Christmas is just around the corner. But there’s still time to treat your loved ones (or yourself, we won’t judge you) to the perfect aquatic gift. With a week left to go, here are our five top recommended Christmas gifts for fish lovers.

1. Fluval Bluetooth fish tank light

Fluval’s LED aquarium lights make great gifts for fish lovers and come in several sizes to fit most aquariums. These advanced fish tank light systems use Bluetooth FluvalSmart App technology, which allows you to customise your fish tank light from your mobile devices.

Features of the Fluval aquarium light range include:

A programmable 24-hour light cycle with sunrise, mid-day, sunset, and night settings.
Six band waves for full spectrum results.
Independent colour control.
Optional preset habitat light configurations.

Some of the Bluetooth fish tank lights in this range also come with:

Weather effects, like stormy lighting, cloud cover, and other seasonal systems to recreate oceanic fish habitats.
An industry-leading IP67 waterproof rating, which means you can mount the aquarium light directly above the water surface without having to worry about water damage to the light.
A large, simple ‘touch’ switch (instead of a flick switch), which offers stable control.
Excellent coverage: each LED casts 120° of illumination to ensure uniform lighting and avoid dead spots.
A three-year warranty.

LED fish tank lights are also much more energy-efficient than their T5 and T8 fluorescent tube predecessors, which makes these lighting systems a great upgrade option for fish lovers.

2. AquaEl nano aquarium

Get into shrimp breeding with a nano aquarium, an ideal gift for fish lover friends or family members. We stock these fully equipped Shrimp Set Day and Night aquariums in three sizes: 10 litres, 20 litres, and 30 litres.

You can keep shrimp, small fish, and plants in a nano aquarium. This one comes with a turbo mini filter and a smart heating system, which adjusts the heating power to the surrounding conditions.

Each nano aquarium also comes with three LED lighting modes, one to recreate daybreak light, one to recreate general daylight, and one to recreate night-time light. These lighting modes recreate underwater habitats to create a natural environment for your fish and shrimp.

3. Funky aquarium ornaments

Adorning your tank with one or two ornaments can brighten up your aquascape and update your fish tank theme. Choose from our wide range of aquarium ornaments and enjoy watching your fish interact with rock sculptures, TV-inspired figurines, caves, tunnels, and shipwrecks.

Here are a few aquarium accessories and ornaments to inspire you:

With around 100 aquarium ornaments to choose from, we stock something for everyone.

4. A Ciano starter fish tank

Know someone who’s interested in buying their first fish? The compact Ciano all-in-one fish tank is the perfect starter kit for beginner hobbyists. This 17-litre aquarium comes with:

A hinged hood for easy access.
A low-voltage LED lighting system.
A high-performance filtration system and inner filter to keep your water clear for as long as possible.
A water treatment to prepare your aquarium water for new fish.

This sleek starter fish tank has always been popular with our customers and makes a wonderful aquarium gift for those who are ready to buy their first fish.

5. Artificial coral

Artificial coral is a great way to give your fish tank that tropical, under-the-sea look, making it one of our top gifts for fish lovers. Plus, it’s easy to clean with a quick scrub under running water. We stock coral in bright red, orange, green, purple, and pink to add a splash of colour to your aquarium.

Top six aquarium gifts for fish tank lovers on Father’s Day

Warehouse Aquatics — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:00:34 +0000

Father’s Day is just around the corner, so we’ve put together our top six aquarium gifts for all fish-loving dads. Whether your dad’s a seasoned fishkeeper or he’s just starting out with fish, we’ve got ideas for you.

So, without further ado, here you go: six of the best aquarium gifts for Father’s Day.

1. A Juwel aquarium background poster

Fish tank background posters are great aquarium gifts. Especially for dads who want to give their fish an awesome backdrop. They’re also great gifts for dads who need to hide ugly cables in their fish tanks. But that’s another story.

Either way, an aquarium background can transform a fish tank. These slot-in aquarium background posters will transport your dad’s fish to another world. We stock a range of designs to suit different themes, including rocky scenes, water effects, and vegetation.

We sell aquarium background posters in different sizes, and Dad can cut the posters to size. Some are even double-sided, so he can chop and change as he likes.

2. Water conditioning filter balls

Most fish-loving dads want to keep their aquarium water crystal clear. And Evolution Aqua Pure Aquarium Water Conditioning Filter Balls will make this much easier. These filter balls contain millions of live bacteria, enzymes, and organic matter that break down ammonia and nitrate in tank water to give water its ultra-clear quality.

Dad can add a couple of these balls per 25 litres of water to his fish tank each week to keep the water healthy. Each pot contains around 50 balls.

3. An automatic fish feeder

Your dad will never forget to feed his fish again if you treat him (well, his fish) to a Juwel EasyFeed Automatic Feeder. This handy feeder is also a great aquarium gift for dads who travel a lot and aren’t always at home to feed the fish.

The automatic fish feeder is suitable for any Juwel aquarium, and your dad can use it to serve flake, pellet, and tablet food. The feeder is easy to install and ready for immediate use.

The Juwel EasyFeed has the capacity to serve food for approximately 30 days (or 60 feedings). And, if the standard automatic feeder isn’t big enough for your dad’s tank, its big brother, the Juwel SmartFeed 2.0, could be the perfect fit.

4. An aquarium syphon

The least fun, least glamorous part of fishkeeping is cleaning the fish tank. But what if you could make this easier for Dad?

Introducing our fourth aquarium gift idea: a Python No Spill Clean-and-Fill Aquarium Syphon. Get your dad one of these handy devices, and he won’t need jugs and buckets to clean his fish tank again. No more spills. Instead, Dad can use the syphon to remove the old fish tank water, clean the gravel, and refill the tank.

Bonus Tip

You can see how aquarium syphons work in Python’s how-to-use video.

We sell aquarium syphons in three lengths: 25 foot (7.5m), 50 foot (15m) and 100 foot (30m). We also offer a variety of low-price gravel cleaners if this top-of-the-range syphon is out of budget.

5. Aquarium ornaments

There are infinite ways to decorate a fish tank with aquarium accessories. And one of the easiest ways to stamp dad’s personality on his aquarium is to buy him a fish tank ornament.

From vintage cars and aircrafts to mini Stonehenges, and rock displays, you’ll find the perfect fish tank ornament for dad in our collection. We also supply artificial corals; skulls, skeletons, and fossils; trees, plants, and roots; vehicles; starfish; mini amphitheatres; air-action clams; castles; telephone boxes; television character figures; space dogs; animals; planet earths; barrels; and colour balls.

6. A beginner fish tank

Finally, if your dad’s been thinking about buying a fish tank, now is the perfect time to help him take the first step. Our recommended beginner tanks cost just £62.99 and come in both white and black.

Your dad will also have our blog to refer back to as he sets up his tank and enjoys the simple pleasures of fish-keeping.
