Aqua-One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 230. A striking modern colour from Aqua Ones hugely successful aqua oak range of aquarium furniture sets. The 230 in the name refers to the tanks volume in this case 230 litres. The tank measures 123cm long, 78cm high and 48cm 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 98cm 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 230 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 3 working drawers. 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 230 Aquarium and cabinet set.
When you see the Aqua-One Oakstyle Industrial Concrete 230 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 230 Equipment
The Aqua-One Oakstyle 230 Industrial Concrete aquarium and cabinet set is supplied with lights, heater and filter. The filter supplied is the Ocellaris 850 external filter not a bad filter. 
With a flow rate of 850 litres per hour and a low power consumption of only 10 watts it’s got power for low cost. It also comes with all the media, hoses and fittings supplied too. The heater, a standard glass 300 watt aqua one heater nothing special but, reliable. The lighting is LED now most websites will copy and paste Aqua Ones description which is “Powerful LED lighting, featuring white & RGB LEDs, with separate blue LED function” Which we agree with apart from “powerful” bit. Sorry Aqua One. Remember we are a retail shop, and we interact with customers daily. Instore the truth also goes a long way; people enjoy an informed non pushy choice. We have an opinion we know the product and we talk to owners of the product. Online however, very different mostly and websites usually don’t know about the product they list. The light is ok for lighting up the tank an gives a nice colour, but high light dependant plant species will not fare well with this Low power LED light.
