How to build an aquarium.

The aquarium is a controlled artificial environment where fish and aquatic organisms can live away from their natural environment.

Dealing with the aquarium is a popular hobby worldwide. This is a hobby that will not disappoint, but it will be an extremely marine life of interest and source of joy.

On this page I will show you how produces the aquarium coffee table that I have.

How to: Create Aquarium Filters.

At every step there are pictures with the materials and tools you will need to make the construction. Each material and tool size ranges and the name is highlighted.

Step 1: building the aquarium.

First you need to buy an aquarium if it doesn't already contain one.

Convinced, because it sounds strange, the larger the aquarium capacity, the fewer problems we will have to maintain it in the future. But that only depends on you.

Care for the aquarium should be placed on a sturdy, flat base.

It also plays an important role and the type of fish you want to put in the aquarium.

The materials needed are above the picture.

Let's start!

steps

Put the growth substrate. (2cm)
Put the gravel. (approx. 3-4 cm)
Placing the decoration like granite cave and moss wall I'll show you the next steps.
Pour water up to the middle of the aquarium.
Plants.
Place the heater in the corner on the back of the aquarium (some aquariums along with heaters on the market include) and a thermometer.
Insert aquarium filter (in the next step I will show how to create an aquarium filter).
Bring the remaining water to fill the tank.
Insert the aquarium lamp and AC adapter (some aquariums contain aquarium lamps along the market).
Lighting, filter and thermostat put into operation and let the aquarium work for at least 2-3 days.

Don't even put fish.

Note:

You need to include water conditioners, as tap water contains chlorine, etc. that harm fish.

Step 2: creating the aquarium filter.

The filter is the heart of the aquarium.

Maintains the balance of the ecosystem,

and purifies circulating water

Enriched with oxygen, creates currents and much more.

Materials for filters.

Water filter
Water pump (extrenal)
Water plastic pipe
Plastic corners
Female reducer
Clamps
Base for the filter
water tap

Fittings plastic

Teflon tape

Plastic pipe

Water hose

The materials and tools needed are above the picture.

Follow the above picture with the filter plan

The brown line on the design is the plastic pipe.

Hints:

Make sure that the filter under the aquarium filter is in place.
My aquarium had a pump on the market. I use the pump to send water into the filter from the aquarium for better results.
The filters work without the internal pump, but you need to make sure the filter is under the aquarium.

Step 3: materials for filters.

Place the materials for filters with the order shown in the photo.

Step 4: creating the granite cave.

Use a hammer to break the granite into small and large pieces.
Try to break the granite pieces that you can build your cave.
Use the broken pieces and prepare the cave.
After you've created your cave without disassembling the parts, start making silicone stick into the pieces.
When all the parts are clean keep the silicone left over the side.

Hints:

Make sure you only add granite stones and nothing with lime because it will hurt someone fishing.
Read and follow the silicone instructions.
You need to circulate water through a couple of openings and into the cave.

Step 5: building the moss wall.

The plastic grille is widely available in most hardware stores, factory nuseries, and large supermarkets.

steps

Cut two equal pieces of plastic mesh to the size of the tank the moss you want to put.
Evenly stretched over the moss in a piece of plastic mesh. Do not try to leave every area uncovered or you may find gaps in your moss wall later, when you build the wall in your tank and the moss will start to grow.
Fold and then the second plastic mesh.
Knit with fishing line.
Make small holes with scissors.
Insert the suction cups into the holes.
Place the grid on the side of the tank. Make sure they are fully seated in the suction cups.

Good luck and enjoyment
Your aquarium.
