Buid Your Own Aquarium (Proces Analysis Essay )

Aquarium is one of the most relaxative things which you can find in a house. But it may be quite expensive and it’s not easy to build an aquarium. Of course you can buy one but hand-made aquariums are more valuable there is your labour on it.



To build a good aquarium at first you must decide what kind of breed you will feed. Because your aquariums size and shape depends on this factor. And also accesories you’ll use in your aquarium are linked with this factor. Because every fish breed has it’s own necessity. For example Beta fish need a small aquarium and there must not be any oxygen machines in their tanks. And also there must be a lot of weeds in a Beta tank. But just the opposite guppies need more than one oxygen machine even in a 30 liter tank. And in addition to his there musn’t any weed (artificial or natural) because if you place some weed in a guppy tank you’ll see that that they will eat the weeds away..


Secondly we must decide abaout our decorations. What kind of weed, what kind of oxygen machine, what kind of food. . . This stage is very important for our fish’s health. For example a Beta likes and need rocky bottoms and will be happy and away from stres in such an aquarium. While guppies like sandy botttoms. A guppy which lives in a aquarium that has sandy bottomlives longer and looks more attractive than a guppy which lives in an aquarium that has rocky bottom. Weed is another important accesory. For example sword weed is a very good accesory for a healthy leopard sucker and catfish. But it is also a poisonous weedso this weed is very dangerous in weed eaters such as guppies tank.


The next step is building the aquarium we decided about. Firstly go to a glass seller and buy 5 pieces of glass with the correct size for your dream aquarium. And buy two silicoon guns. If you haven’t used a silicoon gun before you can learn it form the seller. It’s very easy to use. After you glued the glasses with your silicoon guns with the each other find a razor blade and smooth the corners. Be carefull about overflowed silicoon bcause plastic is an extreem poison for all kind of fish. Later wash it with waterbut don’t use any soap or another chemical. Wait until it dries and place your accesories. After this prepare the bottom of your aquarium. But do this just in this order to prevent unexpected events. Forexample if you first prepare your aquariums bottom and then add the accoseries , you may see some of your accesories swimming randomly with your fishes. We must preape the bottom at last because we must use sands, rocks or Stones to stack our accesories. Remember the fishes ( fish) very vulnerable. Now fill the aquarium with the water and watch it carefully. Be sure that there is no water leaking from the aquarium and all accesories are just in it’s place. And finally go to a pet shop and buy a fish. If you want to feed more than one fish just buy 2 fish for this time. If fish or the fishes manage to live 5 days in your aquarium it’s safe for more fish. Now go to pet shop again and buy as much as fish you want to feed .


All the work is done and your aquarium is ready. Now you can spend your spare time watching your new aquarium instead of tv or PC.But don’t forget it may cause addictivity.
