Where aquariumPlacing the aquarium in the right place is essential. Place an aquarium in direct sunlight can be too hot, and the cycle of illumination you want to alter with the lighting of its own tank. Place the tank in a place where normally only filtered light from windows. Wash thoroughly before anything inside the tank. You can use salt water and soap, but not as soap residue can kill are not all equal fish.Substrates then your substrate (gravel), plants and other structures such as logs or driftwood and all was well. One way is to wash the substrate into a pasta / vegetable strainer and run water through it. You can choose between three sizes of substrate, small stones and pebbles, stones and pebbles, medium, or large stones that may cover a large part of the bottom of the tank. The best option is in the middle – the size of the rocks and pebbles. No matter what the background is, everyone referred to it as the gravel. Some types of substrate may affect the pH of the water. Stay away from the board, shell, onyx and volcanic rock, geodes, quartz, dolomite, limestone and similar substances.Aquarium clean fill upPut its substrate in the aquarium and heating plants and other structures. Wash all of them so that any disease can be transferred once the fish is placed in the tank. Then setup freshwater aquarium means filling the tank with water. Try using distilled water, which has been at room temperature. If you use a water faucet and your city or town, use a chlorine remover aquarium each time you add new water before adding to the tank. Place the heater in the tank, we will adjust to the temperature of the water before it up (15 minutes) and then install the tank and light hood.Patience is a virtue, and plugging everything back on. And very patient. The aquarium has to go through a cycle of nitrogen, which can take up to six weeks. After testing the pH level, ammonia levels, nitrates and nitrites. If everyone within range (the set of testing instructions to control level), you can start adding the fish in the tank twelve fifty-eight time.Remember, the aquarium is a hobby lifetime, so wait a little longer during the early configuration of freshwater aquarium is actually a good thing, because this will lead to healthy fish. Will require the water to test these different chemicals forever so both fish and plants thrive. Patience brings many advantages, especially when you consider how much fun you'll have to look at his fish.
