The Swell Amazon 80cm Aquarium is a freshwater fish tank designed for both beginner aquarists and experienced hobbyists. Its sleek and stylish design gives it a modern look that'll complement any living space, and it comes with all the equipment you'll need to get started, including a built-in, multi-layered filtration system, an energy-efficient LED light, a heater, and more.
This complete fish tank kit also comes with a dedicated cabinet that offers both strong and stable support and a large amount of storage space for additional external filters, aquarium cleaning kits, fish food, and other fishkeeping essentials. The cabinet's design is also in keeping with the rest of the aquarium, making for a beautiful showpiece that you can show off to your family and friends.
The Swell Amazon 80cm Aquarium is packed with equipment to get you started on your fishkeeping journey. Included in this kit are the following items:
This Swell Amazon 80cm Aquarium and dedicated cabinet is available in two colours: black and white. These black and white finishes are single-tone matte finishes that add a real contemporary feel to the aquarium.
Yes, this Swell Amazon 80cm Aquarium is very easy to set up and maintain. Before you begin assembly, make sure that you've picked a flat and level area to place your aquarium - once you've added water its going to get very heavy and nigh on impossible to move!
After you've found a suitable spot, build your cabinet using the instructions provided and place your aquarium on top of it.
That done, you can then place your LED light into the hood and the heater into the built-in filter compartment in the back corner of your aquarium. Do not turn your filter and heater on until you have filled the aquarium with water, both pieces of equipment require a tank full of water to function properly. If you're planning to add sand, gravel, decorations and/or plants, it's best to do this prior to adding water.
Once your aquarium is up and running, it's time to let it cycle - be sure to check out our aquarium set-up help guide to learn more about this essential process. After that, it's all about staying on top of maintenance. This is made easy thanks to the aquarium's removable lid that gives you quick and easy access to its interior for all kinds of tasks, from water changes to algae scraping.
This Swell Amazon 80cm Aquarium is a large fish tank, so you have a lot of choices when it comes to choosing what kind of fish you'd like to keep. Many species of community fish, like Tetras, Guppies, Platies, Mollies, Rams, Danios and Gouramis, would really thrive in a fish tank of this size and shape.
This aquarium is named after the Amazon River, the largest river in the world by volume. This 6,400km-long river flows through many countries in South America and is home to more than 5,600 species of fish! Many of these species are popular in the aquarium trade, like Corydoras, Tetras, Angelfish and Rams.
If you're looking for some inspiration, why not build an aquarium with these fish that simulates their natural habitat? The Amazon is a largely sand-bottomed river that contains lots of wood, tall plants and leaf litter. You can find all these natural products right here on our site!
This Swell Amazon 80cm Aquarium is great as it comes with everything you'll need to get started. That said, if you want to make your underwater world look as beautiful as possible, then you'll want to pick up some substrate, hardscape, plants, and aquarium decor. You may also want to stock up on some extra fish food, dechlorinator and filter media for that time when your supplies from this complete aquarium kit eventually run out.
