Fiji Cube 48 Gallon Shallow EXT Rimless Aquarium
The Fiji Cube 48 Gallon Shallow EXT Rimless Aquarium is a 48 gallon rimless display tank built from ultra-clear low iron glass, paired with Fiji Cube's slim, low-profile external overflow box. Because the overflow hangs on the outside of the back glass, the whole inside of the tank is open for aquascaping. Order it as the bare tank, with a matching Black or White cabinet stand, or as a Full Package with a Fiji Cube Advanced Reef Sump, water reservoir and plumbing fittings.

Why Fiji Cube EXT
- Ultra-clear low iron glass, rimless, with extra thick glass for the size.
- Slim external overflow: cast acrylic box with a removable surface skimmer weir, included with the tank along with the return nozzle kit.
- Quiet, safe drain options: smaller EXT tanks run a Herbie style overflow with an emergency drain; larger tanks can also be plumbed Bean Animal style.
- Freshwater or saltwater: a reef-ready design that works just as well for a planted or fish-only display.
