Fluval Liv Aquarium Kit
The Fluval Liv Microscaping Aquarium Kit is a striking 6 litre (1.6 US gallon) round glass nano aquarium designed for microscaping, the art of building tiny, detailed planted landscapes. Its frameless bowl and slim overhead LED give an unobstructed, gallery-like view of your aquascape, while a hidden filtration system keeps the water clear without cluttering the look. Available in white or teak to suit your decor. Browse our freshwater plants and nano invertebrates to bring it to life.
Features
- Round, frameless bowl. The curved glass globe gives a beautiful, distortion-light 360-degree view and makes the Liv a genuine living centerpiece.
- Brilliant 6800K LED lighting. A crisp overhead LED delivers a bright, natural daylight tone that shows off plants and hardscape and supports healthy low-to-medium light growth.
- Hidden filtration system. A concealed filter and pump gently circulate and clean the water while staying out of sight for that clean, minimalist look.
- Unobstructed viewing. With no visible equipment inside the bowl, nothing distracts from your microscape.
- Low energy consumption. The efficient LED and small pump cost very little to run around the clock.
- Two finishes. Choose a crisp white or warm teak base to match your space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is microscaping? Microscaping is the hobby of creating small, detailed planted aquascapes in nano tanks. The Liv's bright LED and hidden filtration are tailored for it.
Can I keep fish in it? In moderation. A 6 litre bowl suits a small shrimp colony, a nerite snail, or a single betta once fully cycled. Avoid overstocking.
Does it come with a heater? No. For tropical shrimp, a betta, or warm-water plants, add a small nano heater. Cold-water setups can skip it.
What is the difference between white and teak? Only the color of the base. Both hold the same 6 litre round bowl with identical lighting and filtration.
