As more and more families are raising fish, the species of ornamental fish are becoming more and more expensive. Many ornamental fish have very strict requirements on the living environment. To keep your beloved aquarium fish well, it is essential to buy a good large aquarium. Let me take a look at the things that need to be paid attention to when choosing a large aquarium.

Nowadays, most aquariums are purchased in aquarium shopping malls or online. Many manufacturers in order to save costs, especially if they want to adapt to the customer’s desire for cheapness, they replace materials. We aquarists still need to pay attention, otherwise it will easily cause trouble for future fish farming.

The material of the aquarium mainly depends on the glass material and the base cabinet material (if there is a base cabinet). Let me talk about the material of glass. There are many types of glass used in fish tanks in shopping malls. Common glass, tempered glass, acrylic glass, float glass, crystal glass, ultra-white glass and so on. The following briefly talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each glass.

1. Ordinary glass. It is cheap, not resistant to acid and alkali, has low light transmittance and low impact resistance after long-term use.

2. Toughened glass. Tempered glass is a kind of glass made by heating the glass to its softening point and then rapidly air-cooling. Under the same thickness, the impact strength and bending strength of tempered glass are several times stronger than ordinary glass, and the strength of tempered glass It has strong thermal stability and can accept severe temperature changes. However, tempered glass also has a shortcoming of death, that is, the four corners of the glass must be balanced, otherwise it will easily break into honeycomb particles, which cannot be compensated.
