Face-lifting
The classical aquarium combinations “Karat, “Saphir” and “Marin” from German company Müller & Pfleger, Rockenhausen, have acquired a new appearance. The elegantly designed cabinet is in line with current trends, combining a practical function with various decorative options for the individual lifestyle. Standard cupboard elements are used as a base for a very stable construction, with suitably formed cover plates, bottoms and lateral sides. They can be increased in size up to a length of two meters. In addition to the available wood décor styles in black ash, beech, maple and oak, doors or sides can also be  bought separately, enabling the owner to vary the cabinet colour according to his taste. Combination with other decorative door fronts offers a wealth of options for customised design. All new furniture models will now be delivered in colourful promotional packaging, showing examples of further component parts available. The “Karat” model is now available in six different sizes ranging from 80 to 200 cm with a volume of 126 to 600 l. “Saphir” aquariums are available in 80, 100 and 120 cm, and the “Marin” combination with its vaulted front is available in 100 cm and 120 cm.
