aquarium tank

Glass fish habitat

An aquarium tank is a glass or acrylic container designed to hold water for keeping fish and other aquatic life.

The phrase is slightly redundant since aquarium already implies a tank, but it appears in contexts distinguishing the container itself from the broader setup: I need to clean the aquarium tank before adding the new filter.
