In today's world, many of us suffer from stress. No wonder that there was always a fashion for aquariums. Watching the fish, you can gradually calm down and leave at least a moment from the cruel reality, put your thoughts in order. Modern materials allow creating the most bizarre pictures of the underwater world.
Common aquarium design options
- Design of small aquariums . Small people buy tanks for various reasons. Sometimes a large aquarium does not allow the size of the room. Very often they are chosen by novice lovers, who only get acquainted with underwater inhabitants, and do not risk to buy a larger capacity. But you need to understand that a small aquarium can create big problems. The fact is that it is faster heated or cooled, in a small pond the less stable the entire ecosystem. The simplest version is the design of an aquarium without living plants (with artificial algae), it is suitable for an inexperienced aquarist. Try to act so that your glass house is not quickly overpopulated by inhabitants. Do not make a water park of many kinds of fish, it is better to buy them in one style, some of them visually badly combined with each other. For aquariums up to 50 liters it is good to buy a schoolfish small fish - neon, guppy endler, cardinals (in the amount of up to 50 pieces). Medium-sized fish can accommodate a smaller number of -20-30 pieces. Cichlid, gurammi, macro - not more than 10-12 pieces.
- Design of a round aquarium . Such tanks usually make up to 25 liters, and many fish in them can not fit. But they need good lighting. It is better to purchase an aquarium with a ready-made high-quality lamp. The round shape and small dimensions do not always allow you to install all the necessary equipment, but it can easily be moved around the room if desired. Here, some species of fish will not feel very comfortable. The best option will be guppies, neons, cockerels, most invertebrates.
- Design of an aquarium with stones . The shape and size of these decor elements depends on the taste of the owner and the volume of the container. Now there are artificial stones simulating grottoes or underwater rocks. But cheap patterns do not resemble natural formations. Do not forget about the inhabitants, covering the whole soil with stones, catfish and other fish like to rummage in the sand. Do not take bright samples - this may be a sign of the presence in the stone of an unwanted element. Marble with limestone, shells, sea - increase stiffness, it is better to take granite, basalt, or other rocks.
- Design of an aquarium with a ship . Pirate schooners and brigantines, torn gear, a broken bottom, an anchor in the sand - such a picture casts a romance. The main thing in this business is to maintain the scale, so that your boat does not look unnatural, toy. A large shell or large algae leaves next to its body can spoil the impression. Although everything here solves the personal taste of the aquarist.
- Design of an aquarium with goldfish . They are quite tenacious creatures, but for them the small capacity is no longer suitable. It should be quite spacious - up to 20 liters per fish. For internal decoration snags, stones, ceramics are suitable. Just make sure that they do not have sharp edges. The goldfish looks best on the background of juicy bright greenery, but remember that they quickly eat plants, turning your garden into a wasteland. Pick algae with large tough "insipid" leaves, you can use the common Javanese moss.
- Design of an aquarium with cichlids . Regardless of the type of these fish, there must always be soil inside. They like to dig around here and prefer to breed in offspring arranged in secluded places. Cichlids love hiding places where they hide from strong individuals or during spawning. Rocks, castles or corridors made of stone will be very welcome here. So you can break a large aquarium into zones if it contains a lot of fish.
- Design of an aquarium for discus . They also need a large tank. Buying an aquarium, you expect that one adult person needs 50 liters, and a small one - 20 liters. Discussions are timid creatures, they tolerate stress very badly. It is better not to put the aquarium near the aisle. Place it better against the wall opposite the window. Try to darken the back wall of the aquarium with a black background, placing a couple of bizarre snags and several artificial plants on the bottom. This design option is considered the most successful and widespread.
Aquariums can be made in any shape and size. The main thing is that the external and internal design of the aquarium fits well into the interior of your office, city apartment, country house, in harmony with the surrounding interior.
