16 Gallon Bookshelf Aquarium

Lifegard Aquatics 16 Gallon Long Bookshelf Aquarium – A Wide Display for Great Viewing

  The LIFEGARD® 16 Gallon Bookshelf Aquarium is a head-turner. This tank is the perfect centerpiece for your aquatic setup complete with clear views, and modern, sleek style.

Why This  BookShelf Aquarium Stands Out

When it comes to aquariums, clearness and clarity matters. Nobody wants to see their fish swimming behind a greenish tint or poorly glued edges. That’s where this LIFEGARD® aquarium shines.

• Ultra-Clear Glass: No foggy views here. The low-iron glass lets be displayed well with lifelike colors and no glare.
• Polished Edges: Beveled-out and smooth edges give it a refined finish—with no rough spots to ruin the view.
• Invisible Joints: Thanks to the German-engineered glue on each edge, the seams are almost invisible

Whether you’re creating a lush aquascape or a simple fish haven, the clear glass makes every detail pop.

Sleek and Space-Saving with the Lifegard Bookshelf Aquarium

This isn’t a bulky tank that dominates your space. The reason for the bookshelf name is that it is narrow, long, and perfect for shelves, countertops, and desks for placement.

• Capacity: 16 gallons
• Dimensions:
  • Length: 33.85"
  • Width: 9.84"
  • Height: 11.02"
• Glass Thickness: 6mm, providing durability without excess bulk.

It’s the ideal tank for anyone working with limited space but big ideas.

Built for Aquascapers and Hobbyists

If you’ve been dabbling in aquascaping or want to create a minimalist fish setup, this tank is a winner.

• Perfect for Planted Tanks: The rimless design and clean glass showcase every detail of your plants and hardscape.
• Great for Shrimp or SmallFish: Smaller fish and shrimp fit perfectly in this setup.
• Modern Appeal: The sleek, rimless design blends seamlessly into any home or office décor.
