Tower Aquariums Will Stand Out In Any Room!

By Jill Kaestner


Aquariums became living art pieces and eye-catching items of furniture which provide a impressive display in any home or office. For those with little space, tower aquariums are the best solution. These stately aquarium towers rise high and take up nominal floor space. They can be placed in a corner or maybe right in the centre to make an electrifying centrepiece. Due to their height they supply a superb viewing area and light illuminates the full length of the fish tank tower for a magnificent show of your fish.

With the employment of versatile acrylic, styles do not need to be normal but come in an intensive assortment of shapes to suit individual taste and room space. These shapes include triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon and octagonal aquarium towers.

They also come in a selection of colors to suit dcor and some makers provide alternative finishes to stands and headers like marble, wood, glass and silver. The highest tower aquariums reach up to 7 feet while the lowest are around 5 and a half feet. Bases are commonly found in the dimensions of 16"x16", 14"x14" and 12"x12". Capacities customarily vary between 20 and fifty 5 gallons. The larger tower fish tanks cost over $1000 while the littlest versions cost $500 and more.

Tower aquariums are rather more suitable as freshwater aquariums than saltwater aquariums as saltwater aquarium fish will survive best in long, wide tanks. It's also best to house tiny fish as, although there may be plenty of water in the column aquarium, fish have a tendency to swim horizontally not vertically and therefore the narrow width is more accommodating to little freshwater fish.

Some makers provide complete system fish tanks and aquariums which come with all of the obligatory aquarium supplies. Alternatively you can obtain the correct apparatus which should include high-capacity filter, aquarium lighting, extension twine, aquarium plants, under-gravel filtering, air pump and heater if stocking a tropical freshwater tank. A strong air pump is particularly important to guarantee good vertical circulation and aeration of water. Thanks to the height of aquarium towers, reaching down to the bottom of the tank for cleaning purposes needs you to buy a long handle brush or cleaning magnet.
