The wall mounted aquarium hangs like a framed piece of art but encompasses live fish. It is easy to see and enjoy your fish as they are mounted at eye level. With its ingenuity and eye pleasing design as well as limited maintenance the wall aquarium will become the centerpiece of conversation. Your home will receive a vibrant kick to the aesthetics from this moving picture on your wall. We are just beginning to understand how stress affects our health and how important it is to relax. One of the many benefits that a wall mounted aquarium provides is its effect on a persons mind, body and spirit. Tranquility and harmony takes over and will help reduce your stress and improve your health. The aquarium will have an over all calming effect.
They are made with half tempered safety glass in an ordinary tank. They hang on ordinary wall studs and do not take up valuable floor or cabinet space. They are available in various colors and sizes from as small as two feet wide up to thirty feet wide. A small aquarium can weigh seventy five to one hundred pounds when full and a large one can weigh close to three hundred pounds when full of water. They also come with a beautiful scenic background or you may design one yourself. Some color options for finishes are natural grain, mahogany, cherry, red walnut, oak, black and stainless steel.
Wall mounted aquariums are sure to please any level of experience from a fish hobbyist to an active fish keeper. An important advantage of wall mounted from a regular tank is if you have small children or pets they are mounted out of reach. Accidents can happen and at least you can be reassured that this tank can’t be tipped over.
You can purchase fresh water and salt water aquariums. The advantage here is fresh water tanks. They are easier to maintain and the fish are less expensive. Salt water fish colors are beautiful, but they usually are large and this becomes an issue with this type of tank.
I would suggest you consider having a professional install the wall mounted aquarium. The advantage is that all the cables and equipment can be professionally hidden. All you will have to do is add your fish and plants. If you choose to install yourself the filters and heater come already installed. You need to set the heater by simply turning a dial. With steel brackets securely fix and level your aquarium then carefully slide onto the brackets. Once the aquarium is mounted you can fill it right away with lime free water.
The aquarium comes with water treatments that will condition the water. You then turn it on and let the aquarium sit for five days. To let the filters mature start adding about five fish every week until your tank is fully stocked. It is very important that you be patient and introduce the fish in small amounts rather then all at once. That would be a recipe for disaster. The wall mounted aquarium limits your fish selection to smaller fish. The fish size is limited to the width of the tank.
There are numerous companies that have websites online devoted to selling wall mounted aquariums. There are some that offer options custom made to your specifications. Your end result from this purchase will be hours of enjoyment and will add value to your home.
This art treasure will amaze your friends and family while beautifying your surroundings.
