Tropical Fish Aquarium Equipment
What Equipment will I need for my aquarium?
Staring with the obvious, you'll need an aquarium.
There's a lot of choices of aquarium, so firstly, what size would be ideal?
If its for an everage size living room, a 3 foot aqaurium would be ideal and if you're feeling ambitious go for a 4 foot tank. Go for one with good depth and height dimensions too.
Some manufacturers such as Juwel include lights, heating and filiter in with the aquarium, as a complete kit. If not, you'll need to purchase the lights, heater and filter seperately. Find out more on the relevant section of the website.
Other equipment you'll need includes:-
An aquarium thermometer.
A net for catching fish.
A syphon for water changes.
An algae magnet.
