Ultum Nature Systems standard rimless aquariums offer an elevated take on traditional tank formats, supporting a wide range of aquascaping styles. With subtle adjustments to classic proportions, UNS standard tanks provide a versatile canvas for building complete aquascape layouts with signature foreground, midground, and background composition.

This format is great for nature-style planted aquariums, allowing for flexibility in plant selection, hardscape structure, and overall layout design. From simple aquascapes to contest-ready displays, standard aquariums make it easy to try different nooks within the hobby. The UNS 60U has become a go-to size for many aquascapers, offering a balanced footprint that’s manageable to maintain while still providing enough space to create beautiful planted tanks.

Available in a variety of sizes, standard aquariums remain a pillar for hobbyists looking for a well-rounded, adaptable tank that balances design, form and function.

Like all UNS aquariums, each tank is crafted with ultra-clear low iron glass and clean, minimalist lines, offering a refined foundation for your next freshwater planted or saltwater reef aquarium.

Ultum Nature Systems Rimless Standard Glass Aquarium Tank

Scapelight - The Standard Form

In aquarium terms, “standard” refers to a proportionally balanced, rectangular tank with more than 9 gallons of total water volume. This category includes some of the largest aquariums that modern-day hobbyists can fit into their homes! They’re a pillar of the aquarium hobby—they’re easy to maintain and balance thanks to their physical space and water volume. Some of our favorites (and best-selling sizes) include the Ultum Nature Systems 45U (9-gallon) and 60U (20-gallon) rimless tanks. Let’s highlight past planted tanks in each of these classics.

Green Haven

This nature-style planted tank came to life in the UNS 45U standard rimless glass aquarium. The main star was carefully selected Malaysian Driftwood that would influence every decision made afterwards. Teetering between a centered and triangular layout, this aquascape remains in our personal top favorites. (We think the scape community might agree!) We completed the look with focus on the fine details. Everything from moss-covered wood and epiphytic aquarium plant placement to supporting stones, accent gravel, and equipment was chosen with care and intention.

Tank Dimensions: 17.71 x 11.02 x 11.02”
Plants Used: Rotala sp., Bolbitis Heudelotti, Peacock Moss, Mixed Bucephalandra sp.
Hardscape: Malaysian Driftwood, Manten Stone
Substrate: Tropica Aquasoil, Natural Sand & Gravel

Ultum Nature Systems UNS 60U Iwagumi Planted Aquarium Tank Aquascape

Green Glacier

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Green Glacier is an Iwagumi aquascape that features heavy Seiryu Stone work in the 20-gallon Ultum Nature Systems 60U aquarium. The UNS 60U is our go-to recommendation for a standard-sized planted tank—and a best-seller at that. It’s well-balanced: not small enough to be considered a nano aquarium, yet big enough to comfortably support a sizable school of tropical fish like Tetras or Rasboras. This aquascape is a great example of fully utilizing the UNS 60U’s spacious dimensions, with high sloping substrate topped off with one of our favorite aquarium carpeting plants, Micranthemum ‘Monte Carlo’.

Reviews

UNS tanks are the best

"UNS tanks are the best, glass is great, sizes are always great, never had a leak (I have 3 of them, all different sizes), & glass aqua has the fastest shipping for the UNS brand tanks which are already fairly hard to find."

Kelsie F. (5/5)

Sleek, high quality tank with great clarity

"I’m really impressed with this UNS rimless tall glass aquarium. The glass clarity is excellent—super clean, no distortion, and really makes everything inside pop. The rimless design gives it a modern, minimalist look that fits perfectly in any space. The build quality feels solid, with clean silicone work and sturdy construction. I especially like the tall profile—it’s great for aquascaping and creating depth. Only thing to keep in mind is that because it’s rimless, you’ll want to be careful during setup and maintenance, but that’s expected with this style of tank. Overall, definitely worth it if you’re looking for a clean, high-end aquarium."

Teagan R. (5/5)

Beautiful aquarium. Love the chamfered

"Beautiful aquarium. Love the chamfered edges (or mitered cut, as they call it). Only thing is that it came with some small scratches, but nothing I’d fuss too much about. Then i noticed a few more scratches. I have been dry-scraping to see what look I want, so I’m sure I do it, but I’ve been very careful and I’ve done this with several tanks in the past that didn’t scratch as easily. Maybe its the ultra-clear glass is more prone to scratch, I dunno."

Antonio R. (4/5)

"Arrived quickly and in good shape. A very nice looking and well constructed tank so far"

Sara (5/5)

"Tank is well made, it was well packed."

Lacey (5/5)

Beautiful Tank

"Beautiful, minimalist, simple tank. Looks fantastic in the formerly unused corner of my kitchen counter. Will make a great planted shrimp tank. Very happy with purchase."

Colin W. (5/5)

Great tank

"I was hesitant on ordering a glass aquarium online, but based on reviews, I decided to go for it. It turned out great! Tank was double boxed and protected by FedEx’s improper handling."

Chris N. (5/5)

"Excellent tank and delivery. I was nervous about transport and quality of the sealing, neither of which were an issue. Reslly enjoying this beauty."

Q&A

Can these tanks be drilled? Or are they constructed with tempered glass?
Yes, they can be drilled. UNS utilizes non-tempered glass for these tanks.
Would you recommend the 60U model for a Landen 23.6" W × 15.7" D × 15.7" H (60cm x 40cm x 40cm) 8mm Thickness?
Hi Malone, The UNS 60U has the following dimensions: 23.62" x 14.17" x 14.17" It's one of the most popular (one of our favorites too!) and we're certain you'll love it. Feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions.
Hi I'm looking for an aquarium stand or cabinet 45x45x85-95cm height. Do you have any?
Hello and thanks for your interest. Unfortunately we do not offer a 45CM stand since that is not a standardize aquarium size at the moment.
