Product Information

Ultimately, owning a tower tank can be easy and well worth the experience as long as you can keep up with it and care for it properly. Understanding what type of water environment and pressure the fish of your choice prefers and can handle is also going to go a long way in the process of setting up your tank correctly. The least preferred fish type for a tower tank is going to be anything small. They just won't fill out and decorate the tank properly unless they are mixed in with larger fish to balance it out. It is also important to be aware that tetras which are a small fish but favorable, tend to float to the top of the water tank and since they are jumpers you'll want to make sure you have a secure tank top or you're going to experience a lot of trouble. Tower & column aquariums have become a highly popular way of having a fish tank. Shapes vary from hexagonal to round to oval. Ranging from only 18 inches tall to 6 foot high they can be compact and bijou or imposing and striking.

Aeration can also be a problem in the taller of these tanks. A water flow system must be able to move the oxygen rich water to the bottom of the tank. This usually proves to be no problem when a tank is not taller than it is wide. The tower tanks however can have 6 feet depth for the flow system to cope with. Low oxygen in the bottom of the tank will result in a breakdown of fish waste building up noxious gases which can be harmful to the fish.Fish will grow in size, which is something to be mindful of in these calculations, but if you are unsure it’s always best to enquire at your local fish emporium for advice. Make sure to ask how many of a particular breed would be a suitable number for your tank, and which combinations of breeds are a good match. What other features are important to a fish tank? This premium-priced tank has all the high-quality extras you could possibly ask for. The 307 external filter is both efficient and powerful enough to keep the water clean, and the 300W heater is ample to accommodate any tropical beauties in your tank. Tank maintenance can also be a nightmare as it is impossible to get your hand to the bottom of a tank that is as tall, or taller than you. This can be solved however by buying specialized cleaning brushes for tower fish tanks. Advice For Owning Column Aquariums

The Tetra Starter Line is a great choice for – as the name suggests – those looking for their first tank.The quiet-running filter is a boon if you’re planning to keep the tank in a bedroom, and the specification is ample for a tank of this size. Crucially, given the 54 litre capacity, it’s very reasonably priced – tanks this size can cost three times as much – which is why we rate it so highly.
