Since the fish tank is used as an ornamental decoration, its placement in the home is very particular. The editor here makes some suggestions: It is best not to face the door, because the door is the only place where wealth is generated. If the fish tank is facing the door, the wealth energy contained in the fish tank will be dispersed as soon as the door is opened. Going out means dispersing wealth. So, if you need to use a fish tank in your home decoration, what should you pay attention to when placing the fish tank?
What should we pay attention to when placing the fish tank?
1. The fish tank placed at home should not be too big or too high. According to Feng Shui, if the water is too high, it will be a disaster, which will make the family's fortune difficult to change and suppressed. Therefore, when buying a fish tank, it does not have to be very big or tall, it just needs to be suitable and good-looking.
2. Do not place fish tanks behind seats. It is inappropriate to use water as a backing, because water is impermanent, and it is difficult to find stability if you rely on it as a backing. We can put the fish tank next to the sofa, which is a very good choice. You can sit on the sofa and watch TV and enjoy the fish at the same time.
3. The fish tank must not collide with the stove. Because the fish tank is mostly filled with water, and the kitchen stove belongs to fire, and "water" and "fire" conflict, so if the fish tank in the living room forms a straight line with the kitchen stove, it will violate the taboo of conflict between water and fire.
4. It is best not to have sharp corners in the shape of the fish tank. The worst thing to avoid is that some fish tanks are made into a triangular fire shape, which is easy to make mistakes. It is best to have a round, oval or quadrangular shape, which can be regarded as a lucky tank. Because circles and squares have very good meanings in China.
You can use the following picture as a reference:
Nowadays, most people buy their aquariums directly from the Internet, but the Internet is opaque. In the information age, we cannot see many things. In order to save costs, many manufacturers make material replacements to cater to consumers' greed for cheap. Even though you get what you pay for, there are some joints in the aquarium. We aquarists still need to pay attention, otherwise it will easily cause trouble in future fish farming.

How should we choose when choosing an aquarium?
1. The material of the aquarium
It is best to choose acrylic glass. Acrylic, also called PMMA or organic glass, has strong toughness and is not as fragile as ordinary glass. It is relatively light, has high light transmittance, good stability, is resistant to corrosion from many chemicals, and has good processing properties. , both thermoforming and mechanical processing can be used.
Then, when we choose acrylic glass, we should not let some businesses confuse the concept. For example: some aquariums use acrylic as signboards, but everyone should pay attention to where the acrylic is used. Sometimes merchants just use acrylic materials on the edges of the bags, but then they sell them as acrylic aquariums.
2. Aquarium filtration system
I believe everyone knows that the quality of fish farming largely depends on the quality of your water. If the filtration is good, the water quality will not be much different. Therefore, choosing an aquarium filtration system is a very important part of purchasing an aquarium. If the filtration is not good, the water for your fish will not be much better.
Moreover, a good filtration system can keep the water pure for a long time, eliminating the need for water changes for a long time. Generally speaking, aquarium filtration is divided into side filtration, upper filtration and lower filtration. In the aquarium industry, it is recognized that the filtration effect of the lower filter is the best, followed by the side filter, and the upper filter is relatively inferior.
3. Lighting equipment of the aquarium
This may be something that fish lovers tend to overlook. For aquariums, the most vulnerable to damage is the electrical equipment. Most aquariums The lighting equipment is installed on the tank. After the water in the tank continues to evaporate, over time, the water vapor will corrode the circuit joints of the lighting equipment, causing damage to the electrical equipment. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to this when buying an aquarium. Lighting It is best to keep the equipment away from moisture.
4. Look at the after-sales service of the product
For any current product, whether you buy it online or in a physical store, you should pay attention to the after-sales service in advance, such as how long is the warranty period? What is covered under warranty? Which ones are not covered by warranty? What is the warranty? For example, how do merchants usually deal with leaks in aquarium tanks, whether they should be sent for repair or replacement, etc. These need to be clarified with the store in advance.
5. Logistics situation
Nowadays, whether you buy it online or in a physical store, large and medium-sized aquariums are generally delivered through logistics (that is to say, even In a physical store, what you see at that time is just a sample). But where the delivery will be delivered, whether it will be picked up at the logistics point or downstairs at home, and whether it will be helped to move upstairs, these also need to be clearly communicated with the store to save unnecessary trouble.

What are the common causes and solutions for turbid fish tank water?
Have you ever discovered that after raising ornamental fish for a period of time, the fish tank will become dirty and the water will become turbid, especially if such a large aquarium is placed there? So what can be done to solve it? Then you must first understand why the water is turbid, otherwise if you clean it casually, it will easily lead to the death of the fish. Here are a few common reasons that everyone encounters, and also compiled solutions for your reference:
1. Check the filtration equipment: The filter is like a trash can that collects waste. If you forget to clean it or the filter equipment is aging, it will affect the quality of the water body. The best solution is to replace the filter material. Filter cotton can also be added to improve the water quality filtration treatment effect.
2. There are impurities in the water: If there are more particles and impurities, it may be fish excrement or undecomposed feed. This is usually caused by overfeeding, so if the fish eats Unfinished feed should be fished out in time or fed less.
3. Algae reproduction: This problem is mainly caused by sufficient light and nutrient-rich water. It is recommended to change the water manually frequently and use an algae scraper for cleaning.
