Your First Aquarium

Aquariums can sometime appear intimidating. All you need to remember is to follow a few simple steps:

  1. Dont rush into things, take your time.
    1. you need
      • An aquarium, the most you can afford personally I recommend a 20 gallon or larger (i will explain later)
      • gravel, usually 1 to 1.5 pounds per gallon.
      • a lid (usually with a light) some fish have a tendency to jump.
      • filter Usually buy a filter that will handle an aquarium double the size
      • optional a heater unless you plan on having only goldfish. There is a vast selection of tropical fish.
      • Some kind of a sturdy stand, full aquariums can weigh in excess of 10 pounds per gallon in weight.
  2. When you get home
