According to water composition

According to the characteristics of the water and habitat, aquariums can be marine, freshwater, pseudo-marine or brackish water. The set of necessary tools for such aquariums includes various devices that ensure the maintenance of the required water parameters and the correct microclimate.

Freshwater aquariums are widely used and contain freshwater types of fish and plants. Maintenance of these aquariums is much easier than that of marine aquariums. They can be of various shapes and sizes and fit perfectly into the interior.
Marine - intended for the habitat of plants and fish accustomed to salt water conditions. Aquariums are large in size, since marine fish are large in size. They are quite difficult to maintain and require the necessary skills to create the correct chemical composition of water.
Brackish water is an intermediate type of aquarium that serves as a habitat for fish and plants in desalinated zones of estuaries and bays that can live in brackish waters. These subtropical inhabitants have managed to adapt well to changes in temperature, and can live in both cold and warm water.

Trading options

Aquariums of the trade line are intended for the sale of live fish and crayfish . The forms of the structures are maximally simplified and devoid of decorative elements. They also have a hole for draining water. Glass for commercial products has a thickness of 8-10 mm. The products use the same materials and components as other ZelAqua models.

High quality and reasonable price are a good opportunity to start your own business selling aquatic life. Transparent glass allows buyers to examine animals in small details, evaluate their characteristics and sizes.

Aquarium models are available from 290 to 500 liters in volume

Models are available from 290 to 500 liters. Dimensions are 120x40x60 cm, wall thickness is 8 mm. The cost of aquariums varies from 9 to 14 thousand rubles.

Having decided on the location of the aquarium and the purpose of its purchase, you can choose the appropriate option from the ZelAqua product catalog. Their cost depends on the configuration of the models. You can purchase both a budget tabletop option and an expensive product with a panoramic view for a large room.

By type of design

If we consider the classification of aquariums by design and manufacturing technology, then there are frameless, framed and seamless types.

Frameless - limited in size, made of organic glass. They are highly reliable and extremely transparent. They are lighter weight and do not require a massive stand. Eliminates exposure to harmful impurities and metals.
Frame - the structure is made of a special metal frame; they can be of any size. The condition for such aquariums is the constant presence of water in them, otherwise they may become unusable.
Seamless - most often these round-shaped aquariums are made of glass, acrylic, plexiglass and plexiglass. May have a curved shape. Used for keeping goldfish. The positive qualities of such aquariums include non-leakage, high transparency and thermal insulation of water.
Asbestos-cement - they contain asbestos fiber, cement and water. Can be built into cabinets, plastered or tiled.

Small-sized products

Aquariums with a small capacity (15-60 l) can be installed on a table or shelf . The products are made of polished silicate glass 1 mm thick. The underlay protects the integrity of the base of the structure and distributes the load.

An affordable price is ensured by reducing the cost of self-made products. All components are made from high quality materials. Models can have a simple design or designer decoration.

Product Lanta 15 is a rectangular aquarium with dimensions of 35x20x40 cm. It can be purchased for 1,300 rubles.

Lanta 40 with dimensions 50x25x40 cm is sold for 2,700 rubles, designed for 40 liters of water. The choice of colors is similar to other aquarium models.

By location

Based on their location, aquariums are also divided into floor-mounted, wall-mounted, screens, and diaramas. The design of such aquariums is designed for the size and shape of certain rooms or houses. These types are used for interior decoration.

A picture aquarium is a type of wall-mounted aquarium that is framed to create a picture-like effect. Requires proper placement and thoughtful care.
Built-in - planned at the construction stage of the premises and used in both private and public institutions. They can be built into a wall, arch, furniture and serve as a specific screen partition for zoning a room.

By area of application

Based on their application, aquariums are divided into decorative and special types.

Decorative aquariums serve as a design solution in the interior of a home, where the design and population of the aquarium are carefully thought out, and good gas exchange is calculated. These species are suitable for keeping adult fish. These include:

general or standard - suitable for beginners due to its versatility. It can contain different species of fish and plants from different geographical zones;
collection - consists of representatives of fish of the same family. Designed for aquarium specialists who monitor the development and growth of the population of a certain species of fish;
geographical - the type of such aquariums recreates the geography of the aquatic world, supporting the ethnic style of home interior design in the overall concept. For maximum realism, wallpaper is used on the back wall of the aquarium and decoration with various kinds of decorations;
open decorated - a specialized design of an aquarium without a lid or cover glass, composed of a kind of collage of plants, a fountain and the aquarium itself. Plants can grow and bloom above water;
species - contains one or more related species of fish, suitable for observing the behavior and relationships of fish;
biotope - the difference between such aquariums is achieved by the fact that they reproduce a copy of a certain area of the natural environment in the smallest detail. This freshwater aquarium is usually stocked with tropical fish;
Dutch - implies the primacy of vegetation in an aquarium, where the presence of fish is not necessary. This aquarium has an elongated shape and imitates an underwater landscape design;
Paludarium is a kind of water greenhouse that combines underwater and above-water plants. Characterized by high humidity;
aquaterrarium - serves for keeping both aquarium and terrarium animals leading a semi-aquatic life;
nano-aquarium - a modern miniature tank mainly with ornamental plants and fish;
Japanese "Amano" - an aquarium in a minimalist style, conveying decorative elements of the wild Amazon and accurately reproducing the ecosystem of this area;
mixed - a subspecies of an amateur aquarium containing several species of plants, fish and decorative items, combined according to the conditions of detention.

Special aquariums are designed for specific life support tasks for eggs and growing juveniles. Usually small rectangular in shape, where the water level is up to 35 cm. In turn, they are divided into:

spawning - used for breeding fish. The size of the spawning tank and all the necessary conditions of detention are selected individually depending on the species of fish. Sterility is important in such an aquarium. The size of spawning aquariums should be smaller than the main one for ease of catching eggs or removing dead eggs;
incubators - necessary for the support and development of eggs and fish larvae. The main conditions for these aquariums are optimal temperature and oxygen conditions, correct hydrochemical composition and purity of water;
quarantine and treatment isolators or jigging facilities - intended for the treatment or adaptation of new inhabitants. Parameters and design depend on the size of the fish. Conditions include hygiene, space and water quality control;
nursery - these containers look like a trough and are used for growing fry transferred from the spawning area in large quantities. The optimal size of such an aquarium is 150/45/60 cm. For uniform and healthy growth, the fry will need regular water changes, correct water parameters, and a variety of foods;
cultivators or feed - designed for the production of live food for fish in the form of crustaceans, rotifers, ciliates, algae and others. The correct selection of nutrition and growing conditions is important;
breeding - in purpose they resemble quarantine-therapeutic aquariums. They carry out selection work to develop new breeds, where they can simultaneously breed and treat fish.

Cylindrical - attractive and decorative, require proper placement to avoid visual distortion of the image.

Frameless aquariums

It’s even difficult to imagine how the aquarium industry would have developed without such a material as silicone rubber. Thanks to rubber, many things have become possible. For example, all frameless aquariums are held together thanks to this material. After all, anyone who has seen a frameless aquarium knows that there are no screws, frames or other elements characteristic of other types of similar structures. And this despite the fact that sometimes the volume of such a reservoir can be quite huge. You just need to go to any pet store to be convinced of the popularity of such aquariums; most people use them, for example, when selling fish. For the home, such an aquarium will also be a convenient and cheap solution, however, provided that the choice is made carefully and competently, otherwise you may end up with some problems with the purchase.

First of all, the main difference is the method of gluing the glass. There are only two such methods, but the difference in them is fundamental, both in reliability and, as a result, in the cost of the final product in the store. The best glass in this area is considered to be crystal mirror glass. If the walls of the aquarium are made of it, then the owner of the aquarium is guaranteed ideal transparency of the walls and excellent opportunities for obtaining high-quality photographs of the inhabitants of his aquarium. The next important criterion is the strength of the walls themselves. Here, naturally, the thicker the glass, the more reliable it is, but the overall reliability is also affected by the quality of the gluing of the walls.

In general, the best option would be to make an aquarium to order, since in this case you can take into account all the wishes and requirements of the customer, that is, you. This will, of course, cost more than a regular purchase, but you will be able to independently monitor compliance with requirements and wishes, check the quality of work, especially if you have any non-standard preferences. Next comes the question of polishing the ends of the glass. It all depends on how much money you are going to pay for the aquarium.

In any case, grinding will not be superfluous, at least on the upper edges. Otherwise, there is a risk of simply cutting yourself with sharp glass. And if you completely grind and polish the ends, the aquarium will look more elegant, and the gluing areas will be practically invisible.

It is worth taking care of strengthening the structure of the aquarium. Usually, for frameless structures, special glass strips are used - stiffening ribs, which help to avoid deflections of the walls from water pressure, and therefore protect the glass from cracks. Also, the stiffening ribs can serve as a support for an additional top cover glass if the aquarium must be covered with a lid. Thanks to them, it will be easy to move this lid to the side in order to remove it or simply open the tank itself for a while. But is it necessary to cover the aquarium at all from above? It all depends, first of all, on the type of tank itself.

For example, an aquarium that is equipped with a lid with built-in lighting should definitely be closed. If the lighting is provided by suspended sources, then such an aquarium does not need to be closed. This provides additional opportunities, for example, you can place various plants in the aquarium, which would simply die in a closed aquarium due to the large amount of heat.

If we consider methods for gluing the walls of an aquarium, then it is worth saying that the double-sided method will be the most durable and effective. It is this that gives the greatest strength and sealing of the tank. Therefore, if you are planning to purchase an aquarium glued only along the side seams and on one side, you should think carefully about the reliability of such a design. Isn’t it better to overpay a little and be sure of reliability, than to later see the consequences of a cheap purchase in the form of leaking water, detached walls and, as a result, a ruined world located in this aquarium. However, what to buy is up to everyone to decide for themselves.
