. This means that not only are the corner edges much cooler to look at, the silicone can be much more precise and cleaned up nicer, which means no globs of leftover dried silicone. A secondary benefit to this is that because the silicone is now angled unlike their flat edged 90 degree counterparts, aquarium maintenance tools such as an algae scraper can clean up against each corner without the worry of accidentally cutting into and degrading the silicone seam overtime, which could lead to potential tank leakage.

The minimal usage of silicone provides a cleaner look while the holding strength is just as strong as traditional silicone seamed corners.

Standard Rimless Glass Aquariums for Aquascaping

Standard tanks are the most popular style in the hobby. They come in multiple sizes and are larger in water volume. Standard rimless aquariums are used for all types of aquarium keeping such as freshwater planted and saltwater coral reef tanks - a pillar of the aquarium hobby!

Why Choose a Standard Tank?

Ultum Nature Systems (UNS) standard aquariums are a solid all-purpose choice for your aquascaping ideas! Each UNS tank features low-iron, ultra-clear glass that offers a crystal clear view of your aquascape and freshwater livestock.

Which Standard Aquarium is Right for you?

A larger tank that holds more water is a great choice for beginners because there is more room for mistakes. More water means parameters are less likely to shift, making it easier to maintain stable conditions. Alternatively, some models aren't too big and let the enthusiasts add another setup to the collection (iykyk)! Standard tanks also offer much more space to work on creative aquarium design. If you’re not sure where to start, we have some aquarium starter kits that include essential gear that’s already specced out for you. All that’s left is to choose your aquatic plants, hardscape, substrate and additional bonuses for an easy plug and play solution.
