Product Overview
The Ultum Nature Systems (UNS) 3N 2.9 Gallon Ultra Clear Rimless Aquarium delivers a compact, museum-quality canvas perfect for nano aquascaping. Ideal for desktops, countertops, and small living spaces, nano aquariums offer an approachable, low-commitment entry into planted tanks and shrimp keeping.
Key Features & Benefits
- 91% Diamant Ultra-Clear Glass: Premium low-iron glass eliminates the green tint found in standard aquariums for true-to-life color accuracy.
- 45° Mitered Edges & German Silicone: Precision-cut 45-degree mitered joints double the bonding surface area for high-performance German clear silicone, forming stronger seams.
- Golden Ratio Proportions: Scaled around classic aesthetic proportions to provide enhanced front-to-back depth, offering aquascapers essential room for hardscape perspective and plant layering in a nano footprint.
- Signature Laser-Etched Branding: Features a clean, laser-etched UNS logo in the glass corner for an authentic, permanent finish that won't peel or fade.
- Acoustic Leveling Mat Included: Includes a pre-cut dense foam leveling mat to absorb micro-vibrations, level minor surface imperfections, and prevent structural stress cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What type of livestock is ideal for a 2.9-gallon nano aquarium?
Due to its compact 2.9-gallon volume, the UNS 3N is best suited for low-bioload nano aquascapes. It also makes an exceptional desktop display for aquatic mosses and slow-growing epiphytic plants like Anubias Nana Petite.
2. Why is a leveling mat necessary for rimless nano aquariums?
Because rimless glass tanks rest directly on their bottom panel without a raised plastic perimeter frame, even microscopic debris or grain of sand on a stand can create concentrated stress points. The included dense foam mat absorbs vibrations and distributes weight evenly across the entire footprint to prevent glass fractures.
3. Can I use a glass lid on the tank?
Yes. Ultum Nature Systems offers precision-cut glass lids (available in Lid + Clip or Flush Fit options) to minimize evaporation and prevent livestock from jumping out.

Q&A
- What is the best looking / sized stand for this size (3 gal rimless) aquarium?? Is the glass stand that's fitted for the 45u (9 gallon) the best option?
- Hi Eric, Thank you for your question. We'd say the best sized stand would be either the 30 or 45 sized stands. Any other and it might be too big. The glass stand is beautiful and any UNS tank on top will look amazing.
