If you are looking to create a corner of beauty and tranquility in your home, then an aquarium may be the best option. Fish watching is known to help you relax. Of course, all this is in the case when the artificial reservoir is beautifully designed and the inhabitants of the aquarium are healthy, and it is convenient for you to observe it. Having decided to start an aquarium, you need to determine what the aquarium will stand on, where and how it will be placed and what is needed for it.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing what your aquarium will stand on, give preference to factory bollards. Such stands are designed for the weight of a given vessel with water and are convenient for placing equipment and care products, and thirdly, they have a flat surface and are resistant to high humidity. This is very important to avoid leaks. Be sure to check if the surface on which you are going to place the aquarium is level, horizontal and clean!
Step 2
You can place the aquarium in any room - in the bedroom, living room, corridor. The main requirement is that he should not stand in direct sunlight! Fish need bright light only during spawning and vitamin deficiency. The rest of the time, extra light will only bring harm. It is advisable if you install it in the darkest part of the room. Also, the aquarium should be placed at a considerable distance from the window, so that the light falls on its front and side parts - against a wall perpendicular or opposite to the window.
Step 3
Also take care of the equipment! You will need the following: compressor, filter and heater. Modern filters and compressors are relatively quiet. However, be sure to consult the sellers - how noisy this or that device works, how to minimize the noise it creates. And all modern heaters are equipped with an automatic thermostat with a temperature controller.
