Lifegard CRYSTAL Beveled Edge Low Iron Bookshelf Aquarium - 16 Gallon
Panoramic Beauty in a Compact Profile: The Modern Bookshelf Tank
The Lifegard CRYSTAL 16 Gallon Bookshelf Aquarium is engineered for hobbyists who appreciate wide, cinematic perspectives. With its elongated "bookshelf" footprint, this rimless tank provides an expansive horizontal canvas perfect for creating lush iwagumi layouts, detailed riverbed scapes, or sprawling moss-covered driftwood designs.
Built using Ultra-Low Iron "Crystal" Glass, this aquarium offers 91% light transparency, virtually eliminating the distracting green tint found in standard glass. The signature 45° beveled edges are more than a design element; they are hand-polished to provide a larger surface area for silicone bonding, resulting in a cleaner, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing rimless finish.

The Lifegard CRYSTAL Advantage Lifegard Aquatics continues to lead the industry in high-end glass manufacturing.

The 16-gallon Bookshelf model is particularly versatile, fitting perfectly on sideboards, long desks, or actual bookshelves, bringing a piece of the natural world into any room with architectural elegance.
Setup Tip: To enhance the panoramic feel, use "low-profile" substrate sloping (higher in the back corners) to create a sense of depth in a shallow tank. Long, horizontal pieces of driftwood can also help accentuate the width of the aquarium.
