step 2 / 14
Type of aquarium
Select the type of aquarium you wish to calculate.
Rimless aquarium: An open aquarium on the top without any reinforcement on the top. It is recommended to polish all glass edges by machine (Option).
Aquarium with light cover: a light strip on the top with optional cover plates. Important tip! Enter the total height in the calculation tool, 10 cm will automatically go off because of the light cover (70 cm height -> 60 cm water level). The calculation program will automatically calculate the price for any length and width strips.
Full glass aquarium: only the bare container with optional options (no light strip). The water level will be +/- 4 to 5 cm lower than the completed total height. The calculation program will automatically calculate the price for any length and width strips.
Turtle aquarium: A turtle aquarium can also be put together with this tool. A light strip at the top with possibly cover plates. Important tip! Enter the total height in the calculation tool, 10 cm will automatically go off because of the light cover (70 cm height -> 60 cm glass height). The water level of the turtle aquarium is half of the entered height.

Do you want cover plates on the aquarium (always aluminium)?
This is standard made of aluminium, the cover plates can be provided in several parts. As standard we provide PVC ventilation grids in the cover plates for passive ventilation.
Would you like to cover the aquarium?
Prevent condensation and place a glass cover on the aquarium. Fish cannot stand out either.
Non-sliding cover panes: these glass cover panes lie on the length strips.
Sliding cover plates: We make a sliding profile on both sides and the windows in two parts, so that they can slide over each other in the profile.

step 3 / 14
Aquarium dimensions
Enter the desired dimensions of the aquarium.
With this calculation tool you can calculate aquariums as follows:
Length -> Min. 20 cm - 321 Max. cm
Width -> Min. 20 cm - 105 Max. cm
Height -> Min. 20 cm - 105 Max. cm
If you would like to calculate larger aquariums, we ask you to contact us.
The calculation program automatically takes into account any necessary reinforcements in the aquarium. Glass thicknesses are also automatically adjusted (4mm - 19mm).
Be careful with door openings, before you want to order the aquarium, we certainly recommend that you measure all door openings first so that this does not cause a problem when placing the aquarium.
step 4 / 14
Sharpen
Do you want all pieces of glass in the aquarium to be cut by machine?
As standard, the vertical sides of the aquarium are nicely machine-ground and polished. There is also the possibility that you can remove the top and possibly. to have the length and width of the strips cut by machine. Aesthetically, machine grinding is particularly beautiful. When maintaining the aquarium, you will not be bothered by the rough edges of the glass.
step 5 / 14
Painting windows
Indicate which panes you prefer in a different color (choice black blue).
Give the aquarium a calm tone on the back or sides so that the “decor” comes into its own even better in the aquarium. Black painting is highly recommended for aquariums that are placed against a wall. In the past we have also worked a lot with 3D backgrounds, but that is permanent, that is why we always recommend to focus the “core” of the interior as true to nature as possible, beautiful foreground plants, background plants and or beautiful pieces of wood or stones.

step 6 / 14
optiwhite panes
Indicate which panes must be made of extra clear glass.
By default we use "Float" glass. This glass contains certain metals, as soon as the glass becomes thicker than 10 mm it will appear "greener".
With freshwater aquarium this is nice because you make a green planting in the aquarium.
With a seawater aquarium we recommend using special clear glass on the visible sides, because corals and fish will look better with this type of glass. We call this option "OptiWhite" glass, and can be selected below.
step 7 / 14
filter
Select the filter system you want to apply in the aquarium.
There are various filter systems.
span> Biological filter: a built-in internal filter in the aquarium (these are also custom-made according to the size of the aquarium) . Techniques not yet included.
External filter , an easy filter where all technology and filter material are compactly built in. Please note that the total height of the aquarium + furniture may not exceed 160 cm (the pump is not powerful enough).
Aqualife biologist is and remains the best option. With a biologist you can use almost +/- 20 to 40 times as much filter material instead of an internal filter or external filter. Thanks to the partitions in the biologist, you have 3 filter chambers.
sump: The solution for a well-functioning seawater aquarium. Extra buffer volume, room for all technology. We automatically calculate the length, width and height for this filter system. You can choose which type of sump you wish to purchase.
Internal sump: We build a compact filter chamber (technology not yet included) in the aquarium. This is only for smaller aquariums.
Note: not all options are available based on your previous choices.

Internal sump
Would you like a drying chamber in the aquarium (including borehole)?
A drying chamber (+ - 15 * 15 * height aquarium in cm) is a waterproof tube that we glue in the aquarium according to your wishes. Through the drying room you can feed all electricity and filtration pipes. A bore (60 mm) is provided in the bottom of the glass.
Select where you want to place the overflow / drying area / biological filter / internal sump.
Would you like a cover system at the biologist (against condensation)?
Would you like an osmosis compartment in the sump?
For marine aquariums, because of evaporation, osmosis water must be topped up weekly. We provide an extra shot in the sump so that you have a reserve volume and can have it refilled automatically.
Would you like to include an external filter system in this quotation?
An external filter (external filter) is an easy solution for filtering an aquarium. However, we recommend switching to a biologist for volumes greater than 400 liters. In an external filter you can find all the necessary items that a freshwater filter needs (pump, heater and filter mass). We use the OASE brand (the filter is equipped with a pre-filter, heating, powerful delivery pump and filter mass).

step 9 / 14
furniture finish
Indicate which type of furniture you want.
This option determines the furniture under the aquarium.
Aluminium furniture: aluminium is a good choice for a modern aquarium and furniture. Aluminium is a sandwich panel with an aluminum top and bottom layer that are available in different colors. It is a material that is easy to work with. It is seawater resistant and maintenance-friendly. Thanks to our machines we can saw the sheet material nicely in miter for a sleek whole. You are assured of an elegant and high-quality whole that is composed according to your wishes. You can also tick the door system in the following steps.
Decor panels 18 mm The price is cheaper than a furniture in aluminum finish. The great thing about this finish is that the doors are completely surface-mounted and not incorporated in a frame.
Lacobel furniture aquarium is one eye-catcher in everyone's home. It is a high-gloss finishing material for a dazzling end result. Lacobel is 4 mm colored glass that has been painted in an impregnated manner and which then results in a high gloss. With the help of technological machines, all pieces of lacobel are mechanically ground that are glued to the aquarium and furniture. The aquarium is provided with a top board that is +/- 10 cm high. The furniture is raised higher in finish such that it covers the gravel strip of the aquarium. You can also tick the door system in the following steps.
The wooden furniture is made of melamine wood (18 mm thick fiberboard with a melamine top layer on both sides). Perfectly suited for freshwater aquariums and seawater aquariums with internal sump. The cabinets are not moisture resistant in the long term.
Marine Conform is manufactured from 20 mm thick seawater resistant sheet material. The core of the sheet material is a water resistant structure, then it is melamine faced with durable laminates of 1 mm thick. The sheet material makes it possible to glue the ends nicely with the edge gluer.

Enter the desired height of the furniture:
This also determines your visibility height. We recommend not to go lower than 80 cm. Also an ideal height if you enjoy sitting in the sofa or at the table. This height is also interesting for the installation of the technology. We ourselves therefore recommend to stay between 80 and 100 cm.

removable panels
Note: Removable panels are very fragile at Lacobel.
Do you wish to close the rear wall of the furniture 3/4?
This is also a personal choice. We can glue an 8 mm plate on the inside, which you can then use as an electrical board or as a partition from the wall and your filter system.
Would you like a plywood sheet at the bottom of the frame?
This is a personal choice but definitely recommended. The cabinet is nicely closed at the bottom and the filter system also rests on a solid plate. A waterproof plate is then attached at the bottom.
Would you like an electrical room in the furniture?
Since there is a lot of cabling involved in the aquarium, you can neatly tuck it away in the electrical room. We also provide a shelf where you can store your products.

step 10 / 14
lighting
Do you wish to equip the aquarium with LED lighting?
The Lancia is the latest generation of LED lighting with an elegant and stylish design. Due to the slim dimensions and because this lighting is water resistant, the lighting is easy to install just above the water surface, as if it were integrated in the aquarium. The Lancia can be operated via WiFi using the free Horizon app on your smartphone. You can set the time of sunrise and sunset, adjust the intensity and control the color of the light in a wide spectrum. All this makes it possible to set the best lighting conditions for the fish and corals.
