UNS 16C - 1 Gallon Ultra Clear Rimless Aquarium
Product Overview
The UNS 16C 1 Gallon Ultra Clear Rimless Aquarium provides a nano-scale symmetrical cube canvas designed for tabletop micro-aquascaping and plant displays. Featuring equal dimensions on all sides, the Cube format centers focus inward, making it an ideal footprint for micro hardscapes, moss arrangements, or Wabi-Kusa displays.
Key Features & Benefits
- 91% Diamant Ultra-Clear Glass: Low-iron glass construction removes residual green tint distortion, ensuring true-to-life color reproduction for plants, mosses, and hardscape.
- 45° Mitered Edges & German Silicone: Precision-cut 45-degree mitered joints increase bonding surface area for clear German silicone, creating stronger structural seams and borderless viewing.
- Symmetrical Cube Geometry: Equal 6.29" dimensions offer a balanced, compact visual frame suitable for small desks, countertops, or gallery displays.
- Signature Laser-Etched Branding: Features a clean, laser-etched UNS logo in the glass corner for an authentic finish that will not peel or fade.
- Acoustic Leveling Mat Included: Pre-cut dense foam leveling mat absorbs micro-vibrations, levels surface irregularities, and protects against glass stress points.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the UNS 16C cube aquarium best used for?
Due to its 1-gallon volume and small cubic dimensions, the UNS 16C is designed primarily for micro-aquascaping, moss-focused displays, Wabi-Kusa arrangements, or emersed plant propagation.
2. Can I keep fish or shrimp in a 1-gallon aquarium?
Due to the small 1-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.
