7 best firms aquarium manufacturers
Choosing a cozy and functional home for fish
Author: Anna Sapelkina
A modern aquarium is not a simple glass jar, but a whole system designed to create an underwater masterpiece. Aquariums are a beautiful decoration, they humidify the air and help fight stress, showing us the beauty of the underwater world.
Somewhere you can find magnificent underwater gardens or coral reefs, and somewhere a dull vessel with muddy water, plastic plants and sick fish - it all depends on the knowledge and skills of the owner. But the aquarium begins, in the full sense of the word, along with water, soil, equipment and inhabitants, primarily with the acquisition of the glass house itself, “banks”, as aquarists say.
A number of manufacturers are represented in pet stores that produce everything necessary for the maintenance of underwater inhabitants. There are both publicly available budget options and professional ones. The models vary in size and shape, but each aquarium manufacturing company also has its own characteristics.
