Tank Protein Skimmer
Aquarium Fish Tank
There are many different ways you can set up an aquarium depending on what you would like to keep and what interests you most in the hobby. Accordingly hobbyists tend to put names on the different types of aquariums that can be set up because they have similar general requirements depending on the classification of tank.
Saltwater Or Freshwater Aquarium ?
In general, for your first complete aquarium, you should probably choose freshwater fish-tank for several reasons.Saltwater fish may be colorful and interesting but maintaining a saltwater tank can be very difficult.Reef Tanks are more of a science than a hobby.So, if you are a beginning fish owner, you really may want to think twice about starting out with a saltwater tank.For beginners, freshwater varieties are usually best since they’re less expensive and easier to keep alive than saltwater fish.It may take many months for you to become experienced with maintaining a saltwater tank, but, if you’re prepared for a steep learning curve, you may prefer to start with a saltwater fish tank.
For a saltwater tank, You will probably use live rock, which is also fairly costly, as a biological filter in the tank, as this makes setting up a saltwater tank easier.
Live rock is directly taken from a coral reef with organisms still on or inside the rock. These organisms, such as algae, sponges, worms and urchins are an important part of the nitrogen cycle that allows for waste to be processed into a less toxic form.If you do use live rock as a filtration system, you will also need to buy a protein skimmer. A protein skimmer is used to remove organic waste from a saltwater tank before it breaks down in the water.
Setting up a lighting system for a saltwater tank is also more expensive than setting up one for a freshwater fish tank. Poor lighting can cause these live organisms in your saltwater tank to die.Many corals feed using a system called photosynthesis, and the proper lighting is necessary to generate energy and good health.
Generally speaking freshwater fish are a lot easier to keep so if this is your first fish aquarium.
Dimensions
Fish tank surface area is important. This will contribute to providing superior oxygenation
and facilitate the creation of an attractive aquatic theme. Height also needs to be considered.
Marine and fresh water environments can benefit from taller aquariums, which can provide
superior conditions for certain species of fish and plants.
Weight
Remember that even a modest fish tank of 90cm (3ft) in length, when filled with substrate, rocks and
water, can weigh as much as 125kg (275lb). So we may have to dispense with the idea of using the
old card table, or a chipboard sideboard, unless we can devise some way of strengthening it with angle
iron. What is infinitely better is to purchase or construct a purpose made stand or cabinet which is
reinforced with angle iron, or stout wooden supports.
The Right Size
The size of fish tank is often limited to the space available. In general, select the largest size
of aquarium that space, location and budget will allow. This will provide many benefits, such
as a more stable aquatic environment, greater choice of fish and plants and an enhanced
aesthetic value.
Aquarium Fish Tank Location
Choose an area in your home where you can best enjoy the beauty and serenity of your new
Fish tank. Avoid placing your fish tank near windows, heating and cooling ducts.
Direct sunlight and temperature changes can negatively affect your aquarium.
Overexposure to sunlight can lead to rapid algae growth in and on your fish tank, plants and decorations.Rapid temperature variations are harmful to fish. It is also recommended to avoid
areas of high household traffic to prevent accidental contact with your set-up.
A conveniently located, grounded electrical receptacle is important for heater, canopy and filtration components. Under no circumstances should any household electrical appliances be
placed under or in close proximity to your aquarium.
