The Aquarium - Information and Advice
Whether you have an aquascape, a community aquarium, a marine reef or a nano cube with dwarf shrimp, it is and remains an aquarium, where the main goal is to create a functioning ecosystem for its inhabitants, be they fish, invertebrates or aquatic plants. Since questions about the basic topics of the aquarium hobby come up regularly, our Aquascaping Wiki also has an "Aquarium" category that covers more general topics. Even when it comes to the construction and equipment of glass tanks, there are a number of differences. What is the difference between white glass and float glass? Does it make sense to cover the aquarium, or is an open tank more beautiful after all? These are just a few examples of the questions we cover in detail here.
Of course, an aquarium inevitably needs regular maintenance. A regular water change isn't just important for supplying fresh water. It also reduces substances that burden the aquarium system once they have built up too much. Likewise, new elements such as certain minerals, nutrients and vitamins that have already been used up in the aquarium can be replenished along with the fresh water. Various water conditioning products can also be used during a water change. Naturally, our Aquascaping Wiki also provides information about other cleaning and maintenance tasks in and around the aquarium.
Since aquariums are always firmly tied to their owner's home, changes in this environment often raise questions. What do I do with my aquarium while on vacation? Or how does a move with an aquarium work? In this category, we also provide the right guides on these topics for you.
