Pisces, like man, is very important to feel comfort. For the inhabitants of the aquatic world, plants, algae or stones are perfect. It is unlikely that you will be able to independently obtain living plants, but self-made decor for an aquarium in the form of a grotto is quite within your power.
Interior decoration - the idea of the mainsail
The best material for decorating the aquarium is stones . Why not enrich it with a grotto. Do it yourself will not be difficult.
Take a glass bottle, a strong thread, a wide brush, an emery cloth, any fuel, such as cologne, alcohol or thinner. To treat the surface you will need tile glue and a special aquarium primer. As you can see, almost the whole list consists of improvised means.
- First of all, it is necessary to prepare a bottle: the neck and the bottom are cut. To do this, moisten a strong thread in the fuel and tie it around the bottom. Light the thread, wait 30 seconds, then quickly dip it into ice water. The unnecessary part of the bottle will separate exactly along the contour of the thread.
- The same manipulations are done on the back of the container. To give the product a more natural shape, use pliers to break off unnecessary pieces.
- For the safety of animals, it is necessary to treat the edges of the future grotto with sandpaper. Now you have a through glass tube.
Decorating with stones
\
Variants of the aquarium decor can be different, but small stones are best for finishing the grotto.
- In a small container we dilute the tile glue to the consistency of a thick cream.
- Spread some of the stones on a flat surface. On top of the stones, glue is applied to which a glass blank is then applied.
- With a thick brush, apply glue (0.5 cm) to the rest of the bottle and sprinkle with aquarium primer. Press down the stones so that they are imprinted in the solution.
- The construction will take at least 24 hours to dry out well. After that, soak the product in water for 48 hours, so that all unnecessary impurities come out and could not harm the inhabitants of the aquarium.
Just a few hours of diligence, and the unique decor of the aquarium stones ready.
