WIO AquaVistas Classic are museum-clear, handcrafted aquariums that celebrate the full spectacle below the waterline—pure lines, invisible joins, and artisan finishing that frame your aquascape as living art.

Classic is the essence of an aquarium: balanced, calm, and panoramic. Its clarity draws you into the movement of fish, the texture of stone, and the gentle sway of plants—nothing extra, nothing missing. Handcrafted in Spain with patience and precision, every edge and seam is refined to disappear, so your scape takes center stage.

Classic arrives ready to place with an integrated base cushion permanently bonded to the glass—silent protection you never need to adjust. This is the dependable, elegant canvas aquascapers trust for everything from minimalist Iwagumi layouts to lush planted jungles, competition tanks, and everyday masterpieces.

The Classic range focuses on the most useful sizes for creators: 30P for desks and nano scapes, 45P for compact showpieces, and 60P for the aquascaping standard—each delivering expansive underwater vistas in a footprint that fits modern spaces.

• Livestock: Add fish and shrimp only after cycling is complete, usually several weeks.

Pro Tip: Design your hardscape first in a WIO Dojo training space, then transfer it into Classic for a flawless build.

Do I need to install or align the mat?
No. The cushion is permanently bonded—place the tank directly without adjustments.

Is it safe for shrimp, plants, and fish?
Yes. Classic is fully inert and safe for freshwater biotopes, planted layouts, and community tanks.

What sizes are available and what are their volumes?
30P (15 L), 45P (34 L), and 60P (63 L).

How much substrate do I need for a 60P?
For 1–2 cm across the base, about 3–5 kg (rounded to WIO bag sizes). For a front-half riverbed with Florabed rear, 1.5–2 kg covers the front.

Can I place Classic on the Dojo?
No. Dojo is a training platform for hardscape design, not a display cabinet. For final placement, use a level surface or WIO Woody cabinet.
