If you bought small fishes and an aquarium, but did not take care of its internal furniture (and can just money was not enough), then the way out can be found of such situation. It is necessary to make or look only with own hand for jewelry for an aquarium.
Instruction
1. To decorate a bottom of an aquarium it is possible to use natural materials, for example, motley and bright stones, smooth or chipped. Orange or red and crimson color of a stone will tell you about its saturation iron. You should not use such stones for decoration of an aquarium because they will oversaturate water iron.
2. It is also possible to use figured pieces of shell rock, sandstone or tufa. Only at first disinfect them, having cleaned them a rigid brush under flowing water, having rinsed and having calcinated minutes 5-10 in an oven.
3. Intricate wooden backs – snags will well add an overall picture of an aquarium too. Them it is necessary too in the certain way to process. At first process a surface of a snag a file. Having given it the necessary form, polish (at will). Then boil a snag within 10-12 hours. To boil continuously optional. You can boil in salty water with breaks (on 1 l of water of 30 g of salt). Salty later, lower a snag in fresh water and you boil it there. Change fresh water from time to time. When water ceases to grow turbid, it is possible to stop boiling.
4. After boiling it is better to cover a surface of a snag with a thin layer of epoxy resin or polyester. It is necessary that the snag in water did not decay. It is the most correct to use the snags caught from a natural reservoir. Will be them to grind enough and 1-2 hours to boil in fresh water.
5. The bottom of an aquarium can be decorated with natural shells also. Only at first boil down them and wash out. Then shells should be calcinated. Only it is not necessary to be fond strongly of natural shells – they collapse over time and saturate water with calcium. Water in an aquarium from it becomes more rigid. If you decided to use shells at registration of furniture of your aquarium, plant in an aquarium several plants absorbing calcium – a rogolistnik, a blestyanka, a spring moss or horsetails.
6. Very beautifully at the bottom fragments of glass, rounded by sea look. They are boiled before laying too. And also do not forget about soil. Better in an aquarium to apply dark soil, such as dark sea sand or sea gravel.
