Pure Clarity. Elevated Contrast. Built to Endure.

Every AF Aquarium is a masterwork of engineering and visual refinement—crafted with ultra-clear Pilkington Optiwhite™ glass, renowned for its unparalleled transparency and color fidelity. Unlike standard glass, this low-iron paneling eliminates distortion, delivering a pristine, immersive view of your reef system with unmatched clarity.

A deep black overflow, bottom, and rear panel create dramatic contrast—perfect for showcasing vivid corals and capturing breathtaking photography.

Modern Craftsmanship. Marine-Grade Performance.

The AF Aquarium Cabinet is more than a stand—it’s a precision-engineered foundation for your marine masterpiece. Constructed from marine-grade, pressure-treated yacht plywood, each cabinet is assembled by Aquaforest to guarantee long-term strength, stability, and visual harmony. Certified with the prestigious B31 safety rating, it offers unmatched peace of mind and durability up to 10x greater than conventional cabinetry.

Laser-finished external panels deliver a flawless look with 20-year UV resistance—no fading, warping, or compromise. Easily refresh the cabinet’s appearance without ever moving your aquarium. Every hinge is crafted from premium Japanese stainless steel, engineered to resist corrosion from salt spray and chemical residue.

Precision Flow. Unmatched Reliability.

Aquaforest’s advanced plumbing system is designed for those who demand silent performance, effortless control, and absolute peace of mind. Built for the complexities of modern reefkeeping, it features oversized solid-core piping for greater system capacity and enhanced filtration efficiency—no gluing required.

A premium European-made gate valve offers precise, intuitive water level adjustments, while the integrated check valve protects your system from backflow during pump failure or power outages. Every component is built for reliability, from the near-silent downflow to the self-leveling design that ensures smooth, uninterrupted circulation.

With this plumbing system, safety isn’t an add-on—it’s built in. From fast, frustration-free installation to whisper-quiet operation, it’s the kind of security only true marine expertise can deliver.

Refined Function. Silent Strength.

At the heart of your filtration system lies a precision-engineered solid PVC sump, mounted atop vibration-dampening foam for exceptional stability and near-silent performance. Designed with both durability and elegance in mind, the laser-finished PVC structure offers unmatched water-tightness and resilience, while seamlessly complementing your modern aquatic setup.

Cascading filtration chambers provide intuitive, modular functionality—each fitted with removable filter socks that can be easily upgraded to Aquaforest media reactors. Thoughtful features like integrated water level markings and silencer disks on the overflow ensure effortless equipment tuning and whisper-quiet flow.

This sump doesn’t just complete your system—it elevates it. Clean, quiet, and cleverly designed for discerning reefkeepers who expect nothing less than flawless operation.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
