Gallon Aquarium Dcor

Decorating your 55 Gallon Aquarium is always a fun, thought out process with lots of different options. Depending on the different aquatic life you have in your aquarium can help you decide what dcor best fits your 55 gallon aquarium. As shown in the compatibility chart certain aquatic life cannot coexist with live plants. In this case your best option would be artificial plants. Plants provide a great living environment for the fish, as most fish love to hide within the plants, making the fish happier and more secure in your aquarium. Artificial plants are much easier to maintain in your 55 gallon aquarium, however they will not produce oxygen that real plants do to help with using up the nitrogenous waste fish give out. Real plants are harder to maintain and need as much focus as your fish do. They require certain types of nutrients and need to be trimmed of dead or decayed parts. Most real plants will need certain lighting requirements. Artificial plants hardly ever have to be replaced and if dirty you can easily take them out and clean them. They dont need nutrients or to be trimmed which make them the easier choice in your 55 gallon aquarium, as they already have a close resemblance to real plants. There are two kinds of artificial plants: Silk and Plastic. Both come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. All fish can go with artificial plants but if you do choose to go the route of real plants, just remember certain fish as stated in the compatibility chart cannot coexist with real plants.

 A good way to decorate your 55 gallon aquariums is by adding rocks and wood, however it serves a bigger purpose than just being decorative. It helps make the fish feel more at home since it resembles the environment fish come from. It provides a safe place for fish to breed, spawn, and hide. Wood can help lower the PH levels in your 55 gallon aquarium and aids in anchoring certain plants and ornaments. When choosing your rocks and wood keep in mind the size of your fish, you dont want to overcrowd the tank. If you have bigger fish in your tank you might want to get bigger wood and/or rocks but not as much of it, so they will be able to hide within the decor. There are a few different types of wood you can choose from to help decorate your 55 gallon aquarium. Recommended wood for your aquarium include: Driftwood (make sure its aquarium safe and not just for reptile tanks), Bogwood, Mopani Wood, and Malaysian wood. Recommended rocks include: Lace rock, Slate, Lava rock, Limestone, Sandstone, and Quartz.

 Aquarium Ornaments are the most commonly used decorations for a tank. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and can really make an aquarium look amazing. Different types of ornaments range from castles to different multi colored coral. A commonly used ornament is ancient ruins or my personal favorite, ships. If your this is an aquarium for your kids or your letting your kid help you decorate it there a plenty of different ornaments that they would love. Disney characters such as Ariel and Nemo are adorable and a great idea for a childrens aquarium. With ornaments for your 55 gallon aquarium it all depends on what you like and its a lot fun to be creative and decorate.

 Backgrounds for your 55 gallon aquarium can drastically change the way your aquarium looks. They colorful ones that really make the aquarium look whimsical. For a more natural look they have ones with the ocean, coral, rocks, and fish. If your going for the natural look they really do have some beautiful backgrounds you can put in your 55 gallon aquariums. Just keep in mind which fish you have in the tank because if you put a coral background in a tank with goldfish or non tropical fish it would look kind of out of place and funny. Before purchasing your 55 gallon aquarium background be sure to remember to measure the width and length of your tank. Some backgrounds come with some kind of adhesive or suction to attach your background to your aquarium. Either way, backgrounds are a good way to make your 55 gallon aquariums look amazing and really stand out.
