1. What is the UNS 16T tall pico aquarium best used for?
Due to its 1.6-gallon volume and 9.45" height, the UNS 16T is designed for micro-aquascaping, tall stem plant propagation, moss columns, or emergent Wabi-Kusa layouts where wood or plants extend above the rim.
2. Can I keep fish or shrimp in a 1.6-gallon aquarium?
Due to the small 1.6-gallon capacity, fish are not recommended.
3. Why is a leveling mat necessary for rimless aquariums?
Because rimless glass tanks rest directly on their base panel without a raised plastic frame, even a microscopic grain of sand on a desk can create concentrated stress points under weight. The included dense foam mat absorbs micro-vibrations and distributes weight evenly across the entire footprint to prevent glass stress cracks.

"you can never go wrong with a uns tank"
"Beautiful crystal clear class and perfect seams. You can’t go wrong with UNS!"
"This tank is so much fun to scape and to work with. The unique dimensions paired with the outstanding build quality make this an easy buy."
"The tank arrived with good protective packaging. There were no scratches and the seams looked perfect. For me, this is the right size to sit next to my computer monitor. I bought a lid to keep the spray from the airstone contained. I don't plan on having livestock in the tank - just plants and a few bladder snails."
"Perfect size for my opae ula. Glass is clear and 45 degree edges are very nice and unobtrusive."
"Amazing aquarium"
"Very nice size. Pairs very well with the ONF nano light. I wish the glass cover would have rubber “pad” to keep it from sliding too easily."
"Maximum use of available space, in a very sturdy container. Replaced a gallon jar, and more than worth it. Far sturdier than mass produced thinner glass aquariums, these have effectively replaced steel rimmed heavy duty aquariums of the past, at an acceptable price point. Couldn't be happier, thanks!"
"Great service and products as always."
"I’m using this tank as a paludarium and it’s holding up very well. The silicone seam is great and the glass is really good quality. I have another tank from a different place, but the silicone seam is not unappealing so I just purchased a larger size UNS tank."
