Your tank, photographed
Pick a world above and set the size — the glass, water and life update live.
Design a tank that
actually works.
Real glass, flow, light and load maths — sized for the heat and the water where you live. Nothing dumbed down; every number shows its working.
{{ d.selType }} world
Your world sets sensible starting temperatures, size, flow and chemistry — change anything below.
Footprint & glass
PROGlass, bracing & floor load
Water & climate
Your city sets a starting point for tap-water hardness and the indoor heat we design around.
Filtration & flow
Turnover is tank volumes cycled per hour. Pumps lose flow to height and plumbing, so we size the rated figure up.
Water flows mechanical → biological → chemical. Solids first protect everything downstream.

Stocking
Bioload is a relative index, not a promise — it weighs adult size and waste against your volume and turnover. Not a substitute for a cycled tank and test kit.

Power resilience
PROWhen the mains drops in this region, your tank has only hours of dissolved O₂. Keep gas exchange and temperature going first — lights can stay off for days.
Automation
PROAutomation for this build — essentials first, then the nice-to-haves. Each one fires from what you’ve actually specced.
