ZooMed Low Boy Breeder & Frag Aquarium
A low, wide, open-top tank built for growing. The ZooMed Low Boy is an ultra-shallow glass aquarium with a large footprint and just 10 inches of height. That low profile keeps your livestock and corals close to the light and within easy reach, which is exactly what you want in a coral frag grow-out system or a fish breeding and fry-rearing tank. Made in the U.S.A. from ZooMed quality glass.
Pair it with the rest of our aquariums and saltwater gear.
Why a Low Boy
- Shallow 10 in depth: excellent light penetration for coral frags and plants, with easy access for maintenance and fragging
- Large footprint: plenty of floor space for frag racks, breeding groups, or a shallow lagoon aquascape
- Open top: ships without a lid, so it drops right under a hanging or mounted light
- Fresh or saltwater: a versatile grow-out tank for tetras, bettas, clownfish, shrimp, and coral frags
- Made in the U.S.A. from ZooMed quality glass

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come with a top or lid? No. Both sizes ship open-top, which is ideal for overhead frag and reef lighting. You can add a mesh or screen top separately if you keep jumping species.
Can I use it for saltwater and coral? Yes. The shallow, wide design is popular for coral frag grow-out and shallow reef displays, and it works equally well as a freshwater grow-out or breeding tank.
Why is it so shallow? The 10 inch height keeps corals and plants near the light and makes the whole tank easy to reach, while the large footprint still gives you plenty of room to work.
Where is it made? The Low Boy is manufactured in the U.S.A. from ZooMed quality glass.
