The Desktop Cube Aquarium Starter Kit is a compact, thoughtfully curated setup designed for creating a clean, planted aquarium in a small, self-contained space. Built around Ultum Nature Systems rimless cube aquariums, this kit includes essential components selected for simplicity, balance, and visual clarity.

With a minimal lighting system and plant-ready substrate, it provides a simple foundation for building a small aquascape that maintains a clean, modern look for desks, shelves, or countertops.

Choosing Your Size
- 16C Kit: A compact, true nano aquarium ideal for minimal layouts and very small spaces.
- 20C Kit: A slightly larger cube that offers more flexibility for plant selection and aquascape design while keeping a small footprint.

What This Kit is Best For
- Small space planted aquariums
- Beginners looking for a simple starting point
- Creating gallery-style planted displays

What’s Included
- UNS 16C or 20C Rimless Aquarium
- Black Leveling Mat
- Aqua Worx SOL Light Hanging Solution
- Aqua Worx SOL Magnetic Puck LED Light
- UNS Controsoil (1L for 16C / 3L for 20C)
- UNS Delta Mini Surface Skimmer (optional for 20C)

The 16C option includes a light stand with base, while the 20C options include a light hanging bar.

This kit is designed as a simple starting point for planted aquariums. Additional elements such as hardscape, aquatic plants, and optional equipment can be added comfortably when ready.

Due to the smaller water volume, consistency in maintenance and careful stocking are important for long-term success. With proper care, this system can support a clean, balanced planted aquarium in a compact space.
