If you have a fish tank, than an aquarium pump is essential to the functioning of the aquarium, and must be chosen with great care. Without a pump, your fish would not be able to get the oxygen that they need.

Finding the pump that is right for you can be difficult if you are not familiar with the industry. In many cases, when you purchase a new tank, it is likely that most of the necessary equipment including the filter pump come pre-packaged. This makes the set up so much easier, as you will instantly know that you have everything needed.

Terrestrial plants grown hydroponically near an aquarium can be an inexpensive supplement to (or replacement for) a mechanical filter, and are particularly useful with fish that are incompatible with aquatic plants.

In choosing a substrate for your aquatic caudate, you must first take a few things into account: How large and what species is the animal? Does it require hard or soft water? Does it prefer still water or flowing streams? Will it be fed by hand or allowed to hunt on its own? Will you use live plants? How easy will it be to clean the substrate?

Sooner or later the aquarist gets the urge to create a beautiful underwater planted garden:
Easy - Buy some attractive plants and stick them in the sand. Truth - Couple of weeks later all of them have rotted and melted away.
…So what went wrong? Plants require light, nutrients, trace elements, C02 and substrate to grow. Let's look at these issues....

Если Вашему дому или офису не хватает ярких красок - заведите аквариум в стиле "псевдоморе". Повторяющий по атмосфере настоящий морской аквариум, он более прост в обслуживании. Псевдоморской аквариум может быть выдержан как в холодных спокойных тонах, так и представлять собой пеструю картинку смешения контрастных цветов. Что предпочесть – зависит от Ваших вкусов, целей и помещения, для которого предназначен аквариум.
