Dutch

The middle of the aquarium should be decorated with connoisseled together with snapshots or construction of large-scale stones.
Natural

Garden stones
For most modern interiors of houses and apartments, enter the usual stylistics of the aquarium design is very difficult. So, Glass construction, decorated in a Dutch style, will not be able to harmoniously combine with the interior of the High Tech or Loft Apartments . Japanese designers managed to find a solution for such a complex question. They were able to compose aesthetics of jewelry, leaving most of the underwater space blank.
To do this, you will need to use only ordinary soil, sand, several stones, carpet type algae and a small flock of small fish. At the same time, stones play the most important role. It is enough to use only 4 natural elements, where 1 should have large sizes and be the main thing, 2 stones must be medium-sized dimensions and are additional.
But 4 Stone should be among the minimum sizes, and it is not necessary to use real stones, they can be purchased in pet stores.

Decorations
Before proceeding to creating a special design of the underwater interior, aquarist must be familiar with some rules, which should be guided not only at home, but also in industrial work.
- The most important thing is to care for underwater pets. They must be extracted from the aquarium and temporarily replancing into a separate reservoir with the familiar aquarium water, so that it will be possible to avoid the injuries and stressful states of the pets. After decorating, the fish are sent back to the aquarium with the same water.
- Special attention should be paid to the disinfection of decorative elements, which will be placed inside the glass design.
To date, each aquarist can decorate its aquarium with the most unusual elements. They can be purchased in almost any pet store, where there is a department for marine and freshwater creatures.
Experienced sales assistants will help you choose suitable layouts of castles, seashells, corals and even stones that will get an aquarium in accordance with the selected style.
Decorative background
Special attention of aquarists when creating a unique atmosphere inside the aquarium is paid to the decorative background. It is sold in the form of a colorful film with different images. The background is attached to the rear wall of the aquarium from the outside, which is not only convenient for a person, but also safely for the inhabitants of the aquarium. In the preparation of the composition, the elements of the internal design must be smoothly moved to the background edging, making an aquarium gets a visual volume.
In the nearby past in the markets it was possible to meet a decorative background with images corresponding to the underwater world. Today, everyone can acquire for themselves the most unusual monophonic films with a variety of color scheme As well as the most unusual drawings, such as stones of different shapes and sizes or bricks.

In large stores, you can purchase specialized sets in which stickers and layouts corresponding to the selected style of the aquarium space design. To date, there are volumetric decorative backgrounds, which are attached to the rear wall of the aquarium, but only from the inside. But experienced aquarists know that such a decoration can be dangerous for aquarium inhabitants.
If accidentally, the background film will break down, the fish will swim for it, the petomician does not work independently from this West.
Natural materials
Most aquarium layouts purchased for decorative design of the inner space of glass structures are made of synthetic resins. For this reason, before installing them inside the aquarium and launching pets, artificial decorations should be treated with a thermal method. Along with artificial elements, natural natural decorations are used with a wide demand, such as embellishments or stones. From the moment of the emergence of the idea of designing aquarium compositions, a lot of time has passed, and wooden sprigs still decline in the most unusual compositions at the bottom of the aquarium. Quite often, squigs are used as imitation of the roots of trees. In addition, you can create an unusual descent of the mountain slope.
In most cases, squigs are used as the basis for fixing the MCH, which is sold in the associated state and is fastened with threads to the ground. After some time, the green carpet grows and forms imitation of thickets. Some aquarists, acquiring natural snags or finding them on the street, do not process them, which may be planning to affect the state of water and the vital activity of the aquarium world.
Even this natural material must be boiled to rid a tree from harmful bacteria. By a similar scheme, natural stones are processed.
It is worth noting that the stone material, in contrast to the uniform sold in the pet shop, looks much more natural. Only with their assembly need to show some caution. Not all stones are suitable for decorating home aquariums, many of them allocate lime, which is harmful to living beings and plants. A quartz stone, basalt, granite or sandstone is best suited as decisive elements.
When forming a stone composition, it is important to take into account the future population of the aquarium, which they will be sizes, their features and preferences. For example, shrimp creation to label in small caves, and cyclidates are preferable to the grotto made of sandstone.
Live plants
Separate attention in the design of the aquarium is paid to plants, because they serve as fish as shelter and nutrition. In addition, they excrete oxygen, which is a very important advantage of seating living scenery.
The main thing is that the blooming vegetation is safe. Aquariumists who do not have experience in this matter are best to contact the specialized departure department, where sales assistants will be able to choose suitable living scenery, taking into account the growth rate, living fish and the size of a glass design. It is strictly forbidden to collect unknown varieties of plants in the wild and sear them within the aquarium.
The incorrectly chosen bush of even miniature sizes can be aquarium life.
Soil and sand
It should be extremely scrupulous to the question of choosing the soil. Beginner aquarists are encouraged to acquire ready-made soil mixtures, as it is extremely difficult to take into account all the criteria and features of the component of the components of the elements. For example, choose particles of the same size, pick up all the elements of the soil in the appropriate color scheme. Besides, It is important to take into account both the varieties of fish that will live in aquarium , decorative background and composite design.
In the fish, which will only grow living plants using an additional layer of primer, called Zoilo. It is located between the upper and lower blankets decorative ground. It Zoilo feeds the roots of plants useful vitamins and minerals. The same applies to the sandy bottom. Although aquariums for fish sand is rarely used.
artificial elements
Today, there are a huge variety of artificial decorations for aquariums, among which there are like miniature bushes plants and huge background wall is located inside the glass structure on the rear side. These walls can have the design of a hillside or underwater abandoned palace of the king, but it will be very interesting to watch in a decorative design image of the sunken Atlantis.
