1. When setting up a new fish aquarium, you must remember NOT to purchase the fish and put it in the same day. There is a very high chance it'll be the last time you will see it again.
2. Aquarium may take a large space in your house so if you are sharing it with your households, do remember to ask permission first as we don't want it to shatter to pieces should you guys involve in a fight.
3. When purchasing the equipment for a tank, don't be afraid to ask questions. Everyone has their own preference as far as filters and equipment goes. Asking others how they have their tank set up and what filters they have can prevent you from trying different types of pumps and wasting your money. Aquarium standard sizes range from 1ft, 2ft, 3ft, 4ft and 5ft so choose wisely because you don't want to be moving your fishes to a new home every now and then. It's costly too!
4. Once done, wash your aquarium thoroughly and make sure the pump and filter are all in working condition. Fill the water up full and see if there's any cracks available, if there is, head down to the nearest hardware store and seal it with a silicone base glue if possible. If not, don't waste your time trying to fix it as you should have checked way before you purchase the aquarium :P
5. Leave the water for a week preferably and add about a kilo of salt into the water and that should stabilizes it. After that, your job is nearly completed and the rest is just the matter of choosing your favourite fish and you are done!!
6. Chill and relax with a cup of tea, raise your eyebrow with arrogance and say... "i did it...."
More tips are to come. Stay tuned
