Hand Built in UK
These stunning aquarium and cabinet sets are designed and built right here in the UK. All aquariums are built to order meaning your tank is unique and made just for you. This does mean they can have a wait time of up to 4 weeks, but we promise you they are certainly worth the wait!
How easy it is to set up an aquarium?
Place the tank on a sturdy, level surface away from direct sunlight and drafts. Rinse the tank, substrate (like gravel or sand), and ornaments with water—don’t use soap. Plug in and test all equipment such as heaters, filters, air pumps, and lights. Remember to make sure the heaters are fully submerged before turning them on.
Spread the substrate evenly at the bottom of the tank. Arrange your decorations—rocks, plants, and ornaments—how you like. When filling the tank, add a water conditioner to remove chlorine and other chemicals from the tap water, then gently pour the water to avoid disturbing the substrate.
Add a bacterial supplement to help cycle your tank, it can take a couple of weeks for the environment to become safe enough for your fish to thrive in. Make sure to regularly use test kits to monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.
Maintain your aquarium by doing weekly water changes of 10-20%, cleaning or replacing filter media as needed, and regularly checking water quality and fish health.
What else should be brought?
- Tap water conditioner - eliminates chlorine and chloramines from tap water, making it safe for fish.
- Test kits - monitor key water parameters such as pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels to ensure the best water conditions.
- A thermometer is crucial for keeping track of water temperature, especially for tropical fish.
- fish food that is suitable for your fish species, along with occasional treats.
- A net is important for safely transferring fish without causing stress or injury.
- A gravel vacuum or siphon will help clean the substrate and perform water changes.
- Lighting- to ensure the growth of plants and fish
- Filters- remove any unwanted chemicals that are unsafe for the fish
- If you wish to have a tropical tank, please ensure you have a heater. Our heater range can be found at the following link: https://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/aquarium-products/heaters.
- Decorations (aquarium background, live or artificial plants, rocks, wood, ornaments) to create hiding spots and a more natural environment.
- Air pump and air stone can help improve oxygenation and water circulation.
- Extra filter media on hand to replace as needed when it becomes dirty or worn out.
- Dedicated bucket for aquarium tasks to avoid contamination from household cleaning products
- Tweezers or forceps are handy for planting live plants or rearranging decorations.
- A quarantine tank is valuable for isolating new or sick fish to prevent disease spread.
- Fish medication for common issues like ich or fin rot.
What species of fish will be suitable for this aquarium?
This aquarium is perfect for cooler water fish such as goldfish, minnows, and danios. Minnows like White Cloud Mountain Minnows and Rosy Red Minnows are hardy and colourful, while Zebra Danios are active and add dynamic movement to the tank. All these species thrive in cooler temperatures, making them ideal for this setup.
If you decide to add a heater, you can expand your options to include warmer-water fish. With a heater, you can accommodate a diverse range of tropical species, including South American and African cichlids, as well as L-number plecos. These fish prefer slightly warmer temperatures, typically ranging from 22-26°C. Adding a heater allows you to create a more varied and vibrant aquatic community.
If you're unsure which fish to choose, visit your local store or check out our detailed databank for information on our extensive range of fish species. You can explore it here: https://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/databank.
