Today, the stores offer a wide range of aquariums of all shapes and sizes, so anyone can equip a living corner. In order not to get lost in the variety of pretty glass houses, listen to the helpful tips below.
Selection recommendations
The glass from which the aquarium is made can be silicate or acrylic. The first option is a crystal clear material that can be easily cleaned of plaque and dirt. However, it is quite fragile.
Acrylic glass is characterized by high elasticity of the material, which increases the reliability of the tank. In another way, this species is called "plexiglass", it is difficult to break or damage it. If you intend to place the aquarium in a noisy room or there are many children in your family who may accidentally touch the tank during games, then choose a vessel made of acrylic glass.
Tank shape
In shape, aquariums are rectangular, angular, wall-mounted and panoramic.
- Rectangular models are ideal for halls, dining rooms and other spacious rooms.
- If you live in a small apartment, then take a closer look at the corner options that fit perfectly into the interior of compact homes, freeing up the missing space.
- Flat and elongated wall-mounted tanks look great in bars and offices. Also, such models can decorate a bedroom or study.
- Panoramic aquariums are luxurious and interesting, allowing you to see the smallest details of underwater inhabitants and plants, as they have the effect of a magnifying glass.

Make sure of the high quality of the goods, for this, contact a well-established store for purchase. And then a real miracle will appear in your home, warming the soul and heart with its beautiful view.
