Aqua One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 110. A striking modern colour from Aqua Ones hugely successful aqua oak range of aquarium furniture sets. The 110 in the name refers to the tanks volume in this case 110 litres, that’s usable volume. The tank measures 63cm long, 55cm high and 38cm front to back. It has all glass lids, and the centre piece of glass lifts out for maintenance and to allow the input of rocks, roots, and other décor. Please note that the opening does sometime prevent the placement of large piece of decoration or ornaments. The way that the glass covers fit reduces aquarium access to 45cm x 20cm approx. So, plan ahead if you have your eye on a large piece of wood. You now have the measurements so you can check, or you can always get the saw out.
The Aqua One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 110 cabinet.
The Industrial Concrete cabinet and tank trim finished in a colour that Aqua One describe as in the name “Industrial Concrete “. The cabinet comes flat packed but, is an easy build with good instructions. As you can see from the image the cabinet features a working drawer. Which sets it apart from most other fish tank cabinets and we think it looks great. The handles feature a modern design, but the doors and drawers could easily be fitted with traditional handles if you wished.
Top Tip when building the cabinet
Just watch that you put the bottom rail the correct way around. You will kick yourself when it’s all done, and you stand back to admire your work and spot your mistake. Also, when fitting the top trim fit the front first, use the sides to centre but, stick them on last. If the sides are slightly proud the long front piece will stick on but may not stay on as at the ends it cannot stick.
Aqua One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 110 Aquarium and cabinet set.
When you see the Aqua One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 110 in the flesh it looks quite impressive. It certainly does not reflect the cheap price you pay for it visually. It looks well-made and the choice of panel with some texture gives it a quality feel too.
Aqua One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 110 Equipment
The aquarium set comes complete with equipment and whilst the products supplied are functional, they are basic. The filter supplied is a Moray 700 and it is not the best but, it works ok. It is however fiddly to maintain and also does little for the looks of this otherwise handsome set. We find most people instore upgrade to a better filter usually an external. This tank deserves an external filter, better at its job and can be tidily tucked away in the cabinet.
The heater nothing wrong here, good reliable heater. The light is good enough to illuminate the Aqua One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete and, has a nice colour so will be fine for fish and ornaments. If, however you are planning a planted aquarium you will need to upgrade.
It must be said that equipment aside the Aqua One Oak Style 110 aquarium well-made and it is worth the money with no equipment. So, consider the equipment as enough to get you started and free. The filter does work it is just ugly and not so easy to clean and maintain. The light though basic is just as good as lights supplied with most other aquariums.
Why supply the Aqua Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 110 with such basic equipment
The aquarium market is highly competitive and top-notch equipment makes the aquarium set look expensive against others with basic kit. This is not so much of a problem instore as this can be discussed but for online the way that the world is heading it is difficult to get across.
Equipment upgrade for the Aqua One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 110
We would recommend either an Aqua One Ocellaris 850 or a Eheim EccoPro 130 External for this aquarium. For a planted set up we would recommend the Fluval Plant 3.0 LED or if you want to grow any plant even the difficult ones Then go for the AI Prime 16HD Freshwater LED Light White.
