Aquarium Covers 120x40 cm

From Mini to Maxi: Aquarium Covers for Every Size

The deLUX and Vario aquarium covers offer elegant design and sophisticated functionality for enhanced aquarium care. The deLUX series is distinguished by its durable aluminum design in titanium gray or white, but is only available in standard sizes. In contrast, the Vario series offers a high-quality plastic frame and the flexibility of custom sizing, complemented by an optional gravel blend for a unified aesthetic.

Both series support our innovative LED lighting and are characterized by two lid systems: the Flap system with foldable lids for easy access and the Slide system, in which lid elements are moved to the side, allowing for adaptable use. Suitable for aquarium sizes from 30x30 to 400x150 cm, they feature an XL dirt and water level blend for clear visibility. The reflective inner sides maximize the light from the LED bars, ensuring optimal illumination without light loss. Choose from over 20,000 possible combinations to find your ideal aquarium cover that is not only functional but also visually impressive. Whether it's deLUX in aluminum or Vario with a plastic frame, both options transform your aquarium into a breathtaking underwater world.

The frame profiles and/or support profiles of the cover may have small scratches or stains/colour defects and are therefore not flawless. In some cases, however, the profiles are almost perfect and faults are probably hard to find for the layman. To give you an idea of the flaws mentioned, you will find 3 examples of how this may look in the product images.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Glossary

Here we present our glossary, which contains carefully compiled definitions and explanations of key terms relating to our aquarium covers. This glossary serves as a handy resource to help you gain a deeper understanding of the specific features, options and configurations of our products. Whether you are an experienced aquarist or just starting out on your aquarium adventure, this collection of term explanations will help you make the best possible decisions for your aquarium and its equipment. Dive into the world of aquarium coverings with our comprehensive glossary designed to clarify your questions and expand your knowledge.

Aluminium composite panel

This material (also known as sandwich panel) is used for the cover panels of our covers and consists of a robust plastic core coated on both sides with 0.3 mm thick aluminium. They are waterproof and therefore ideal for use above water. The upper side is kept in a maximum similar colour to the frame, while the underside is highly reflective and mirror-like, which optimises the light yield in the aquarium. The overall thickness is around 3 mm. The panels are covered with a protective film on both sides to protect them during transport.

Wide side

In relation to aquarium covers, the wide side refers to the shorter side of the aquarium or glass tank. It is the side that is usually referred to as the side pane. This measurement is crucial when choosing the right size for aquarium covers to ensure an exact fit and optimum functionality.

deLUX

The deLUX series stands for high-quality aquarium covers made of first-class aluminium. This series is characterised by precise manufacturing processes that guarantee minimal gaps and impressive stability. The covers are available in the colours titanium grey and white. The frame profiles in titanium grey are fully anodised, which makes them corrosion-resistant, while the white frames are powder-coated, both with a matt, brushed finish. A characteristic feature of the deLUX series is that it is only available in common standard sizes, unlike the Vario series, which offers customised solutions with a high-quality plastic frame. A gravel screen that matches the deLUX series is not available.

Cover layout

The cover layout defines the number and arrangement of the central profiles in an aquarium cover, which depends largely on the width of the cover. The layout is designed to optimise the functionality and manageability of the cover flaps. For example, two central profiles are possible from a width of 50 cm and three central profiles only from a width of 80 cm in order to ensure practical handling and sufficient opening sizes. To prevent the lid flaps from becoming too large and heavy, one central profile is provided up to a width of 70 cm and two central profiles up to a maximum width of 110 cm. 

The resulting systems can be designed as a two-part hinged lid system (one support profile with two lid flaps), a three-part hinged lid system (two central profiles with one centre section and two lid flaps) or a four-part hinged lid system (three support profiles with two centre sections and two lid flaps). The positioning and spacing of the support profiles are evenly distributed across the width of the aquarium, although individual adjustments can be made using the 'Customised cover layout' service. All support profiles are aligned parallel to the long side of the aquarium cover.

Flap

In our aquarium covers, "flap" refers to a hinged lid system that allows easy access to the aquarium. The design with hinged lids allows the lid flaps to either be raised or removed completely if required. Depending on the model and size of the cover, the lid flaps are supported by one to three support profiles to ensure optimum stability. To simplify handling and increase stability, the cover flaps are manufactured in two sections for lengths over 126 cm, three sections for lengths over 246 cm and four sections for lengths over 366 cm.

Retaining bridges

Retaining bridges are special fastening elements for the integration of LED bars (eco+ and PRO) into the support profile of the Flap aquarium covers. These retaining bridges enable safe and flexible flexible installation of the LED lighting. The standard scope of delivery includes two bridges are included for covers up to 125 cm in length, while four retaining bridges are included for covers longer than 126 cm. are included. Additional retaining bridges can be ordered separately if required. The LED bars are attached directly to the retaining bridges using self-tapping screws. directly to the retaining bridges using self-tapping screws, with the central groove on the The central groove on the back of the LED bar serves as a fixing point. This design This design ensures maximum flexibility both in the positioning of the bridges on the LED bar as well as the choice of mounting location in the support profile. support profile. A maximum of four eco+ LED bars or two PRO² and one eco+ LED bar can be mounted in parallel. For the aquaLUMix LED bars do not require retaining bridges.

Gravel panel

A gravel panel is a decorative element that serves to conceal the bottom edge of the aquarium and everything underneath it. It is ideal for concealing the sand, gravel or any debris so that the aquarium always looks neat and aesthetically pleasing. Our gravel screens are available in different heights (5 cm or 7 cm) and can be ordered for one to four sides of the aquarium as required. With a material thickness of 2 mm, they are robust and durable. The texture and colour of the gravel covers are matched to the Vario series of our aquarium covers; we cannot offer exactly matching gravel covers for the deLUX series. Installation is simple and straightforward thanks to the self-adhesive backing. The gravel cover can also be used as a dirt or water level cover in the upper section of the aquarium if it does not have a cover.

Long side

For aquarium covers, the long side refers to the longer side of the aquarium or glass tank, i.e. the front and back of the tank. This measurement is essential for determining the right size of cover to ensure perfect coverage and functionality.

Groove

The frame of our aquarium covers has a circumferential groove as an alternative fixing point for our eco+ and PRO² LED systems. This makes it possible to mount them directly in the frame at 90° to the water surface, with free choice of position. Perfectly suited for the very special effects of light simulation, e.g. for a horizontally illuminated moonlight or sunset over the water surface.

Self-glazing

The "for self-glazing" option for a Slide aquarium cover means that the cover is supplied without the usual cover elements. This option allows the customer to use their own customised cover elements, such as glass panels. Although the cover comes without cover elements, the required E-profiles, which are necessary for the functionality of the sliding cover system, are included in the scope of delivery. This offers a flexible solution for aquarists who want to design a customised cover with their own materials.

Slide

Slide is the name of our aquarium covers with sliding lid system with their purist and sleek design and easy sliding technology. The Slide system, in which cover elements are slid to the side, is suitable for aquarium sizes from 60x30 to 400x70 cm. The two- or four-part sliding cover with handle holes guarantees easy handling and maximum accessibility. A sealing lip for the top panel ensures that dripping condensation is removed from the bottom panel. And the special feature: The insides of the cover plates reflect the light so that no light is lost.

Dirt and water level screen

The attached frame of our aquarium covers covers the upper 38 mm of the aquarium and thus forms an integrated XL dirt and water level screen that ensures a clean and undisturbed field of vision all round.

Bar

In addition, our frame profile also offers a circumferential bar for fastening by hanging or setting up lighting with corresponding fastening options. The separately available TRIO holder for U-profile is the ideal accessory and the perfect complement. As are the standard bracket mounts for the aquaLUMix and PRO² LED bars. This allows the lighting to be freely positioned in the frame and moved as required.

Technical cut-outs

Technical cut-outs are specially designed cut-outs in the aquarium cover that can be fitted either on a wide side or long side. These cut-outs are intended for the installation and passage of aquarium technology such as filter supply lines, heaters, cables or similar. There is also the option of choosing an aquarium cover without technology cut-outs if no external devices are to be installed. The width and position of the technology cut-outs vary depending on the model and size of the aquarium cover selected, whereby the height of the cut-out is always 36 mm from the top edge of the glass. Detailed information on the available configurations of the technical cut-outs can be found in the product description of the respective model.

Central profile

The Flap aquarium cover has 1 to 3 central profiles to accommodate our eco+, PRO², spotBEAM and aquaLUMix LED systems, depending on the cover layout. This means that ideal light distribution is always possible, depending on the depth and surface area of the tank. The eco+ and PRO² LED bars are inserted and fastened directly into the central profile using the enclosed retaining brackets, while the aquaLUMix and spotBEAM are inserted and fastened directly into the central profile. In addition, the cover flaps are inserted into the support profile or set up vertically when opened. The central profiles are inserted into the frame of the cover without any further fixing and can therefore be easily moved and removed as required.

Vario

The Vario series of our aquarium covers is characterised by its high-quality, high-gloss plastic frames, which are available in black, white and mottled grey. This series offers the possibility of millimetre-precise production to the customer's individual desired dimensions, with a maximum length of up to 400 cm. For a harmonious and uniform look, matching gravel covers in the corresponding colours can be added as an option. The Vario series is therefore ideal for aquarists who value an individual, customised design for their aquarium. 

Customisation is easy with us: in our shop you will find a variety of sizes in 5-10cm increments. If your aquarium is a special size, simply select the next larger standard length and specify your exact measurements when finalising your order. Our experts will take all the necessary details into account to ensure a perfect fit.

For example, for a 97.5cm aquarium, select 100cm and then specify the exact 975mm in the last step at the checkout. Our experts will take care of details like the safety margin and ensure that your cover or gravel strip fits perfectly!
