An aquarium is a good thing to have at home. If we make the aquarium will be love, what we and our family would double. And it is easy to build one. Yes, it's true. Why go out and buy one when you can have the fun of this simple home project and do it myself? In addition, the advantage of doing it is obvious that the space in your tank is perfect as possible in the room, even if one does the job.

We enjoy an artificial scenethe deep sea, we have designed and manufactured in our own homes. How? Here's how we have a fish tank. Try a small tank first or ask the store attendant dimensions for a gallon glass aquarium 25.

1. It begins with the composition of the glass walls of the aquarium. Put two pieces of glass wall with their edges, one is on the back (below left), the other is waiting in a 90 degree angle (front ) flat. With their adjacentEdges. Glue the two pieces are on the periphery of two perfect squares on the bottom piece.

2. It would be useful to a tape on the outside of the circle, where the two pieces of glass in September This steady the edges together. The two perfect squares would help steady both glass pieces to form an angle of 90 degrees. Then place the edge silicone joint dry for 24 hours. With several more places we can use the same procedure with the remaining pieces of glass wall(Back) in the basin.

Now we are down, front, and stuck behind the walls of our aquarium.

3. Then we glue the side walls of our aquarium. We only have room enough silicone around the edges, where we would attach our side walls. Let the plant dry for another 24 hours.

4. Then turn the bowl upside down to put a seal on the outer edge after removing the tape. Make sure that all sides (bottom and walls) areclosed and then the strips of plastic or rubber. Then 6 hours, you can close the dry.

5. Make your aquarium stand up again and put the sealant on the rims and place plastic or rubber covering edges of the glass. Let the bar closed and edges to dry for another 24 hours.

6. The next day you fill the tank with water and watch for 12 hours. Repair to eliminate loss-first empty and dry the aquarium and the application ofSealant. Let dry and then fill with water. On the final refilling, place our accessories and wait for the water temperature equal to room temperature. Then for toxicity and pH balance with test strips control.

They have walls of glass cut to the glass shop and always wear gloves when handling cut glass. With the right instructions, materials and tools for our aquarium is fairly simple.
