Aquariums can still be the focal point of a room while being tucked into a corner and out of the way. A corner aquarium tank is the perfect way to bring the beauty of live fish into a room while not interrupting the flow of a room. Here are some things to consider before making your purchase.
Budgeting
Setting up corner fish tanks can quickly become pricey, so it’s essential to set a budget. You should consider the following questions to determine how much money you’re likely to spend.
- How large of a tank are you looking for?
- What sort of filtration system would you like to set up?
- Are you looking to get fresh or saltwater fish?
- How many fish would you like to get?
- Are you interested in common or rare fish?
A great aquarium seller will be able to guide you through some of these questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask.
Location
Unused or underutilized corners are perfect for corner aquarium tanks because they leave open wall space for conventional furniture such as TVs and desks. Ideally, you’ll want to put a tank somewhere with high foot traffic so it’s viewed often. You’ll also likely need an outlet for the tank and lighting.
Measuring
Lastly, you’ll need to measure the space before choosing an aquarium. An aquarium that’s too large will stick out. Be sure to also take into account the stand the aquarium will be sitting on. Your floor needs to be strong enough to withstand around 400-500 pounds, as aquariums can become pretty heavy after adding water and fish.
