Tropical Fish Aquarium

Plan your tropical fish aquarium before you buy anything. You need to consider where you'll keep the aquarium in your home; the size and type of your aquarium. You'll also need to consider what type of aquarium stand; hood; filter; heater and thermometer (and so on) you'll need as well.

Where Will You Put Your Tropical Fish Aquarium?
There are a number of things to consider with the positioning of you aquarium.

Light & Algae
You may want to place your aquarium away from too much direct light because light tends to encourage the growth of algae and you will have to clean your aquarium more frequently.

Weight & Support
Remember, water weighs 8.34 lbs per gallon, so you have to have a strong enough support to carry your tank size. We will talk about aquarium stands a little bit later.

Other Things to Consider:
Make sure your close to a water source, so you don't have to carry water far. Make sure your close to an electrical supply, so you don't have to miles of extension cords. And make sure you keep your fish in a well-trafficked area of your house. That way, they won't be scared and hide when people come in the room.
