A Sure Way Buy the Best Fish Tank For Your Money
Buying a fish tank is the easiest and quickest way to start your own aquarium, but before jumping in there are several factors which will affect the size and shape of the tank you end up taking home. Make sure you have the adequate time, energy, space, and money to invest in your fish tank. Large reef tanks are spectacular to look at, but can be extremely difficult, time consuming, and costly to care for-making a smaller tank or a freshwater environment a more appealing first option to some.
As goes for building your own tank, a purchased tank needs to be on a stand which is strong and sturdy enough for the tank and accessories when it is full of water, fish, sand, and rock. For a tank with only water in it, multiply the number of gallons by ten to estimate the weight of the water-filled tank and then add the extra weight. The area designated for the tank also needs to be away from windows, air vents, or other places where the temperature of the tank could possibly be altered.
Another extremely important aspect to selecting an aquarium tank is knowing how many and which varieties of fish you plan to keep. Some, usually freshwater fish, do extremely well in small (10 to 30 gallon) tanks. Most saltwater fish need at least a 30 gallon tank while others need at least 125 gallons to survive due to their large adult size. Here are some good ideas for starter saltwater fish:
- Small Saltwater Tanks (30-55 gallons):
- Clownfish: Clownfish do very well in smaller tanks, with a length of around 4 inches, and are extremely popular. They tend to fight with other clownfish, however, and eat almost any type of food.
- Tomato Clownfish: These fish are fairly easy to keep for beginners and stay small enough for a smaller saltwater tank. They eat a varied diet and may not get along with other clownfish. They grow to be 5 inches long.
- Purple Firefish: These fish can be up to 4 inches long, need very little space and work well in even 10 gallon tanks. However they do not always get along with other fish of the same species and can easily jump out of the tank. Keep only one and make sure the cover is on tight.
- Large Saltwater Tanks (75 gallons +):
- Blue Tang: This fish is both large (up to 12 inches) and needs a lot of swimming space. They butt heads with other Tangs and need a varied diet.
- Convict Tang: These do not get along well with other Tangs, but make strong first fish for your saltwater tank. They can be up to 8 inches long, and do well in several temperature ranges and in most community tanks.
Once you have a good idea of what you'd like to have inside your tank, you need to plan time to set up your tank and get started. The basics to setting up and maintaining a freshwater tank are a good place to start.
