Let's begin by first choosing the right location to place your tank.
Make sure the aquarium fits in your house!
You might want to consider these few important facts when finding the perfect spot.
  • Access to electricity supply
  • Good lighting - Natural or Artificial
  • Make sure that the surrounding space is wide enough - This is important to ensure that no untoward incident such as accidental knocking could take place especially if you have to move between tight areas. Place it on a location whereby there are wide-open spaces around the aquarium left available. It is a good idea to have gaps between 12- 15 inches apart from the nearest object. This is also important to ensure that daily routines such water changing could be done easily without bumping into objects.

  • Avoid being too close to a heat-emitting source like a heater or a fireplace.
