How to choose the right aquarium for your home
Before you buy
Ask yourself 4 simple questions that will lead you to the right decision the first time
1 - Where is the basin located?
- Keep out of direct sunlight — algae cause
- Keep away from air conditioning or heaters — it affects the water temperature
- A stable and level surface
- Near electricity
2- What is the size of the area?
- Small corner or table ← 30-60 liters
- Hall or office ← 60 – 120 liters
- Front or entrance ← 120 liters and more
A larger tank is easier — more water means a more stable environment
3 - What type of basin do you want?
Freshwater — easy to set up for beginners , lower cost, wide selection of fish and plants
Shrimp aquarium — for those interested in a calm and elegant setting, but requires attention to water quality and careful preparation.
Reef Tank — For advanced divers, stunning colors and coral reefs; requires more powerful equipment and high level of expertise.
4 - How much time do you have for self-care?
Limited time — one hour a week is suitable for you: a ready-made plant pot
- Change 20% of the water once a week
- Feeding the fish daily — just 2 minutes
- Clean the glass once a week
- Plants act as a natural filter — reducing maintenance
Attentive to details — daily monitoring is suitable for you: a shrimp tank or a marine aquarium
- Monitoring water transactions daily
- Precise and specialized nutrition
- Regularly check the equipment and lighting.
- Regular water changes in specified quantities
