Classic Show Aquarium
The show aquarium is the classic fish tank used with hang-on filters, canister filters or under gravel filters.  Tenecor offers over 100 versions of this classic aquarium in a variety of sizes and shapes.
  • Standard sizes range from 70 gallons to over 1,300 gallons.
  • Standard dimensions range from 36" to 120" long; 15" to 48" wide and 16" to 60" high.
  • Custom sizes and configurations are also available,
Features of the standard Tenecor show aquarium:
  • Bent front corners in rectangular models 30" or lower in height and 72"x24" in length x width. Rectangle models larger than a 72" x 24" footprint (length x width) have square (bonded) corners. All Ultraquariums have square corners. Many of the other shapes Tenecor offers have bent front viewing panels, depending on the length of the viewing panel.
  • Choice of dark blue, black or clear background walls.
  • Tank access holes with lids; filter slot(s) along back side and corner holes for filter and submersible pump wiring are standard.
  • All square corners on the aquarium are flame polished to eliminate a sharp edge to avoid cuts.

The pictures below illustrate some of these standard features:

  •  Additional colored panels.
  •  Feeding hole(s) in the tank top.
  •  All Square corners.  
  •  Rounded (routered/polished) corners on a square corner tank.
  •  Recirculation systems.

Please call 815.405.7689 for more information, or to place a semi-custom aquarium order. 

The standard bent corner (at no additional charge) on most of our standard aquariums, less that 30" high, is very desirable in most "against a wall" placements of the fish tank. However,  the square corners option (on 72x24 footprint or smaller aquariums) will be used in the following circumstances:

  • The aquarium is an all around view tank and square corners all around are desired for a uniform look.
  • The end panel(s) of the aquarium are to be colored, with viewing through the longer front/back panels.
  • The tank is to be placed in a wall and square corners will facilitate the finish carpentry around the aquarium.
For Ultraquariums,  tanks with a 72x24 or larger footprint or tanks over 30" high , can have the normal square or mitered corners converted into bent corners or radius formed corners, by line bending or oven forming of the tank panel. However, this is always a custom application. An example of a bent body tank is shown below:
