The decoration of the aquarium is interesting, but a rather complicated process not only for a beginner, and for a professional aquarist. Here there are features and recommendations with which it is advisable to get acquainted before proceeding to design. Consider in more detail the main points and the main elements of the decor.
1
The soil in the freshwater aquarium should be dark color, on light fish losing a bright color. Choose a suitable substrate and gently put it on the bottom with a plastic blade or a cropped plastic bottle.
2
If there are plants in the aquarium, before putting the ground, lay down the bacterial culture. In the future, it will contribute to the growth of plants. And use several layers of various substrate (sand, large and medium gravel).
3
A leaf foam should be put under heavy scenery or stones.
4
Pull the ground carefully and only in a clean water without water. Make a small slope to the front wall. The height of the soil near the rear wall should be 5-7 cm, in some places up to 12 cm, near the front wall - 5 mm -15 mm. For resurrection of the substrate, it is convenient to use a wooden blade. If you wish, you can make a light strip on a dark ground. Before filling light gravel or sand, separate the band boundaries with two cardboard sheets. Pull them very carefully.
5
The back background in the aquarium can be external and inner. The easiest option is a rolled film. It is sold in specialty stores in the footage. Often different heights and with a variety of patterns. As the external background can also use plastic, paper, cork tile or simply paint the glass in dark tones.
6
Inner background is always set to fill the aquarium. It is made of special plates, which are glued to silicone directly to the glass substrate or more. This process is longer and requires certain skills, but the result is worth it.
7
Shells are far from all fish will be the best solution. They contain calcium, affect water rigidity and acidity.
8
In aquarium, you can put any items that you buy in the pet store. The main thing is that they are made of safe materials (ceramics, clay, porcelain). Do not be afraid to experiment and lay objects into an unnatural position. As a decor, you can use pipes for drinking water.
9
Koryagi in the aquarium look very beautiful, but they need to be prepared correctly. Choose a dense, already dry branch. The tree will suit anyone, with the exception of oak. Oak strongly paints water. Now clean the cortex against the rest of the cortex, disconse or break the extra parts. Boil the branch of 12-24 hours. Periodically change the water. You can add a manganese or salt. Cool it outdoors and put aquarium to the bottom. It is better if it is in the process of preparing an aquarium when there are no plants. It is worth noting that any snag will soften water and give it a light brown shade.
10
Plants choose depending on the style of registration and taste preferences of future residents. Algae of bright red color require a lot of light, additional mineral feeding and carbon dioxide. Their content will require experience and effort. Conventional green plants do not need special care and grow with any priesthood. Before boarding any plant, cut the roots.
11
Burous and unstable elements or stones, of which the grotto is built, it is better to fix on silicone glue.
In a day or two, after the decoration of the aquarium and checking the equipment, you can run first residents (a pair of ampullary snails, shrimp or tritons). Fish are allowed no earlier than in a week.
