It comes in two footprints — 180 x 60 x 30cm and 240 x 90 x 30cm, both in 15mm glass — and ships as a bare glass tank only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-iron, ultra-clear glass\u003c\/strong\u003e — minimises the green tint ordinary glass shows at these panel sizes, for true coral colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen, rimless top\u003c\/strong\u003e — unobstructed access for frag racks, tongs and full-width lighting, with no bracing across the water's surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15mm glass\u003c\/strong\u003e — on both sizes, rated for the shallow-but-wide format rather than a tall display tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShallow, even depth\u003c\/strong\u003e — 30cm deep on both sizes, so every frag on the rack sits at close to the same depth and receives close to the same PAR from an overhead light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide floor area\u003c\/strong\u003e — the 240 x 90cm roughly doubles the usable floor area of the 180 x 60cm for the same 30cm depth, for close to double the frag rack capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e180 x 60 x 30cm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e240 x 90 x 30cm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eARI06\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eARI08\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 x 60 x 30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240 x 90 x 30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow-iron, ultra-clear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow-iron, ultra-clear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen, rimless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen, rimless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. gross glass volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~324 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~648 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume figures above are a straight length × width × height calculation from the external dimensions — Bioscape doesn't publish a rated water capacity for this tank.

The 240 x 90cm gives roughly double the floor area of the 180 x 60cm, so it suits a shop or a grow-out system running through frags faster; the 180 x 60cm suits a hobbyist frag system alongside an existing display tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included \/ Not included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e the glass tank itself, in the dimensions and glass thickness listed above.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e lid, stand or cabinet, lighting, filter, return pump, sump, heater.

Bioscape doesn't publish an empty tank weight for this model, so treat those water-only figures as a floor — not a ceiling — on the filled weight, and check the load rating of your stand and floor structure before siting either size, particularly upstairs or on a suspended floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovered against manufacturing defects on arrival, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
