The glass and silicone are aquarium-safe for fresh, brackish and marine water; it is the equipment you add, not the tank itself, that determines what you can keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the glass thickness, and is it enough for 27 litres?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 mm, which is the standard thickness Bioscape uses across this size in the Ultra Clear range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill a standard filter and heater fit this size?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — nano-rated filters and heaters (typically rated to 30–40 L) suit a 27 L volume comfortably. Check the internal water level rather than the external tank dimensions when sizing equipment, since Bioscape does not publish internal measurements for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55242256974115,"sku":"AA1971","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/bioscape-45cm-ultra-clear-glass-aquarium-tank-45x22x25-3001540-1600.jpg?v=1781836515","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-45cm-ultra-clear-glass-aquarium-tank-45x22x25","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
