5-gallon curved-glass column nano AIO kit (model ML90609; the Contour ML90611 is the wider sibling). dimsInches are the bare glass tank (~9.7 W x ~9.7 D x ~14.1 H); the full kit incl. base and sliding glass canopy is 11.81 x 11.62 x 17.05 in. Ships with an integrated LED canopy strip and an adjustable submersible pump (no published GPH, so null). 3-stage rear compartment (Rite-Size Z cartridge). Chamber is community-derived from build threads: a divider creates a ~2 in deep (front-to-back, the constraint) rear compartment spanning the ~9.5 in width; usable height ~12 in is an estimate.
