Location selection based on lighting and space conditions
The aquarium should be placed in a ventilated location, with sufficient suitable light but avoid direct sunlight for a long time. Direct sunlight can cause water temperature to rise, promote algae growth and affect the fish's habitat.
The pool area also needs to have a flat, sturdy floor and be sufficiently load-bearing. For large pools, the load-bearing capacity of the floor should be checked before installation.
Avoid placing the aquarium in locations that are inconvenient or potentially risky
Aquariums should not be placed in walkways, corridors or places where people often pass by because they are prone to collisions, and also cause difficulties for hygiene and care. Aquariums should also not be placed in the bedroom if the sound of filters, bubble guns or light from devices can affect sleep.
In addition, it is necessary to avoid placing the tank near stoves, heating devices or places with strong temperature changes. Electrical equipment of the tank such as filters, heaters, and lights need to be arranged safely, limiting the risk of water leakage contacting the power source.
Prioritize convenient locations for tank care and monitoring
The aquarium should be placed in an easy-to-observe place so that farmers can detect abnormal changes in fish, water quality, or filtration systems early. The space above and around the aquarium should also be wide enough for convenient feeding, water change, cleaning, and equipment maintenance.
For each type of fish and tank system, the requirements for temperature, lighting, water filtration and living environment may also vary. Therefore, the location of the tank should be chosen based on the characteristics of the fish, tank size and actual conditions of the house, instead of applying a fixed formula to every space.
