Large aquarium

The acquisition of huge aquariums of more than 300 liters is a dream for many aquarists. Naturally, the installation of such a tank in an apartment or a frequent house threatens its owner with some problems, but the advantages of such a handsome man are also considerable. We will try to assess all the nuances, perspectives and difficulties that will arise in an amateur aquarium fish, decided on such a difficult, but very welcome purchase.

Features of the large aquarium in the apartment

The first difficulty that an aquarist will face is finding a place for a tank. A large aquarium for turtles or fish in itself is a rather cumbersome and heavy subject. If it is filled with liquid and soil, the weight of the vessel will increase by several centners. Naturally, a weak table from the chipboard can fall apart from the load, so immediately take care of a high-quality and reliable stand. Also carefully choose the seller of a large beautiful aquarium. If suddenly it turns out that the transparent giant is made of ordinary thin glass, then you risk once to get a huge puddle on the floor with a bunch of debris and dead fish.

You need to clean the filters every couple of months, but this work requires a lot of time and effort. Some wealthy people even hire specialists to not do it themselves. In addition, it is required to purchase a barrel of liters for 50-60 to settle the water, which is constantly needed for substitution.
