Key Features:
Modern Design
The QubiQ aquariums are specially designed as an attractive desktop nano aquarium. The filter and heater cables can be hidden through the smart cable support on the back. A glass cover is provided to prevent any fish jumping out.
LED Lighting
A 2 colour (white and blue) 12 W LED light is provided to bring out the natural colour of the fish and provide healthy plant growth. The light is controlled by a simple touch button on the top of the hood and can be dimmed in 3 separate steps. The light hood folds up for easy aquarium access.
How easy it is to set up an aquarium?
Place the tank on a sturdy, level surface away from direct sunlight and drafts. Rinse the tank, substrate (like gravel or sand), and ornaments with water—don’t use soap. Plug in and test all equipment such as heaters, filters, air pumps, and lights. Remember to make sure the heaters are fully submerged before turning them on.
Spread the substrate evenly at the bottom of the tank. Arrange your decorations—rocks, plants, and ornaments—how you like. When filling the tank, add a water conditioner to remove chlorine and other chemicals from the tap water, then gently pour the water to avoid disturbing the substrate.
Add a bacterial supplement to help cycle your tank, it can take a couple of weeks for the environment to become safe enough for your fish to thrive in. Make sure to regularly use test kits to monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.
Maintain your aquarium by doing weekly water changes of 10-20%, cleaning or replacing filter media as needed, and regularly checking water quality and fish health.
What else should be brought?
What species of fish will be suitable for this aquarium?
This aquarium is well-suited for cooler water fish, making it an excellent choice for species like minnows and danios. Minnows such as the vibrant White Cloud Mountain Minnows or the active Rosy Red Minnows are ideal for this setup. They are hardy and adapt well to cooler water temperatures. Similarly, danios, including popular Zebra Danios, are known for their lively behaviour and adaptability to cooler conditions, adding dynamic movement to your tank.
If you're interested in a wider variety of fish, adding a heater to the aquarium allows you to explore species that prefer warmer water. With a heater, you can consider tropical fish such as tetras, guppies, and platies, which thrive in slightly warmer temperatures typically ranging from 22-26°C.
If you are unsure what fish you would like, then pop into your local store or visit our comprehensive databank for detailed information on our wide variety of fish species.
