Hey all! We just got a massive shipment in and have some excess stock, so these tanks are on sale until we clear out all the boxes backing the bathroom door :)

This is a 70L tank (50cm x 29cm x 49cm) perfect for shrimp, snails and fish. It comes with a light, and fully functioning filter in the lid. The light is a 3 mode light as well.

It's a good idea to order livestock at least a week after setting up your aquarium, however, if you'd like to add some in immediately we strongly recommend getting some startup-bacteria. If you haven't already got some, we also recommend adding aquasoil and some plants which you can set up now before adding shrimp or fish. Don't forget a water conditioner as well!

We also have a smaller 8L tank on sale here.
And don't forget to check out our sales page for all our other sales.

Thanks.

-EDIT-
We have sold quite a few so price is now increasing slightly. It's still a great deal and will be going to full price at the end of the week.

    Awesome, got one for the kids! Should look good with half a dozen goldfish in there

        shouldn't you, as a responsible aquarium retail professional, be advising caution against such a small body of water for such a potentially large bioload?

        • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 30/09/2024 - 11:37
          +10

          Yes that is true. It's possible they are kept there temporarily while they grow out, I got the impression from the comment that they knew what they were talking about… but now that I think about it it's probably more likely that they did know what they were talking about and it was a purposeful bait comment…

        • Trishool on 30/09/2024 - 12:38

          Depends on the size of the fish and his long they're kept in there. Plus looked like it was a bait comment given that persons previous aquarium related comments, they seem to be seasoned on the subject matter

          • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 30/09/2024 - 12:59

            @Trishool: Yeah and it looks like it really worked judging by all the replies XD

            • theredkrawler on 02/10/2024 - 15:11

              @Brandingo: I'll send you an invoice for the successful engagement boost.

              Might put it towards a trio of male Bettas for this tank! They normally just live in puddles so this should be plenty of room, and normally they're so lonely that putting them in a group will be perfect to keep them happy 🤗

      6 goldfish will make for a significant bioload.

      they get to 15-20cm pretty quick if water quality is maintained.

      wouldn't keep more than 2-3 in such a small tank / filter.

      do your research, dont be a fish killer.

      • Mr Buggles on 30/09/2024 - 11:17

        I would say one goldfish in a tank this small would be pushing it, OP is just irresponsible to support the 'half a dozen' comment without correcting it.

        • BLAIL on 30/09/2024 - 14:11

          how did both of you fall for the troll comment - seriously guys - I doubt either of you have kept goldfish in your lives

        This is correct. You could have 6 for about a year but when they get to about 10cm I'd suggest 2 in a 70L.

    • Agent Q on 30/09/2024 - 11:15

      consider some tropical fish witha heater for that tank size like some colourful guppies which are easy to start with.

      As others have said, if you are thinking about adding goldfish, keep in mind that as they grow you probably don't really want more than two in there, and as they get to ~15cm you likely will need a bigger tank for them.

      Most smaller tropical fish you can have up to 14 in there, and if your house gets below 20C in winter, a heater would be recommended over the winter time.

    • unifex on 30/09/2024 - 11:57

      half a dozen goldfish will foul it in no time. Max would be 3 goldfish any more and you will spend your life cleaning it out until they start dying.

        well lit up too

        • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 30/09/2024 - 13:00

          And you won't even need a heater for your tropical fish!

    I had a Fluval one similar to this and the included pump would cause vibrations through the lid and 5-10 times a day I'd have to open it and close it again but the vibrations would come back, moved the betta to a new tank and returned it

    Any real world reviews on this? Looks very similar

    Also not a fan of your 8L tank.. that's cruel

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 30/09/2024 - 13:05

      I haven't experienced any vibrations in the ones I set up or complaints about them, we have a few of these and similar models.

      Also not a fan of your 8L tank.. that's cruel

      Its perfectly fine for shrimp which is what we push it as.
      But even for a Betta, I'd much rather someone take one of these with a proper filter than shove it in a filter less bowl. If someone wants a small tank that's what they will get, at least this way they have a filter with it. - We do advise in store though to upgrade whenever possible, but there are legit reasons a tank this size would work for you.

      • AngryAlfred on 30/09/2024 - 16:08

        Well anything is better than a filterless bowl, but even a betta should be in at least 20L. Advise whatever you want in store your own listing literally says "small fish" so you know what you're selling it as. A handful of shrimp maybe, but a pain to keep cycled

        • mattman on 30/09/2024 - 20:50

          I work in retail (nothing to do with fish) and I respect OP's take here.

          If he says no you can't have a ~10L tank, they just go to the next shop that will sell one (and probably just a plastic fantastic filterless death pit). I can only hope they have the conversation re size but ultimately customers can be stupid and just want what they want.

          At least this way it's a halfway reasonable tank other than size.

    If you want to run a sustained aquarium business you should do more to educate people about proper fish care. Pushing products out the door so people can have a bunch of goldfish in a tank too small might make you some easy money today, but those fish will suffer and die. If you properly educated people, maybe you'd gain long term customers who keep coming back rather than a one off purchase.

      I completely agree! I suggest looking at some of our previous posts/comments, you might become a fan! :)

      Looks like "Multiple tank syndrome" has caught another victim…

  • IVDyce on 30/09/2024 - 13:50

    I have very minimal fish keeping knowledge, but have been wanting to get a small ecosystem together totaling around 12-15 creatures. Depending on what is suitable to be in a take together but I would be looking at a couple of snails, shrimp, catfish/cory and 2-3 different types of fish like guppy's and danio. What sort of size tank would be suitable for this, and what are some good species to put together?

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 30/09/2024 - 14:30
      +1

      This tank would be fine for them (around 70L), only a few suggestions:

      1. Danio's like to school, I'd suggest getting at least 5 of the same species. Guppies less so so you can get a selection of them if you like.
      2. I suggest getting the shrimp snails and plants first, setting up the tank then getting the fish in a week or two. That will let the tank cycle. Corys are fine with everything you mentioned, and I suggest getting more than one of the same species as well since they also like to school.

      I'd suggest getting aquasoil as well for the plants but it is not needed, about 3kg would be good for this tank (https://sydney-aquascapes.com.au/products/nisso-custom-soil-…).

      Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • Grimage on 30/09/2024 - 15:08

    Can the filter be removed and 3rd party or canister be used?

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 30/09/2024 - 22:33

      Yes, just remove the pump the rest can sit there empty.

  • Joda on 30/09/2024 - 15:50

    I'm new to this so any recommendations appreciated

    Thinking of the 70L
    Tropical fish (but gets cold here in winter)
    Some snails, shrimp, fish, plants
    Filter needs to be quiet (is this one ok?)

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 01/10/2024 - 01:01
      +1

      The filter is fairly quiet, not super special quiet but you can't hear it over the water trickle really.

      If it gets cold just get a heater like this one: https://sydney-aquascapes.com.au/products/orca-aquarium-heat…
      Its a "set and forget" thing so really easy. It turns itself off when it reaches the desired temperature so not much to worry about.

      Snails shrimp and plants all great and will be great in this tank with this light. I'd suggest some aqua soil, and suggest getting fish a few weeks after everything else to let the tank "cycle".

  • Krodsorin on 30/09/2024 - 16:22

    Light source wouldn't be enough for algae growth to sustain shrimp

    • AssociatedBrandingo @ Sydney Aquascapes on 01/10/2024 - 01:01

      If you don't have many, and you have tones of other plants it would be enough for ~5 shrimp or so. They eat bacteria as well.

      If you have fish though they will get plenty of food from left over fish food and more.
