A Corner Fish Tank For A Small Room

An empty space in your house may be unoccupied, and you may have thought of putting up some things there. You can have a round table with a huge vase on it, or the vase alone on the floor, a huge corner fish tank, or anything that suits your setting. At most times, especially among fish enthusiasts, having a corner fish tank is very common, for it not only looks good at the corner and beautify the room; it also makes use of the unused corner. The Different Shapes Most of the times, a corner fish tank is used as a decorative aquarium more rather than just being a hobbyist object like other types of aquariums. Unlike other stand alone aquariums or fish tanks, a corner fish tank usually comes in a shape of triangular, trapezoidal, pentagonal, or hexagonal. Questions may arise for those who do not know as to why corner fish tanks have more variety of shapes compared to normal fish tanks which only the shape of rectangular or square are famous. The answer is simple; most of the times it is intended for decorative purpose. And when it comes to decorative purposes, you would have to put something really good to attract people to turn and look at the corner, a place which in most houses is just left empty. In most places, this is very beneficial because such unusual shapes would allow for equally unusual aquascapes, which when done properly may appear extremely good. In fact it can be really striking if you can expose the corner with the beautiful corner fish tank at maximum level. The best part of this type of fish tank is that it can go well with anything located currently at the corner and not necessarily have to remove the thing and put in the new fish tank. For example, if you had a book shelf located right at the corner, and you decide to make the place look more striking and add a trapezoidal corner fish tank, you can indeed use the bookshelf as the base. Better still, there are some makers which are very creative when it comes to this. Instead of just having an empty base below the corner fish tank, they integrate it with other things such as the bookshelf again. And in most cases, the fish tanks are built-in planted open-top corner tank and they would be higher than other common stand alone fish tanks.

poor guppies
Another one of the guppies died today, they really do drop off with depressing regularity. Hopefully there isn’t anything that we’re doing wrong, water conditions seem normal, everybody else is fine it’s just the particular ones that has trouble.

Water change
Just the normal, did 4 buckets of change and swapped the white wool filter at the top, and also one of the fine blue ones. We went to local fish shop the other day and got a batch of the filter media, they commented that we were buying a lot but I didn’t really see [...]

Blue Milli with White Polyps Page Added.

snails again
Well i’ve ordered 4 different snails will be arriving in the post sometime. I’m getting them delivered to work, now i don’t expect this to be a problem cos it’s accepted that we will get stuff sent there, but a box of water labelled “livestock” might be one of the more interesting things to turn [...]

ORP Dropped.
Figures after my recent positive ORP posting that yesterday I found it at 288 which is a sign of a problem and shows one of the assets of monitoring ORP. A rapid sudden drop is the cue to take a close look.

I took a look around yesterday and found my Gold Tear Drop clam dead in its shell and removed it. Today the ORP reading is back to 310.
