Aquarium Tank Basics

Aquarium Tank Fundamentals
Any new aquarium tank ought to first be given a thorough check to be definite that it is watertight. If after 12 hours there's no leaks, it may be emptied & placed in its final position.
Now all is prepared to set up the aquarium, for this work they shall need various items such as sand, rocks etc. These will be death with in order.

For making a bottom soil, you need, initially some sand, the most suitable is called 1/16th grade & it is about the size of the average pin-head:
The gravel to be used must even be graded; that is, the gram must be of uniform size. Sand & gravel's sold in aquarium supply stores are always graded, but in the event you buy elsewhere they may nor be. Gravel grains 2-5mm work best.

In the event you use nothing, but sand, it must be well washed-in buckets, under walking water until no more dirt or foam comes to the surface - & spared out on the bottom of the tank in a layer walking from 3- 6cm thick sloping upwards from front to back. In the event you choose to mix the sand with gravel to make at least a layer 6cm deep on top of the subgravel filter since less than this amount reduces the filtering capacity of the tank.

Your tank is the basic element, & is of the most important in building an aquarium. The size of the tank depends on the number & size of fish you plan to have in it. That is why proper planning is essential when you need to set up aquarium.

But then it is important to make it as massive as you can afford. By all means avoid a globe tank as much as feasible. Rectangle shape is always nice because of various reasons you will discover later.
Option one: You can buy prepared made glass tanks already sealed professionally set up aquarium tank at any aquarium store.
Option two: Buy ready-made plastic models through distributors or mould-extrusion manufacturers & put your aquarium tank together yourself.
