Product overview
The Aqua One ARC is a desktop glass aquarium with a curved front, a touch-dimmable LED, and a filter hidden in a rear chamber. The display stays clear of hang-on gear.
It runs as coldwater out of the box. Add an internal glass heater (sold separately) if you want tropical fish or plants.
