Step 1: knowing details

Welcome in one step. I feel that before you go out and buy all of the stuff that you should know a few things about holding a fish tank.

If you have an aquarium you are going to need to put time and commitment.
Don’t try to do anything beyond your level.
You have weekly tasks.
(4) Fish are alive. treat that way.
Have plenty of paper towels ready

Step 2: Scout, a location

Okay, it’s time to find somewhere to bring the matter up. Find the room you want, maybe the living room for everyone to see or the bedroom for you and you to watch alone. Whene to find a place you need to consider a few things.
It shouldn’t be through any of the following:

Windows
Doors
Places where people go back and forth a lot.

Consider an area that it should be around:

near water sources
Area with a fair amount of space
electrical connections.

Step 3: lets buy! Main equipment.

Since it’s a bigginer tank, we don’t get into any serious aquascaping (so it’s like the natural inviroment of the fish) but if you are a fish store owner knows his stuff and can help you go for it.!
We’ll buy the fish later, initially with the equipment.

In the tank. We are a ten gallon tank establishment so you should purchase a glass or acrylic ten gallon tank. If you can buy a ten gallon aquarium kit (it usually contains chemicals, a tank, a filtration system, and a lid) that’s great, but you have to buy more. Slowly sounded expensive!

Lets say you don’t have a kit. You have to buy a cozy matching lid to go with the tank. frish one with a built-in light (such a fluorescent one) or you will have to set that up later.

Okay! We have a tank! lets move on!
Don’t say a kit or it didn’t come with a filter. Can buy these next! There are many different types of filters with many different ways to get the job done. You can start with a simple filter that hangs on the back of the container called a power filter, contains a sponge and activated carbon inserts.

Speaking of filters, lets buy a different carbon filter cartridge for your filter for when the other one should be changed. Also buy a foam tray.

Heater. A very important part of a tropical aquarium. Buying a heater that is rated for a ten gallon tank and not buying a cheap one is going to break. You should buy one with a built in thermometer that keeps the temperature constant. another thing we need to buy is a thermometer. They come as stickers that you can apply on the outside of the tank or more expensive cards that stick in the water on the inside of the tank.

Air pump. Why not? It provides your tank with vital nasal mucosa and can be used in conjunction with a movable decoration. buy an airstone to go with it. Also some hoses that the airline will fir tightly around its nozzle.

Chemicals

We need two chemicals. Prime Minister (chlorine, chloramines, ammonia cleaners, also detox, nitrite and nitrate, provides mucus coat) and Stress Zyme biological filtration boosters.

Buckets, etc.

Buy a bucket to be used only for the aquarium. Don’t do it clean with any chemical detergents. only with water. also a couple of nets and a clean gravel.

Last but not least, a power bar.

Step 4: lets buy! Gravel etc ..

Alright! Time for some cool stuff!
Gravel. So many different colors. Why not choose a combination of colors? Buy enough to cover about an inch from the bottom.

Plants. Lets go with plastic. Buy a few for your fish to hide

Ornaments. Buy some for your fish to hide.

Pnumatic? If you think you need to buy a clam, breast, or something else that will open and have vesicles, go ahead!

Background paper. Buy it by the mile.

Step 5: setting up the tank

No, no fish yet.
OK! Let’s start. First your booth where are you going to set up your aquarium. Before you put the tank on it, put the tank on a counter, display a little water, about inches, and check for leaks. It’s not very good when it’s fed up and licks.

Now place your tank on the stand. Take your gravel from the packages and put it in the tub or bucket you bought. With thoroughly water without
