If the fish tank is more than 80 cm long, the total height is mostly 145-155 cm. If the fish tank is less than 80 cm, the total height is mostly 135-145 cm.
Since the height of traditional fish tanks is limited by operation, the home fish tanks usually on the market are specified by their length, such as 1.2m, 1.5m, 2m fish tanks, etc., so the height is usually Only 1.2-1.3m.
The specifications of wall-mounted fish tanks, such as: 1.25m×0.6m×0.10m ecological mural, it can be seen that the height of wall-mounted fish tanks is generally limited to 80cm.
Types of fish tanks
1. Ultra-small aquarium
The size of the aquarium can be as small as a small fish tank with only one fish - a simple glass bowl shape Fish tanks with a capacity of less than 1 liter are generally not suitable for most fish, except for those that can breathe air directly (also known as betta fish and belong to the suborder Perchonidae), such as Siamese fighting fish or spotted betta fish. fish.
2. Ultra-large aquariums
Extra-large fish tanks are large enough to keep sharks or accommodate an entire seagrass forest ecosystem.
3. Basic volume requirements
It is generally believed that the minimum volume requirement for filtration and other basic devices is 11 liters.
4. Weight and water pressure restrictions
For example, the weight of water (1 liter of pure water weighs 1 kilogram, and salt water is heavier), internal water pressure (high water pressure requires more water Stronger and thicker glass), etc., will cause volume limitations, so that the maximum volume of a home aquarium can only be about 1 cubic meter.
Note: Some people specialize in manufacturing aquariums of several cubic meters, but this requires a lot of effort and high costs.
5. The world’s largest fish tank
Public aquariums that raise large species or simulate large-scale environments can be much larger than home aquariums. The Georgia Aquarium has the largest aquarium in the world, with a capacity of 30,000 cubic meters.
