If your are short on space but love aquariums, consider a nano aquarium such as this.

If you are considering purchasing this nano tank, it’s also important to keep in mind how small this product is. You will be limited to small and few fish. As such, this tank is relatively popular for betta fish enthusiasts, planted tank hobbyists, and cherry shrimp owners.

Fluval Spec Features:

3 Stages Of Filtration:

Mechanical:

Porous foam block that traps large debris. The foam block is easy to clean and reusable.

Chemical:

Activated carbon included. Easy to remove and replace. However, in my opinion, you should consider using Seachem Purigen as it is vastly superior to carbon.
