Description

Make a bold statement with the VIV Prestige Aquarium series, our collection of very large, high-end display tanks. Featuring impressive dimensions like 180x60x60, with an internal capacity of 590 L. These aren't just aquariums; they are magnificent living art installations designed to be the centrepiece of any luxurious home or commercial setting. Crafted from the thickest low-iron glass for astonishing clarity and boasting a truly rimless design, Prestige tanks offer an expansive, unobstructed view into a thriving aquatic ecosystem. They provide ample space for large community setups, specialised biotope tanks, or even a stunning collection of larger schooling fish (e.g., discus, angelfish), cichlids, or even a mixed reef system. The Prestige series caters to the discerning aquarist seeking the ultimate in size, quality, and visual impact.

Low-iron glass, as the name suggests, is manufactured using special silica sand with a significantly reduced iron content – often less than 0.01% ferric oxide, compared to around 0.1% in regular float glass. This intentional reduction of iron virtually eliminates the green tint.

How This Visually Affects the Perception of Aquarium Life:
The absence of the greenish tint in low-iron glass leads to a dramatic improvement in visual clarity and colour accuracy.

True-to-Life Colours: With low-iron glass, the vibrant reds of aquatic plants, the brilliant blues of certain fish, and the intricate patterns of corals are rendered with astonishing fidelity. You see your aquatic life exactly as it's meant to be seen, without any artificial colour distortion.

Enhanced Brightness and Light Transmission: Low-iron glass allows more light to pass through, resulting in a brighter and more luminous aquarium display. This can enhance the overall appeal of your aquascape and even benefit the growth of light-loving plants.

"Invisible" Glass Effect: Especially with rimless designs, low-iron glass creates an almost "invisible" barrier between you and your aquatic world. The edges of the glass, which would appear green in a standard tank, are virtually colourless, leading to a more immersive and aesthetically pleasing view. This is particularly noticeable in larger, thicker tanks where the green tint of regular glass would be much more pronounced.

In essence, choosing low-iron glass for your aquarium elevates the viewing experience from simply looking at a tank to truly experiencing an unadulterated, vivid window into a thriving underwater ecosystem.
