If you love the look of a tropical fish tank as many do, but you are leery of all the maintenance required and the possibility of ending up with a pile of expensive dead fish, you should take a look at the AquaVista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium.

Many people may look at it and think it is some kind of flat screen TV with an animated screensaver on it – it looks so perfect. These tanks are made from shatterproof polycarbonate, the front is clear as glass and you can look into the tank without any distortion. They also have state of the art control systems, so they are virtually maintenance free.

An LCD display lets you know that everything is fine in the tank – that oxygen levels are correct, the temperature is just right and the filtration system is running at optimum levels. As soon as something is wrong, it will let you know.

They are beautifully lit, making your little tiddlers look their best in the daylight and even better at night.

Not satisfied with making these excellent aquariums, the manufacturer also thought about how the aquarium would look in your room. They offer a choice of nine different colored surrounds so you can match your tank to your décor perfectly.

At around $300 these aquariums are a great deal, they take up much less space than old-fashioned aquariums on stands and there’s no having to look at an ugly old pump and yards of wires.

If you have a business, these make great focal points for waiting rooms and reception areas and many doctors and dentists are using them in their waiting rooms as an aquarium has such a calming effect.

The AquaVista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium also makes a great gift, especially for a young person who enjoys tropical fish, or an elderly person who lives alone. Soon all those fish will have names and become a part of the family!

Keeping tropical fish is an increasingly popular pastime, and with the advent of these wonderful new aquariums, I am sure there will be increased interest in this hobby.

Once you have mounted your new AquaVista 500 aquarium securely onto the wall, there’s very little else left to do but add water, fish and sit back and relax. There is very little other assembly to do when you purchase your new wall mounted aquarium.

The AquaVista 500 Wall Mounted Aquarium weighs 77lbs when full and measures 26″ x 26″ x 4.3″ deep – so it takes up about as much room as a picture would hanging on the wall.

Voltage is 110v/60Hz within the US, it uses a T4-13W light bulb and ballast and consumes 125 watts total. The filtration system cleans 114 gallons per hour and maintenance should take less than 15 minutes a month!

It can be used for either freshwater fish or can be set up as a saltwater system if you prefer.

An AquaVista 500 wall mounted aquarium certainly beats other old-fashioned systems easily, and if the 500 is not large enough, take a look at the huge choice of larger aquariums this company has to offer.
