I often have friends around me to ask me how to choose a fish tank, according to my many years of experience in fish farming, I have recommended a lot of fish tanks to my friends. Today, I will share with you how to choose a fish tank?
We want to be clear about what a fish tank is. The fish tank is the container for raising fish or aquatic grass, in short, it is a container for raising aquatic organisms.
A long time ago fish farming is nothing more than digging a pond, and then the stone tank, ceramic tank, glass tank, with the development of the times and science and technology, these years, whether from the material, specifications and shape, the development of the fish tank is also very rapid, the function of the fish tank is gradually improved into the aquarium such as the aquatic biological breeding system.
First of all, the stone tank, ceramic cylinder, plastic and other synthetic materials fish tank, this kind of fish tank is not very large under normal circumstances, the volume is not large but very bulky, the viewing angle is limited to the water surface, usually only used outdoors, raising cold water fish, into the landscape can also be, but raising ornamental fish and raising aquatic weeds is not suitable.
Family garden goldfish, koi can also be, almost on the tabletop, not recommended indoors.
From glass fish tanks with different shapes to exquisite and atmospheric luxury aquariums, glass has an irreplaceable position in the development of fish tanks. At present, the vast majority of fish tanks sold on the market are made of glass. Due to the difference in glass thickness and strength, I will simply divide it into ordinary glass fish tank, tempered glass fish tank, plexiglass fish tank, special fish tank and everyone talk about it.
Ordinary glass fish tank, good light transmittance, hard texture, economical, is currently the most common fish tank on the market, but easy to break. Because of the low cost and low ornamental requirements, this type of fish tank is now less used in domestic fish farming, only in some aquarium markets or seafood markets, and usually in groups.
Family indoor fish farming aquatic weeds are not recommended, after all, there are better material fish tanks to choose.
Tempered glass fish tank, good light transmittance, very hard texture, the glass material of this fish tank after carbonization heat treatment, so the strength of the impact resistance is about 5 times higher than ordinary glass, light and hard, but the price is relatively high. Because of its high strength, tempered glass fish tanks are usually used for large fish tanks or aquariums, and are also used in some special pressure-resistant environments, such as fish tanks under the countertops of tea tables.
Household fish farming can be used, but if the fish tank is not large, it is not necessary, because there are better fish tanks in terms of transparency.
Plexiglass fish tank, high transparency of plexiglass is conducive to ornamental, light weight, not easy to break, lightfastness, good thermoplasticity, easy to form and process, can be made into any shape, but this material is weak in strength, can not withstand large pressure, so only suitable for small fish tanks. In addition, plexiglass is not resistant to abrasion, the surface is easy to scratch, scratches not only make the surface of the aquatic grass box rough, but also affect the transparency and ornamental effect.
Home fish farming aquatic weeds are not recommended, unless it is an indoor table decoration, otherwise you will regret it.
Special plexiglass fish tank, common is the acrylic fish tank, acrylic fish tank perspective is also very good, and not reflective, not foggy, good thermoplastic, can process different shapes of the aquarium tank, but there are also small pressure resistance, easy to scratch shortcomings.
Household fish farming aquatic grass can be used, but it needs to be used with care.
Ultra-white glass fish tank, which is now the mainstream fish tank, because of excellent penetration, pressure resistance and hardness, wear resistance are good, so it is favored by many fish farming enthusiasts, but the cost of this type of fish tank after the hot bend increases, usually in the form of a cube, so there is no cylindrical or spherical fish tank ornamental strong. Of course, the ornamental nature of the cube is also a different scenery.
The fish tank is preferred for family fish farming and aquatic grass farming, for the above reasons, and does not accept rebuttal.
Wall-mounted fish tank: This kind of fish tank is generally on the wall, or the aquarium is embedded in the wall, so that the aquarium scenery is like a hanging dynamic mural, this placement method should consider the bearing capacity of the wall and the fish tank and the aesthetic problem of the layout, it is advisable to plan in advance, because this placement method is generally not suitable for change.
Cabinet fish tank: This is a way of displaying both aquarium landscapes and storage functions, and it is also a new choice for family fish farming. Usually the bottom cabinet is placed with fish farming tools such as filter cartridges, of course, there are also fish tanks with separate lower filters to lower the filter tanks.
This kind of fish tank is also highly recommended by me, because of strong independence, overall coordination and beauty, does not occupy other space, and is very beautiful and practical for indoor use in the family, whether you raise fish or grass.
There are many sizes and specifications of fish tanks, and many factors should be considered when choosing the specifications of fish tanks, such as fish farming or grass farming.
Usually the larger the aquarium, the larger the amount of water, the easier it is to take care of, and the more stable the environment that can give fish and aquatic plants to survive, so it is easier for a large aquarium to establish and maintain a balanced ecological environment. I personally recommend choosing a water capacity of 80 ~ 100 liters is preferred, this specification is not only economically acceptable, but also easy to place in the home environment, but also for aquatic plants and fish to provide sufficient living space, is the ideal fish tank size choice.
From the perspective of landscaping, the specifications of the aquatic weed box must be selected to facilitate planting and pruning, without affecting the ornamental effect. The landscape style of different sizes of aquatic grass tanks will also be very different. The longer length of the water weed box is convenient to show the moving posture of various aquatic weeds, so that the field of view is wider and more rich in landscape changes. The aquarium with a large width is convenient to match the landscape of the front, middle and rear scenery water and grass, creating a fish tank landscaping with staggered front and back and depth, so the width is generally 30 to 45 cm. The high height of the aquatic weed box is suitable for different heights of aquatic weeds with a sense of hierarchy, but the height of the aquatic weed box should also be determined according to the lighting system equipped, and the water weed box is too high and too narrow to the bottom pressure is too large, which is not conducive to the growth of aquatic weeds, and at the same time brings inconvenience to management operations. Therefore, in addition to the height of the water weed box can not be too high, the length and width can be selected according to the needs of the landscape.
With the improvement of people's quality of life, more and more people attach importance to home decoration, and the ornamental value of aquariums is directly reflected in the shape, and different shapes give people different visual enjoyment. Rectangles are the most common and common shape on the market. The rounded lines are soft and elegant. The double-curved arched aquarium makes the viewing view more extensive, and can enjoy the view in the cylinder in all directions. The wavy design is dynamic and brings fish and aquatic weeds to life. The bullet type is another breakthrough in traditional styling, which is novel and creative. There are also different styles with different characteristics such as oval type, diamond type, TV type, etc., and different appreciation angles bring you more options. This type of fish tank allows you to appreciate the agility of the fish from different angles. When purchasing an ornamental fish tank, you can choose your favorite style according to the needs of home decoration and economic conditions.
The above is one of my fish tanks, ultra-white glass cabinet type, fish and grass farming can be, I recommend family indoors to choose this type of fish tank.
