## Description

Tetra Glass Aquarium 55 gal makes a beautiful home for your fish. This 55-gallon rectangular glass tank is perfect for pairing with Tetra filtration, lighting and water care products (sold separately). Customize your tank with assorted Tetra décor and accessories. Approximate dimensions 48 inches x 13 inches x 20 inches. Small aquariums are a great way to get started in the freshwater fishkeeping hobby, and with any new hobby involving living creatures, it is always best to learn as much as you can. When buying fish, ask your retailer for guidance in choosing the right fish for your size aquarium. Since 1951, Tetra has developed the world’s most comprehensive body of fish food knowledge, and fishkeeping enthusiasts have looked to the brand for products and solutions that add ease and beauty to their home. Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just starting out, Tetra has everything you need – from a large variety of quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and decor.

Review: Large aquarium is good for what I bought it for. - Works well for what I got it for (Two hermit crabs). Came with a tiny bit of fish food and a guided manual, but alas, I don't intend to house fish for a while (not until I clean my office, anyways!). This came in its own box and had a lot of foam to hold the corners. It was heavy inside the box, but outside the box it was somewhat more manageable. It's just getting it out of the box that was my biggest problem, although I was trying to be quiet as a mouse doing so. It's definitely large, large enough for 6+ inches of sand-coconut substrate mix AND decor. The price was steep, and I'd have probably been better off searching for hand-me-downs, but I wanted something clean. So far, it does not leak and keeps humidity in well when coupled with a glass lid. BTW, it doesn't come with a lid - I bought my glass lid seperately. Looks clean without any marks and is very sturdy.
Review: Very nice tank - I havent filled it all the way yet but so far its a very nice tank and a good size. I now know i would prefer a wider tank, not the tanks fault as this is my first aquarium, but the 12 inches wide is a little smaller than id like, perhaps 16-18" would be better, but again no fault to this aquarium. I like it and would buy again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this tank come with a lid?**
A: No, this is a tank only, as pictured.

**Q: can anyone give me the name or link of a lid that would fit the 55 gallon tank?**
A: The Marineland LED Aquarium Hood and the Tetra LED Aquarium Hood in the 24 x 12 size will both fit this tank. You will need two of them. If you do not want the plastic full hood style, then the Marineland/Perfecto Glass Canopy in the 48 x 12 size will fit it and you can purchase lights separately, per your actual requirements. I.E. planted tank needs lighting that is 6500 k. For more help, call 1-800-526-0650.

**Q: does this have black silicone? What are the exact dimensions? I'm looking to buy a cabinet that is 47 3/4 inch wide, will that fit?**
A: Black silicone, and the dimensions are 48-15/32 L X 12-27/32 W X 20-13/16 H inches.

**Q: Can a screen for the top be purchased of this?**
A: Yes. I purchased one here on Amazon. Just check measurements.
