Aqueon Glass Aquarium
The tank that starts it all. The Aqueon Standard Glass Aquarium is a clean, sturdy, black-trim glass tank that works for just about any setup, freshwater or saltwater. Built with care and sealed to last, it is the classic foundation for a first aquarium, a planted tank, a shrimp or betta home, a quarantine tank, or a bigger community build. Choose from seven sizes, from a 2.5 gallon desktop nano up to a 40 gallon breeder.
Pair your new tank with a sturdy aquarium stand and everything else you need from our freshwater and saltwater supplies.
Built to Last
- Solid glass construction with clean black trim that fits any room.
- Silicone-sealed seams for a reliable, watertight build.
- Center-braced one-piece frame on the larger sizes to prevent glass bowing when full.
- Freshwater and saltwater ready, so the same tank can grow with your hobby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come with a lid, light, or filter?
No. This is the glass aquarium only, which lets you choose the exact filter, heater, lid, and lighting that fit your fish and your budget. Our team can help you pick the right gear.
Which size should a beginner choose?
A 10 or 20 gallon is the sweet spot for most first-time fishkeepers. Bigger water volume is more stable and more forgiving than a tiny tank, while still fitting on a standard stand.
Can I use it for saltwater or a reef?
Yes. These are standard glass tanks suitable for freshwater or saltwater. For reef rock work, the wider 18 inch footprint of the 40 Breeder gives you the most room to aquascape.
Why is this pickup only?
Glass aquariums are heavy and break easily in transit, so we offer them for in-store pickup. Reserve online and we will have your tank ready and inspected when you arrive.
