When we talk about accessories, we are not referring only to objects of decoration. We also talk about having elements that can facilitate your heating and hygiene.
Filters for aquarium water
The first step is to choose the ideal aquarium for your home, or consider the species that will inhabit your interior. After this decision, it will also be important to pay close attention to your filtering system.

Fish spend their whole lives underwater, and it is in them that they feed, reproduce, and breathe. Therefore, maintaining this vital element is critical for any aquarium.

Three basic types of aquarium filters are available in stores: indoor, outdoor and 'backpack type'. The choice will depend on the type of aquarium and the volume of water inside it.

Office Supplies
Lighting is another essential aspect of preserving life inside your aquarium. In general, freshwater aquariums require LED lights.
We calculate 0.4W for each liter of water.  In salt water environments, the ratio is changed to 0.6W per liter in LEDs.

Having chosen good lighting, it is important to regulate the light intensity inside the aquarium. In winter , light can help us fight the cold and prevent some species from entering hibernation.

In addition, plants need light to carry out their photosynthesis and survive. It is important that we can provide between seven and eight hours of light on colder days.

With the arrival of summer, lighting can increase water temperature and favor the proliferation of algae and pathogens.
To avoid contamination, it is important to reduce the number of hours of daylight to the aquarium.

In an analysis of the exposure time, it is advisable to respect a maximum of five hours per day of solar incidence to guarantee an optimum temperature.

Substrate for aquarium background
Normally, few people look at the bottom of an aquarium, since fish and plants tend to get all the attention.
However,  this area contributes enormously to the beauty and balance of life.  It is necessary to take into account some specific care, such as choosing the ideal substrate.

The most popular substrates are sand and gravel, which can be found in specialty stores.
For optimum positioning, we must cover every bottom of the tank. Then we also put some substrate in the back, to create depth and improve the aesthetics of the aquatic environment.

Landscape Panels
Currently, there is a tendency to place panels simulating landscapes on the back of aquariums to complement the aesthetics of a three-dimensional aquatic environment.
The result of this decoration allows to emphasize the colors and shapes of the fish, besides improving the notion of depth.
Fish Shelters
The shelters are great accessories for your aquarium and are very attractive to the fish . In the stores, there are hiding places of diverse forms, like caves, rocks, shipwrecks and even archaeological figures.

In addition to beautifying the environment, these elements provide fish a safe and quiet place to rest.

Plants: The Living and Naturally Beautiful Accessories for Your Aquarium
Plants should not only be considered as an accessory for your aquarium. In fact, they are vital living elements for the balance of any aquatic ecosystem.
In addition, they greatly embellish fish tanks, although they also require specific responsibility and care.
Before you include plants in your aquarium, it is essential to take some precautions. You need to know your physical characteristics and needs: color, appearance, height, natural ecosystem, adaptability to pH , need of light, etc.

Knowing the plants we use in the aquarium is important to ensure that this vegetation can adapt well.
Finally, we must know that it is important to keep the simplicity in the decoration of our tanks. When choosing accessories for your aquarium, it is important to be careful not to overload the environment.

In addition, it is always advisable to choose objects that combine well with each other and do not interfere with the locomotion of the fish.
