UNS 20TM - 3.2 Gallon Prism Rimless Tank
Product Overview
The UNS 20TM 3.2 Gallon Prism Rimless Tank is a versatile multi-purpose glass enclosure designed to function as an aquarium, terrarium, or paludarium. It pairs a compact footprint with an elevated height, providing vertical scale for tall hardscape pillars, jungle-style stem plants, or emersed Wabi-Kusa layouts. This unit includes a flush inset glass lid to retain ambient humidity for moisture-loving tropical species.
Key Features & Benefits
- 91% Diamant Ultra-Clear Glass: Premium low-iron glass removes the greenish tint found in standard aquariums for true-to-life color reproduction.
-
45° Mitered Edges & German Silicone: Precision 45-degree joints double the bonding surface area for maximum structural strength and borderless viewing.
- Elevated Vertical Proportions: Elevated 11.81" height offers vertical clearance for tall rockwork, driftwood branches, and emergent plant displays within a small footprint.
- Mitered Inset Glass Lid Included: Includes a precision-cut glass lid that sits flush inside the frame, featuring a central cutout port that balances humidity retention with healthy gas exchange.
- 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. How does the UNS Prism series differ from standard UNS aquariums?
The Prism series features an increased vertical profile and includes a flush-fitting, mitered inset glass lid. This design allows the tank to function seamlessly as an aquarium, high-humidity terrarium, or paludarium for tropical plants.
2. What setups are best suited for the UNS 20TM?
The 3.2-gallon volume and 11.81" height make the 20TM ideal for nano vertical aquascapes, terrestrial moss terrariums, and Wabi-Kusa displays.
3. Why is a leveling mat necessary for rimless glass enclosures?
Because rimless glass tanks rest directly on their base panel without a raised plastic frame, even a microscopic grain of sand on a stand 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.
