Key Features & Benefits
- 91% Diamant Ultra-Clear Glass: Low-iron glass construction removes residual green tint distortion, ensuring true-to-life color reproduction for aquatic 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.
- Vertical Nano Footprint: The 9.45" height provides extra vertical room in a compact footprint, allowing hardscape and plants to extend upward or break the waterline.
- 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 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.
