Aquatop AquaFin 5-Gallon Desktop Aquarium Kit — Curved Glass, Hidden Filtration, LED Light

Meet the AquaFin 5-Gallon Desktop Aquarium Kit (AQF-05), Aquatop's all-in-one answer to modern small-space aquascaping. Its curved panoramic glass profile opens up a distraction-free, wraparound view of your tank, while a rear filtration chamber keeps all the equipment — pump, bio media, and filter pad — completely out of sight. The result is a clean, gallery-worthy centerpiece that looks as good on a desk or countertop as it does in an office lobby.

Inside the rear chamber, a 3-stage filtration system does the heavy lifting: a bottom box and middle box hold biological media to establish a healthy bacterial colony, while a top box holds a replaceable filter pad for mechanical filtration. A submersible pump keeps water circulating through all three stages continuously.

Up top, a 10-watt dual COB LED spotlight (3000K warm + 6500K white) mounts to the rear glass on an adjustable gooseneck arm, so light lands exactly where your plants need it. Every AquaFin kit ships complete — tank, filtration boxes, filter pad, bio media, pump, LED light, and power components — so there's nothing extra to source before you fill it with water.

Best suited for desktops, counters, and smaller spaces, the AQF-05 is backed by Aquatop's 1-year limited warranty and designed for indoor use only.

Features

•     CURVED PANORAMIC GLASS – A seamless peninsula-style profile delivers a wraparound, distraction-free view of the aquascape from front and both ends.

•     TRUE ALL-IN-ONE KIT – Includes the tank, filtration boxes, filter pad, bio media, pump, LED light, and power components; nothing else to buy to get started.

Aquarium tank, filtration boxes, filter pad, biological media, pump, LED light, and power components.

Setup & Care Overview

•     Setup: Place the tank on a level, stable surface, rinse all components, install the filtration boxes (bio media bottom and middle, filter pad on top) and pump, fill with water, then power on.

•     Cycling: Run the system for 28 days to establish beneficial bacteria before introducing fish, then add livestock gradually.

•     Maintenance: Perform a 25% partial water change weekly; replace the filter pad monthly with an Aquatop AquaFin Replacement Filter Pad (AQF-RFP); rinse bio media in aquarium water only and avoid replacing it unless necessary.

•     Electrical safety: Indoor use only. Use a grounded GFCI outlet, maintain a drip loop, and unplug before performing maintenance.

Compatible Accessories (sold separately)

•     AQF-RFP – AquaFin Replacement Filter Pad (3-pack). Fits all AquaFin tanks; recommended monthly replacement.

•     FZ-PM3 – Forza Premium Media Pouches. Optional filtration boost; place in the middle or bottom box without removing existing bio media.

•     PCS-25W – Aquatop Pisces 25-Watt Preset Heater. Ideal for the AQF-05 to maintain a stable 78°F for tropical species; heater not included with the kit and must be placed in the main tank, never in the filter or pump chamber.
