Tanks: Innovative Technology

Tecniplast tanks are made within our factory to meet our standards for quality, design, and function.

Tank sizes available: 1.1L*, 3.5L* and 8.0L (* with optional divider)
Innovative tank color & shape with Clean Tank Technology
Entire tank and lid molded in blue – reduces the growth of algae at tank level
V-channel bottom, rounded corners, sloped from front to back – funnels debris to suction point of the siphon for ultimate cleaning ability
Tanks and all components autoclavable and available in either FDA approved polycarbonate or polysulfone

Siphon Cleaning at Tank Level

Patented Siphon System at tank level provides excellent debris removal.

By utilizing our active siphon system along with the special tank shape and color, the maintenance required is significantly reduced compared to inefficient baffle systems utilized in other tanks.

NEW 2.4L TANK: same space of two 1,1l tanks on the same row!

It can be used for:

isolating single adult fish
housing adult fish (up to 24 fish at 10 fish/L)
rearing fry and juvenile fish

IMPROVE RESEARCH POSSIBILITIES: split the tank into compartments using from one up to three dividers; moreover, dedicated plastic runners are usefull for environmental enrichment.

TRITONE CAN EASILY FEED 2.4L TANK EVEN WITH ALL DIVIDERS IN: the lid features 4 feeding holes.

Z-PARK: the new housing tank which improves Zebrafish welfare.

Z-PARK is the new complementary approach to the housing of adult Zebrafish in larger groups.

Zebrafish is a schooling fish which can show aggressive behaviours if housed in small numbers: furthermore group housed zebrafish showed a preference for gravel substrate (Reference link)
Z-PARK provides a gravel bottom background for environmental enrichment.
Z-PARK allows the efficient spawning by means of a dedicated platform, without the need of removing fish.

Increased volume: 16l
Increased width: 68 cm
Increased surface area: 1600 cm
Increased fish density: up to 150-200 adult fish
