Discover the AQUAEL Aquarium Range, Exclusively Available Through ALF
When it comes to creating an aquarium that looks as good as the world inside it, every detail matters.
From the clarity of the glass and precision of the construction, to the lighting, cabinet and everyday functionality, AQUAEL has spent decades developing aquarium products designed to bring aquarists closer to nature.
And retailers can access the AQUAEL aquarium range exclusively through ALF in the UK.
At the heart of the range is the impressive AQUAEL Opti Set, a premium aquarium system designed to put the display first.
AQUAEL – 40 YEARS OF AQUATIC INNOVATION
Founded in Poland in 1984, AQUAEL has grown from its beginnings as a manufacturer of aquarium aerators into an internationally recognised aquatic brand.
Today, AQUAEL develops and manufactures a huge range of aquarium and pond products, including filtration, heating, lighting, aquariums and complete aquarium systems.
With its own manufacturing facilities in Poland and products available across more than 100 countries, AQUAEL combines decades of experience with continuous product development and innovation.
For ALF retailers, that means access to a brand with a strong heritage, a broad product portfolio and products designed for everyone from newcomers to experienced aquarists.
And importantly, AQUAEL is exclusive to ALF in the UK, giving our trade customers the opportunity to offer something different and build AQUAEL into their own aquatic offering.
OPTI SET
SEE MORE. EXPERIENCE MORE.

The AQUAEL Opti Set is designed for customers who want their aquarium to be more than simply a tank.
It is about the display.
The front and side panels are manufactured from highly transparent Opti glass, designed to provide excellent clarity and colour reproduction. The glass edges are carefully ground and polished, while transparent, fish-safe silicone helps create a clean and understated appearance.
The result is an aquarium where there is less to distract from the aquascape, livestock and overall display.
Designed around the aquarium
The Opti Set combines premium aesthetics with practical features for everyday aquarium keeping.
The aquarium incorporates a robust frame and a satin-finish cover, while AQUAEL's Smart Open system makes accessing the aquarium straightforward. The cover can be opened and held in the desired position, with a dedicated feeding window providing convenient access for feeding fish.
Rear openings also provide practical routes for external filter hoses and electrical cables, helping retailers and hobbyists achieve a cleaner-looking installation.
Lighting that can evolve with the aquarium
The Opti Set doesn't simply provide illumination, it provides flexibility.
The integrated lighting rails allow the position of the lighting modules to be adjusted, helping users distribute light across the aquarium or focus illumination where it is needed.
The supplied Leddy Tube Day & Night lighting provides three lighting modes:
DAY – bright illumination designed to replicate natural daylight.
DAYBREAK – softer lighting for a more atmospheric transition.
NIGHT – blue illumination designed to simulate moonlight and allow observation of the aquarium after dark.
The system can also be expanded with additional lighting modules, giving experienced aquarists the flexibility to develop their setup as their aquarium evolves.
The cabinet is part of the experience
A premium aquarium deserves a premium base.
The dedicated Opti Set cabinets are designed specifically to complement the aquariums, creating a cohesive aquarium-and-cabinet presentation.
Adjustable feet allow the cabinet to be accurately levelled, while the robust construction provides stable support for the aquarium. The cabinet also provides valuable internal space for equipment such as external filters, CO₂ systems and aquarium accessories.
Available in multiple colours and sizes, the Opti Set range gives retailers the flexibility to create different showroom displays and cater for different customer requirements.
The current Opti Set range includes 125L, 130L, 200L and 240L options, with dedicated cabinets available to match.
MORE THAN JUST THE OPTI SET
While the Opti Set is one of the stand-out premium systems within the AQUAEL range, it isn't the only aquarium solution available to retailers.
AQUAEL has developed a broad selection of aquarium systems designed around different styles of aquarist, budgets and applications.
LEDDY
Aquarium beauty, day and night.

The LEDDY range provides an accessible way for customers to enter the world of aquatics while still benefiting from AQUAEL's experience in aquarium design and LED technology.
With its integrated lighting, filtration systems and ready-to-use format, LEDDY is ideal for customers looking for a straightforward aquarium solution without compromising on appearance.
For retailers, it provides an excellent opportunity to introduce new customers to AQUAEL and create an upgrade path as their interest in the hobby develops.
OPTI
Premium clarity, accessible design.

The AQUAEL Opti range brings the benefits of highly transparent Opti glass to customers looking for a cleaner, more refined aquarium presentation.
Opti aquariums are designed with the display firmly in mind, allowing aquascapes, plants and livestock to take centre stage.
It provides a natural step between conventional aquarium systems and the more fully featured Opti Set range.
ULTRASCAPE
Feel the freedom of creation.

For aquascaping enthusiasts, AQUAEL's UltraScape range takes things in a different direction.
Developed in cooperation with professional aquascaper Michał Adamek, UltraScape systems have been designed around proportions and dimensions favoured by aquascapers.
The open-top aquariums use Opti-type glass, polished and carefully finished edges and an adjustable lighting rack. The lighting system uses replaceable Leddy Tube modules, allowing individual lighting components to be changed rather than replacing the entire light.
Available in two sizes (60,90) and two colour options (Wood, Snow), UltraScape gives aquascapers the freedom to create everything from traditional planted layouts to experimental designs.
A RANGE FOR EVERY AQUARIST
One of the biggest strengths of AQUAEL is the breadth of its aquarium portfolio.
Whether your customer is purchasing their first aquarium, looking to upgrade to something more premium, building a dedicated aquascape or creating a feature aquarium for their home, AQUAEL offers a solution.
Range | Ideal for |
LEDDY | New aquarists & accessible aquarium setups |
OPTI | Customers wanting premium clarity and presentation |
OPTI SET | Complete premium aquarium displays |
ULTRASCAPE | Aquascaping enthusiasts & planted aquariums |
