Completing The Best Aquariums In 2020
Not only are the best fish tanks in 2020 important but rounding off your tank with the best decorations can make a normal fish tank even better…
Let’s take a look at some must-have items to make sure your new pet fish live a happy and healthy life.
1: Filter Media Roll
Filter Media Rolls are crucial to having a clean tank. They help clean food particles, both large and small, thanks to the 2 step cleaning process of this filter.
This specific filter made by Aquatic Experts is double layered, so it’s over two times stronger and more efficient than the typical Filter Media Roll. It is also cut to fit, so whatever size is needed, you’ll be able to cut it to size with ease.
It’s safe to use for both saltwater and freshwater, as well as environmentally friendly — important for the safety of your pet fish home since this will be in contact at all times.
2: Water Conditioner
Water Conditioner is essential to having an aquarium full of healthy fish. Tap water contains chlorine, which is highly toxic to fish. In addition, among the many other toxins found in tap water, these chemicals are especially dangerous to the fish in terms of breathing. This is because they irritate the fishes’ gills, so Water Conditioner is a must-have.
API Water Conditioner kills all of these chemicals almost instantly with its strong formula. 3 ml is enough to treat 10 gallons of tap water, so it will surely last you a long time and provide your fish with a safe environment.
3: GloFish Aquarium Gravel
GloFish Aquarium Gravel is a unique gravel; it features a fluorescent shine when your aquarium light hits it. It’s safe to say that anyone who gets a glance will surely be impressed.
This particular gravel will also help light up dark spots in your tank that can’t be reached, due to certain decorations.
4: Aqua Clear – Fish Tank 3 Stage Filtration Filter
Having a filter is very important to keep your fish tank clean and safe. That’s why this 3 stage power filter is a great item to add to your tank, especially if one is not included.
Stage 1 of this filter helps filter out large trash such as food particles as well as biological filtration, which is very important, and sometimes under looked.
Stage 2 helps remove unwanted colors and impurities resulting in a crystal clear tank.
Stage 3 will result in a great living space for beneficial bacteria and enhance the removal of ammonia and nitrites resulting in a healthy aquarium environment.
Fish Tank Decorations For The Best Fish Tanks in 2020
Here are a few decorations that will make your new aquarium stand out.
1: OrgMemory Artificial Aquarium Plants
These are made of an eco-friendly PVC material that is both non-toxic and soft to the touch. You can be confident it will never scratch your fish and remain safe for freshwater and saltwater alike.
They also do not require any maintenance and will never fade, nor leak any toxic substances into the water. These ornaments range from 10-30 cm tall, so they would be great for the aquariums found on this list.
2: SLOCME Aquarium Titanic Shipwreck
Decor for tanks is a must. We love everything from Star Wars fish tank decorations to Sponge Bob fish tank decorations, but this decoration is a sure bet to add a unique look to your new fish tank. This Titanic shipwreck is made from a non-toxic resin material, safe for freshwater or saltwater; and requires only minimal maintenance.
