Setting up an Aquarium Fish Tank
An aquarium tank can bring the beauty and splendor of tropical or freshwater fish into your home or office, and if you follow sound fishkeeping principles when setting up your tank it will bring you years of enjoyment.
Planning your aquarium
A visit to your local pet store or specialist fish producer will help you decide on the type of fish you want in your new aquarium tank. The staff at the store will also help you determine the right size tank for the space and all necessary equipment and accessories you need.
However, do not buy any fish, but still! You must determine your tank before you introduce fish.
The first step is to thoroughly clean the tank. Do not skip this important step, just because the glass of the aquarium looks clean. Use a mild detergent in warm scrub water from the tank. Rinse the tank thoroughly to completely remove all traces of dirt and detergent. Flushing the tank cleaned several times with clean water to ensure that no traces of detergent left.
All equipment used will also be in your new aquarium tank and rinse. Even a small amount of residual detergent can kill your fish so do not skimp on the rinsing process. Gravel should be washed under running water until water runs clear. Plants can be stored in a clean bucket of water, while your aquarium.
Even a small aquarium tank is heavy – one liter of water weighs about 10 pounds – so your new tank will require a solid base. Special Aquarium available is that a sound basis, although a small tank can sit on other furniture. Use a layer of polystyrene tiles between the tank and the stand to even out All the bumps.
When setting up your aquarium try to avoid it in direct sunlight, which will cause algae to grow in the tank. Remember that it will be located near an outlet so many items of tank equipment needs a power source.
Now you can fill your tank and check for leaks. Allow the water for several hours and confirm that the tank is not leaking, and let the tank.
If you use an under gravel filter, place it in the tank first, provided the following instructions, then add the gravel, pile it a little higher on the back of the tank to give the impression of distance within the tank.
Half fill the tank with water. Preferably use dechlorinated water, or add chlorine remover in the recommended dosage. Place a dish in the tank on top of the gravel and pour the water on the dish. This will cause minimal disruption the gravel.
Then install the filter and heater if you are using one. For an indoor aquarium, a freshwater aquarium heater is seldom required. Tropical saltwater fish will usually require a heater to maintain the required temperature. If you are using a stove you should also install a thermometer in an easy to read location.
Now you can make your aquarium decorations. This could include a picture carrier, stones or other ornaments on the bottom of the tank. Make lots of shelters with the use of stones and other decorations. Your fish will appreciate a place to hide from time to time. You can also install plants to be buried in the gravel at this time. Floating Plants can be added when the tank is full.
Turn on the filter and heater and ensure that they work to fill the tank to the top with dechlorinated water. This starts the process of tank cycling the process of eliminating excess ammonia from the tank.
Ammonia can be a problem in setting up a new tank as the bacteria that breaks down ammonia is not present. For several months beneficial bacteria (Nitrosomonas) will develop in the tank. The bacteria breaks down the toxic ammonia into nitrites. Because of the time it takes for the beneficial bacteria to develop in the tank is recommended that you not enter fish for at least two weeks after setting up your tank.
When you're ready to add fish to your new tank try adding just a few at a time. You'll bring home from the store in a plastic bag filled with water. Float this bag, still sealed, on top of the tank until the temperature of the water in the bag at the temperature of the water in the tank. This may take several hours. Not rushed. When the water temperature same can carefully undo the bag. Let the fish swim out of the bag by itself to remove the bag.
Watch your fish for several days or even several weeks to ensure they are healthy before adding more fish. Take your time to fish population and you will determine the biology of the tank time to adjust to introduce the new fish and the waste they produce.
Always buy your fish from a reputable dealer to the likelihood of the introduction of diseased fish to a tank. Never add plants or from wild fish to an aquarium – the micro-organisms and bacteria in fish from the wild can kill fish in a tank!
Establish and maintain an aquarium aquarium is a commitment of both time and money but will reward the dedicated aquarist with years of enjoyment.
