Tank for the 30l aquarium example

The aquarium used in this example is the Dennerle Nano Cube 30l. Due to the modern cube design, this fits perfectly on any desk. This tank is also ideal as an eye-catcher in other places.

Aquarium equipment

Filter

The Dennerle Nano corner filter provides filtration and surface movement. Due to the practically small design, it is hardly noticeable in the tank. If necessary, you can also make it completely invisible with stones or roots. In addition, the filter is extremely quiet. This makes it possible to operate it in the bedroom or at the workplace without any problems.

Lighting

In order for plants to grow in the aquarium, lighting is needed. This is provided by the Chihiros LED A series (A301). This light is particularly convincing in the area of price / performance. But in addition, it has a simple flat design, which fits perfectly with the overall concept.

Heater

The heater used in this aquarium is the Dennerle Nano ThermoCompact (25W). This convinces with its inconspicuous design. Through this heater it is possible to increase the water temperature to above room temperature. This is necessary so that the fish feel comfortable in the tank.

Animals for the 30l aquarium example

Growling dwarf gouramis

Growling dwarf gouramis are very special fish. For they captivate not only with their attractive appearance, but they also have the ability to make noises. That is where the name comes from. Due to their small size they already fit into such small aquariums. Either a pair (1M + 1W) or a trio (1M + 2W) should move into this tank.

Staghorn snails

Staghorn snails, as the name suggests, have several spines on their shell. This makes them look extremely interesting upon closer inspection. But in addition to their appearance, they bring an important feature to the aquarium. These snails help keep the aquarium clean and rid it of algae. Because of the size of the tank should be used only 2-3 animals.
