Can i have an aquarium?
1. The first thing about getting an aquarium is to think if you have the profile to keep it. So these are some items that you should be as a person:
Patient
Love Nature
Be responsible
2. Then you should calculate the time and space that your aquarium will require.
Your aquarium should not be near a window, or any direct sun light source. By saying that, it does not mean that you cannot have it, but it will be very difficult to control the light exposure, and that can bright very serious problems, that you can never imagine.
The time that an aquarium requires is very low in general. On the first times, you will have to be more careful and always keep an eye very closed to the aquarium.
But as the time pass by, your will spent less time on the aquarium, and you will be able to enjoy more of it.
3. Your house should have an easy point of water, so you can make water changes in an easy way, and your water should be monitories, and reasonable good to keep water plants and animals.
The Concept of having an aquarium
Having an aquarium to keep fishes or anything else, by it self, and not providing the best for the habitants of that aquarium is a terrible mistake. In ours days it is very important to make sure ours aquarium has got the minimum conditions for keeping animals, and by said that, you must keep in mind that you will need to support all the needs. We know in ours days that we need to recreate Mother Nature inside your aquarium, so nature can make their role in the aquarium. Microorganisms, plants, bacteria, fishes, invertebrates, all these will be inside your aquarium, and if they do not, you will have problems.
The concept of reproduce what we see in nature, do it inside the aquarium is what we encourage, and making that you will respect nature, and see how fragile an ecosystem can be. So be influence by nature, and give all that your aquarium requires, and we are sure that your aquarium will give you all that you want.
The importance of Selecting the Tank

It is something that creates the water scene for the nature aquarium, designs the stone, the driftwood, and the water plant etc. in the tank, represents the nature.
The tank and the tropical fish weave the nature aquarium, and scene beauty of the whole water that is formed has become big charm. In order to pull out the beauty to the maximum, selection of the tank most becomes the important problem that first faces.
Because, composition and the scale impression of layout almost are decided according to some kind of tank is used. Furthermore, when effect is produced on coloration of the eye which colour of the glass saw the water plant and the tropical fish even, it is.
The tank cannot exchange being something that becomes the basis of the nature aquarium, one time designing, and the stripe uninformed simply. The tank is exchanged, with special care layout must be destroyed. Because of that, one time it is few excluding the case where the tank causes water leak, to exchange the tank that is installed. While using, that tank, being patient, you must continue to use even with when it becomes without the air leek, there is many a thing. Because it does not mean that kind of thing, the first tank choosing should be done prudently. Below, that point will be introduced.
Material And Structure of the tank
There is glass and acrylic as a material of the tank that is marketed at the admiration fish store and the like, generally. As for the tank in order in to interfere from outside, as for the material of the tank the one where being as transparent as possible the impression is high is ideal.
Generally, as for the tank in order to appreciate in from outside, as for the material of the tank the one whose transparency is high as much as possible is ideal. Now, you probably can say that there is an advantage in the acrylic material whose transparency is high. However, the acrylic is easy to be hurt the material softly. In addition, when you use for a long time, with influence of the ultraviolet ray detailed crack occurs inside the acrylic board. Because of that, the acrylic tank transparency is higher unconditionally also, you cannot declare. On the one hand, the glass is difficult to be attached the scar relatively hard, but there are times when coloration is conspicuous by quality. The general sheet glass it is not hyaline, even the green has applied. As for coloration of this green at the cut surface of the sheet glass you should have looked it is understood, about the cheap sheet glass coloration is strong, the extent where the glass becomes thick there is a tendency which is conspicuous.
Therefore, you can say that the tank that used the high-class glass that holds high transparency and durability is the tank that is optimum to the nature aquarium. In addition, the glass tank is connected with silicon, but those where the silicon of this joint is little as much as possible, is not conspicuous are the ideal glass tank. Of course, as for the framework and the like of the plastic, which becomes the disturbance of appreciation the one that is not is better.
Size and Capacity
W60XD30XH36 (cm), W90XD45XH45 (cm), W120XD50XH50 (cm), W180XD60XH60 (cm) and like it, is the size of the general glass tank. Especially, you can say that it is the size which as for the 60cm tank size being convenient, layout and management are easy to do, for also the beginner are suited. In addition, it makes water plant layout and, perhaps in the person who is accustomed you can be moved the 90cm tank by the size, which it is easiest to use. Furthermore if the person who becomes skilful to water plant layout, either the people who keep moving to the large-sized tank such as the 120cm tank and the 180cm tank are not few.
But, as for size of the tank there probably is many also a thing which is decided with problem of the place and the budget which are installed. In any case, when size of the tank becomes large, it is necessary to insert the fact that also capacity and weight become large in the head. Capacity of the tank planting it relates to also the number of water plants which judge and the fish that can be raised including the quantity of the water and the bottom floor material that go in the tank. When the standard 60cm tank is designated as standard, the 90cm tank approximately 3 times, the 120cm tank approximately 4 times, reaching up to the 180cm tank is a capacity of approximately 10 times. When capacity becomes large, because the water and the like enters that much, naturally also gross weight becomes heavy. Unless the tank stand and the strength of the floor that install the tank are sufficient, it is very dangerous
Slight knowledge of aspect ratio and layout
Actually the case where the tank is chosen becomes simply not only size, also aspect ratio when the tank was seen from the front important as a point. Pattern of the layout which it is easy to draw up with the aspect ratio of the tank which was seen from the front, is decided.
For example with the general tank, at the ratio that is stabilized, it can correspond to any layout the 60cm tank and the 90cm tank widely. Vis-a-vis that, the 120cm tank and the 180cm tank because it is wide ratio, are faced to especially panorama rockwork seeing layout. In addition, other than the standard tank, there is a high type tank and the like whose height is higher than the cube type tank and the usual tank of the cube whose size of breadth depth height is equal as a tank of special aspect ratio. As for the cube type tank, installing in angle and the like of the room, it is the tank, which can appreciate from two aspects, which are not confronted in the wall. Because of that, not only the front, being conscious of the fact that it is appreciated even from the side, there is many a thing, which produces layout.
With the high type tank, which has height, utilizing height, it unites the driftwood of large texture, it is easy to make the layout, which the standard tank compared to have force. This way, also those where the tank is decided with the pattern of the layout which by my would like to make, are the method the nature aquarium of seeming.
The case where the tank is installed the point of caution

Before installing the tank, it is sufficient for, for the tank stand and strength of the floor to support the gross weight of the tank, be sure to verify that it is not the distortion and inclination in the tank stand and the floor. Forgetting this, when it installs the tank, when it is worst, it means that the glass of the tank cracks. Being something, which is marketed as the tank stand, the fact that it is especially main point note is things such as the steel make and wooden cheap assembly type.
When this kind of tank stand is put on the floor whose horizontality and strength are not sufficient, the distortion is easy to occur, the glass cracks and/or becomes cause of water leak. Spreading the earthquake-proof pad of the rubber and the urethane make, which absorb the distortion and unevenness under the tank, if the distortion is large, the glass cracks after all. The case where the tank is installed using the spirit level and the like, securely we want verification, be sure to try to do. In addition, there is a place where the direct sunlight hits as the place where it is not suited for installing the tank in the interior. When the direct sunlight hits, the silicon, which connects the glass of the tank, becomes easy to deteriorate. In addition, the light and be too strong light whose colour temperature of Asahi and the evening sun etc. is low, are easy to become multiplication of the seaweed which comes in contact with the water plant and the cause of causing the green water conversion of the water.
Especially, because one Japan and China such as Asahi and the evening sun brief it just hits there is adverse effect even with when it does not hit, this kind of place should be to the utmost avoided.
Installation features of tank

You put the tank on the tank private stand which by all means verified horizontality. It is important to choose the product which as for the tank private stand is the strength which is sufficient for, to support the tank, will be secure. When you place on the furniture and the bay window, the distortion to be easy to occur is dangerous. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to also the strength of the floor which is installed sufficiently.
As for the window side where solar light you insert as the place where the tank is installed, the one, which is avoided, is better. When solar light inserts, there are also times when the seaweed becomes easy, to multiply becomes the green water.
Meaning of the bottom floor
In the nature aquarium, the part of the bottom sand, which plants the water plant, is called the bottom floor. With as the bottom sand of the tank of the time before, are many times when the sand and the like of one type is used, and raise the water plant, into the sand the nutrient was is mixed.
However, the bottom floor of the nature aquarium by the fact that the plural materials are combined has become something, which is suited for rearing the water plant. The know-how which is learned from the nature is utilized there.
The organic matter, which is derived from the living thing, is included abundantly in the natural earth; this becomes the shape, which can absorb the plant by the fact that it is disassembled by the countless soil microbes. In other words, the plant there being cooperation of the microbe, for the first time nutrition absorption from the root becomes possible.
Those where the relationship of this is adopted to rearing the water plant are the bottom floor of the nature aquarium. The water plant absorbs the nutrient, which is necessary for growth from the root and the leaf.
The water plant absorbing the nutrient from the root actively by the fact that the microbe exists abundantly inside the bottom floor, you are brought up healthily, because the organic matter, which it accumulates, in addition as the soiling of the tank is disassembled also environment of the tank stabilizes. The part, which even life of the nature aquarium it, should call, that is the bottom floor.
Temperature of bottom floor
When of growth of the water plant is thought, not only nutrition state, also temperature of the bottom floor is important. The tropical fish in case of the raising water, it is necessary to install the heater in the tank in the time when water temperature decreases. With this the water of the tank becomes the water temperature which is suited for raising the tropical fish approximately of 25°C, but when room temperature of the place where the tank is installed is low, temperature of the bottom floor is low
It becomes way. When the water of the tank and temperature difference of the bottom floor it becomes large, the water inside the bottom floor becomes difficult to circulate.
It is easy to know, that of the case where the bath is boiled is thought the cool water where, but relative importance the light warm water gets together in direction above, relative importance is heavy in direction under gets together. This way when layer develops in temperature difference, the water stops blending naturally. In order the same state as this to happen even in the tank, the new water is not supplied in the bottom floor and either, oxygen becoming insufficient, state to be bad or is easy. In addition, when it seems that temperature of the bottom floor is less than 15°C function of the root becomes bad even from the physiological aspect of the plant, reaches the point where growth stops.
This phenomenon is seen remarkably with the companion of especially equipment. When temperature of the bottom floor decreases, growth of the leaf stops, the picture stem dissolves from the part of the joint. It prevents this, it installs the growth plate in the bottom floor and (you insert the heater), should have tried the temperature of the bottom floor to maintain about similarly to water temperature.
Function of fertilized bottom sand
Those where it becomes resource of the nutrient inside the bottom floor, are the Aqua Soil Bottom. There are two types in the nutrient, which is included in the Aqua Soil. One the living thing disassembling, is the organic nutritive element, which can absorb the water plant for the first time, one more is the mineral element, which can absorb the water plant directly. The mineral element, approximately one year, supplies the nutrient continuously from immediately after the tank setting. However, in order with just the commercial fertilizer for the vegetable whose taste is thin in only shape to be possible, with just the artificial mineral element cannot grow the water plant healthily. Because of that, the organic nutritive element becomes important.
The water plant can absorb the organic nutritive element for the first time by the fact that the microbe disassembles, but the quantity of the microbe inside the bottom floor is not sufficient in tank set first stage, either the water plant cannot absorb the nutrient excessively. Then, in order to touch on or under the power sand, the additive tapir tar additive clearing where becomes the early rice cake of 100 which becomes occurrence source of the living thing and the microbe super it scatters thin.
As for the pumice which becomes the base of the Aqua Soil Bottom, because the surface is rich in unevenness at moderate size, the water pressure catching, plugging up is difficult to happen, water flow characteristic is maintained. Many of the microbes, which work effectively inside the bottom floor, need oxygen for existing. As for oxygen being to be carried into the bottom floor by the water, the Aqua Soil Bottom is suitable even in physical sense.
Type of bottom floor material
The bottom floor material of various types is spread on the Soil Bottom according to the image and intention of the layout.
Presently, the bottom floor material which is widely used with the nature aquarium is the Aqua Soil Top because growth of the water plant is fast, is used widely even among them. Set method of the most basic bottom floor the Aqua Soil Top, spreads on the Aqua Soil Medium, before it is the method of training rear low high. Most water plants are brought up well even in this state, but furthermore focusing on the direction before the bottom floor when the powder type where the grain is detailed is spread, the eye which was seen not only becoming good, because the root hair it is easy, growth of the like furthermore becomes good.
There is an effect, which designates water quality as the acidic soft water in the Aqua Soil Top, it can actualize the water quality which is suited, for raising many tropical fishes such as companion of the companion and the carp of. However, because it is not suitable weak alkaline water quality for raising the fish, which such as guppy and lamp eye likes, in that case the aqua ceramics and the aqua gravel S etc. where PH is difficult to decrease in place of the aqua soil, are used. In this case, growth of the water plant the Aqua Soil Top becomes slower than, but because maintenance is easy to do that much, even the setting which is suited for the beginner you probably can say.
