When buying an aquarium , you should immediately think about buying a bedside table for it. It should serve as a sturdy stand under the vessel and a roomy cupboard for aquarium accessories and appliances. Traditional pedestals used for such tanks are not recommended, since they can not withstand a high load.
Selecting thumbs for the aquarium
The size of the nightstand for the aquarium is chosen according to the dimensions of the vessel itself. In terms of form and design, models are distinguished:
- rectangular classic - similar furniture is found most often, its dimensions should be slightly larger than the vessel itself;
- corner - such tables are installed under the angular aquariums with convex or polyhedral glasses. Have the radius shape or geometry of the polygon, for example, trapezoid;
- with open shelves - more perform a decorative role;
- with closed doors - is considered the most practical option. They can hide pumps, filters and other appliances to ensure the vital activity of the living corner.
Furniture for the aquarium is made of wood, metal, particleboard or MDF, by combining such materials.
Special nuances that need to be considered when buying a cabinet:
- The rear partition must be equipped with holes for hoses and wiring.
- For a long vessel, the bedside table is usually strengthened by an additional crossbar in the middle of the countertop.
- The countertop is better to choose from a moisture resistant material, possibly covered with a laminate.
- For a particularly heavy tank it is recommended to use a metal structure decorated with wood or plastic.
- The height of the curbstone is often chosen so that the aquarium is located at the level of the person's eyes in a sitting position.
Properly selected bedside table can prolong the life of the aquarium and give a special charm to the room in which it is installed.
