Product Overview
The Ultum Nature Systems (UNS) 45L 3.4 Gallon Ultra Clear Rimless Aquarium provides an expansive horizontal canvas for nano aquascaping. Belonging to the specialized "L" (Long) series, the 45L's elongated footprint gives aquascapers the room needed to create sweeping Iwagumi stone layouts, panoramic riverbed scapes, and dramatic depth of field in a compact volume.
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.
- Elongated Panoramic Proportions: The specialized 17.72-inch length offers extra horizontal "runway" room, making it ideal for active nano schooling fish (like chili rasboras or neon tetras) and dwarf shrimp.
- Signature Laser-Etched Branding: Features a clean, laser-etched UNS logo in the glass corner for an authentic, museum-quality finish that will not 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. Why select a long (45L) nano tank over a standard cube aquarium?
The UNS 45L features an extended 17.72-inch length that provides a wider horizontal viewing angle and greater swimming distance for nano livestock. This footprint is especially popular for riverbed aquascapes, moss walls, and Iwagumi layouts that benefit from horizontal symmetry.
2. Why is a leveling mat necessary for rimless aquariums?
Because rimless glass tanks rest directly on their bottom panel without a raised plastic perimeter frame, even microscopic debris or sand grains on a stand can create concentrated stress points. The included foam leveling mat absorbs vibrations and distributes weight evenly across the entire footprint to prevent glass stress cracks.
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.
