1. Only
the smallest desktop aquarium, fish tank, spherical shape cannot equip
anything. Just put the fish in it, feed them occasionally and change the water.
Oxygen will dissolve in it due to the natural diffusion.
2. Larger
aquariums (about 30 liters) must be equipped with aquarium
air diffuser. They are of two types: with a rotating impeller and
vibration. The former are more reliable, but the second is more maintainable,
and therefore the owner knows how to repair them are even longer. Be sure to
read the instructions to the compressor, can I keep it switched on around the
clock, or it requires periodic shutdown.
3. If
you just put the hose for the oxygen the fish need, it might cause a few large
bubbles rising at high speed. It's not just ugly: they reach the border between
water and air so rapidly that the diffusion of oxygen almost does not occur. In
addition, these bubbles may disturb and even injure the fish. To avoid this,
use the nozzle on the hose.
4. There
are some kinds of fish, which would feel comfortable when the water temperature
is a little bit higher than room temperature. For them, you have to equip the cheap fish
tank heater. It is best to use such a device in each aquarium, which
heats the water for the temperature constantly.
5. Quite
a large aquarium (about 50 litres) it is advisable to equip the filter. This
device constantly passes water through the filter element by means of a small
pump. But note that water will have to change anyway, albeit much less
frequently. In addition, the extent of contamination will need to be replaced
and the filter element itself.
6. LED
aquarium spotlight is necessary not only observers, but also by its
inhabitants. One of them is enough visible light, and the other required a bit
of ultraviolet. In the second case, use only UV lamps that are specifically
designed for use in the aquarium.
7.
Accessory increases the comfort of access to the aquarium. First of all, it includes
the extension, if each socket has a separate switch. It allows you to be
individually controlled compressors, heaters, filters and lights, not pulling
their plugs. It is important that all the switches in the cord were double
pole. And to know, is it too high (or low) temperature, install on the inner
side of one of the side walls of the aquarium thermometer with suction Cup.
They in any case should not be mercurial.
