WIO AquaVistas Super Shallow — ultra-low aquariums designed to highlight the emerged zone, reflections, and artistic above-water layouts.

Quantity

WIO AquaVistas Super Shallow are aquariums created to blur the boundary between land and water. With their extra-wide, ultra-low proportions, they transform the emerged area into the main stage, where mosses, ferns, and terrestrial plants thrive just above the surface while aquatic life flows gently below.

The panoramic, side-top view opens new creative possibilities: a floating island, a flooded meadow, or a minimalist stone garden that extends beyond the waterline. Super Shallow is a favorite format for aquascapers who love experimenting with reflections and air–water transitions, turning their layouts into living art pieces.

Handcrafted in Spain from extra-optic, low-iron glass, each tank features invisible seams and clean edges for seamless clarity. An integrated 2 cm cushion bonded to the base ensures stability and discreet protection.

Best for aquascapers who want to showcase emerged plants, play with reflections, and create contest-level layouts where air and water merge as one.

Filtration: Ensure smooth surface circulation without breaking reflections.

Substrate: Spread thin layers or create gentle slopes for natural flow.

Hardscape: Use stones and driftwood that break the waterline for dramatic effect.

Planting: Combine submerged species with moss, ferns, and terrestrials above water.

Fill & Start: Add water slowly over a plate; activate filter and CO₂.

Cycle: Perform frequent water changes during first weeks; stabilize system.

Livestock: Add shrimp or fish only after cycling is complete.

Pro Tip: Tilt hardscape and plants toward the viewer to maximize perspective in ultra-low tanks.
Does Super Shallow Pro require less investment and maintenance than other tanks?
Yes. Thanks to their low volume and wide footprint, Super Shallow tanks demand lighter filtration, reduced water changes, and less equipment investment—while visually appearing as large as a Classic. This makes them budget-friendly, maintenance-friendly while still delivering beauty and impact.

What makes Super Shallow different from Shallow?
Super Shallow has a much lower height, designed specifically to highlight the emerged zone and waterline reflections.

Is the mat included?
Yes. A 2 cm base cushion is permanently bonded to the glass.

Is it safe for shrimp, plants, and fish?
Yes, all materials are inert and aquarium-safe.

What sizes are available?
– 30SF — 30×20×10 cm | 4 mm glass | 6 L
– 45SF — 45×25×12 cm | 5 mm glass | 13 L
– 60SF — 60×30×14 cm | 5 mm glass | 23 L

How much substrate do I need for a 60SF?
For 1–2 cm depth across the base, approx. 2–3 kg. For sloped or raised areas, plan 4–5 kg.

Any setup tip?
Play with plants that grow above water and use lighting angles to maximize surface reflections.
