TMC First Wave 48L – Complete Marine Aquarium Set
Discover the exciting world of marine fish and reef keeping with the TMC First Wave 48L, a compact, all-in-one aquarium designed to make starting your first saltwater aquarium easier.
Featuring integrated filtration, Reef Ready LED lighting, a protein skimmer and return pump, the First Wave provides an excellent foundation for a small marine fish display or carefully planned nano reef.
Reef Ready LED Lighting
The integrated 34-LED lighting system provides a natural lighting cycle, including sunrise, daylight, sunset and blue moonlight.
Designed for marine aquariums, the lighting enhances fish colours and supports suitable beginner-friendly soft corals.
Built-In Multi-Stage Filtration
The rear filtration chamber combines mechanical and biological filtration to help maintain clean, healthy aquarium water.
Included filtration media consists of:
-
Fine-pore filter pad for suspended debris
-
Two coarse-pore filter sponges
-
Ceramic bio-rings for beneficial bacteria
-
Multi-directional return outlet
Protein Skimmer & Return Pump Included
Unlike many starter aquariums, the First Wave includes a low-voltage DC protein skimmer to help remove dissolved organic waste.
An energy-efficient DC return pump provides water circulation through the integrated filtration system.
Compact, Practical Design
With its modern glass construction and compact footprint, the First Wave fits comfortably into living rooms, bedrooms and offices.
An aquarium lid with feeding port provides convenient access, while the supplied heater bracket allows easy installation of a separately purchased heater.
