A collection of saltwater or freshwater fish will be beautifully-showcased inside of a new aquarium. Choose an aquarium setup that will be well-suited for the space you have allotted for the fish habitat. Consider maintenance and visibility when selecting an aquarium size and style.
Furniture/Aquarium Combos
A piece of furniture may have an aquarium built into it. This type of fish environment will serve a dual purpose and can make a room within your home truly unique. A glass-encased coffee table, for instance, may feature a laminate or wooden case that surrounds a glass tank. The tank could reach down to the floor or may be wedged in between the top of the table and a bottom platform.
Tables, bookcases, and hutches are some furniture styles that may contain a built-in aquarium. An aquarium may be stabilized fully within a furnishing but be capable of being separated from the furniture, in the event that the aquarium needs to be cleaned out.
Non-Furniture Aquarium Styles
An aquarium may also serve as an independent display piece. A pet store or hobby shop owner may sell aquariums and stands. A larger unit will support the expansion of a fish collection. If you will be starting off with a couple of fish but would like to introduce more species as time progresses, purchasing an aquarium that holds a large volume of water will be necessary.
A larger tank size will prevent rapid contamination buildup within a tank. Since leftover food and defecation can promote toxins within a water environment, any concerns about needing to clean out a tank frequently can be avoided altogether by purchasing a large tank size. Shop for standard tanks that are rectangular-shaped and unique tanks that are an original shape or height.
If you would like to have plenty of room within the new tank but don't have a lot of floor space within the room where the tank will be displayed, look for a tank style that is taller in height than normal. A tank may possess a cylinder shape that is several feet tall or a square shape that is much taller than a standard tank.
Review the volume of water that is needed for a tank. Choose a habitat that contains built-in lighting. Otherwise, shop for some separate lighting components that can be used to highlight various parts of the new tank that you invest in.
