Everything needed to get started is included in the box: the tank, a fully integrated filtration system, a DC powerhead with flow rate control, and a dimmable LED lamp. Setup is straightforward without sourcing components separately. At just under 9 inches wide and 11.5 inches tall, it fits comfortably on a desk, shelf, or countertop.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe tank body is built from ultra-clear ¼-inch acrylic with curved edges and pedestal legs. Acrylic is stronger and more impact-resistant than standard glass at this thickness, and the ultra-clear formulation provides better optical clarity than standard acrylic or glass, with less color distortion when viewing the tank from the front or sides. The curved-edge design eliminates sharp corners, which also makes the tank safer to handle during maintenance and water changes.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe lighting system uses 28 LEDs with separate white and blue channels, both independently dimmable via touch controls on the microprocessor base. The blue channel allows for a moonlight or actinic effect independent of the white channel. The overflow system and integrated filtration keep hardware hidden inside the tank's rear chamber, maintaining a clean front-facing appearance.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-clear ¼-inch acrylic construction is stronger and more impact-resistant than glass at this size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved edges and pedestal legs give the tank a finished, display-ready appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28-LED dimmable lamp with separate white and blue channels controlled via touch-pad microprocessor base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully integrated filtration system housed inside the tank's rear chamber keeps equipment out of the display area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC powerhead with adjustable flow rate control allows flow to be dialed in for shrimp or Betta fish requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverflow system included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreshwater shrimp keepers who want a clean, display-quality tank with built-in filtration sized appropriately for shrimp bioloads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetta fish setups where a compact, attractive single-fish aquarium is the priority.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesktop or tabletop placements where a self-contained all-in-one unit is preferred over sourcing separate tank, filter, and light components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHobbyists setting up their first small freshwater aquarium who want everything included in one package.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePro Tips:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeep the flow rate low for shrimp.\u003c\/strong\u003e The DC powerhead's adjustable flow control is one of the IQ5's most useful features for shrimp keepers. Freshwater shrimp, particularly Neocaridina and Caridina species, prefer gentle flow. Setting the pump to its lowest effective flow rate reduces stress on shrimp and prevents small juveniles from being drawn into the intake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse the blue channel independently for a nighttime effect. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe separate white and blue LED channels let the white light be turned off while the blue remains on at low intensity. This creates a moonlight effect that is easier on fish and shrimp in the evening and gives the tank a visually striking appearance after dark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcrylic scratches more easily than glass, so use the included cleaning cloth.\u003c\/strong\u003e The ultra-clear acrylic provides excellent optical clarity, but it is more susceptible to fine scratches from abrasive cleaning tools than glass. Using the Dymax IQ Synthetic Cleaning Cloth rather than a standard sponge or pad is the most practical way to maintain optical clarity over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnline exclusive: this item is ordered in for you and is usually ready within a few business days.
