How to make an aquarium?

If you decide to buy an aquarium, then before you populate it with fish, think about how to properly design an aquarium. After all, fish are living things and they must live in a familiar environment. If you put fish in an environment that will be unfavorable for them, then nothing good for them will end there.

Do not forget to create in the aquarium places where the fish will hide. And the elements of the decor of the aquarium should be as natural as possible.

We make an aquarium with our own hands

If your aquarium will stand near the wall, then it is worth considering how to decorate its back wall. Do this before the water is poured into the aquarium and the fish are started. Let's look at how to decorate an aquarium with plants, for example, decorate the back of the tank with moss.

  1. For work we will need:
  • Spread the grid on the table. On one part of it, equal to the height of the wall of the aquarium , it is quite dense, without the prolchine, we spread the moss. If you lay unevenly, then later it will be problematic. However, a thick layer of moss can also not be laid, as it can rot.
  • We cover the decomposed moss with the second half of the grid and fasten both its parts with a line or thread. We attach the suckers.
  • Set the grid with the moss as tight as possible to the back of the aquarium. If you leave a large gap between the grid and the wall, then there can get a fish or other living creatures.
  • Remember that the top edge of the net with the moss should be higher than the water level in the aquarium. The lower edge should be well placed under the substrate, lying on the bottom of the container, and the lateral edges - well pressed to the aquarium walls.
  • As the moss grows, it must be cut from the top of the net. This is how the back wall covered with moss will look.
