How to make your own fish tank

Homemade fish tanks are as follows:

Material preparation: glass, glue, plastic pipe and biochemical cotton.

Operating steps:

1, first make a rectangular fish tank, then we need a piece of glass, cut it into three pieces with a glass knife, and the size should be just smaller than the width of the fish tank. You can put it directly in the fish tank, put three pieces of glass in it, and then fix it with glass glue. It is best to put more glass glue to prevent it from being fixed.

2. Then on the side of the fish tank against the wall, make a small rectangular reservoir on the three glass strips just fixed. The length is preferably the same as that of the fish tank. If it is wide, it is about 15CM to 30CM.

3. Then we divide the small reservoir above the fish tank into four sections with five pieces of glass that can just be inserted. The reason for this division is that biochemical cotton and the like can be put in and filtered.

4. After the glass baffle is made, we come out and turn two eyes at the water inlet and the water outlet, so that the pipe can enter from the water inlet and then the water can flow out from the water outlet. Then we need to buy a submersible pump, put it under the water inlet of the fish tank, and then put the pipe at the water outlet of the pump out of the glass hole.

5. After the pump pipe is finished, put the filter cotton in the first section of the filter tank, that is, the first tank where the pumped water enters, and then put a large number of ceramic rings in the back tank to cultivate nitrifying bacteria. It's best to coat all the places where glass glue should be coated to prevent water leakage, and then turn on the oxygen pump to test whether there is water leakage, if not, it can be completed.
