Fish tank, a kind of water tank for live fish, has a transparent cylinder, mostly made of glass, and can also be used to raise tropical fish or goldfish for viewing. The fish tank is not only the home of fish, but also the enjoyment of family life. The flawless double-layer float glass not only creates a warm home for fish, but also ensures the safety of the overall living environment. Fish tank is an indispensable decoration in home feng shui, and it is the soul Zen master who perfectly combines space, home, office and business space.
Main types
A. according to the material type:
(1). Ordinary glass-emerald green, fragile, low transparency, easy to age and deform when exposed to rain, so try not to use it in making fish tanks.
2. Float glass-transparent float glass is made of glass slurry which enters the tin bath through the control gate, floats on the surface of tin liquid due to gravity and its own surface tension, and then enters the cooling bath to make both sides of the glass smooth and uniform, and the ripples disappear. Dark green, smooth surface without ripple, good perspective and certain toughness.
(3). Tempered glass, laminated glass-Tempered glass is a kind of high-strength safety glass, which is obtained by heating the glass to its softening point and then rapidly air-cooling. Under the same thickness, the bending strength of tempered glass is 4-5 times higher than that of ordinary glass, and the impact strength is 5 times higher than that of ordinary glass. Tempered glass has strong thermal stability and can withstand severe temperature changes without damage. The biggest feature of tempered glass is safety. This kind of broken glass is similar to honeycomb particles, which can avoid harm to human body. Note: Tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled or slotted. Because broken glass is like honeycomb particles, it can't be repaired at all, so it is not recommended to use it in aquarium!
(4) Acrylic glass-a glass material similar to plexiglass and ordinary glass, originally used in airplanes. Most of the early corner fish tanks were made of acrylic glass, which was light in weight and strong in toughness. Must be integrated, easy to scratch (a bit like plexiglass), low transparency!
5.PMMA, commonly known as PMMA, is an important thermoplastic with good transparency, chemical stability and easy dyeing and processing. But the strength is low, except for some small craft tanks (boxes), aquariums are generally not used.
[6]. Ceramic-ceramic craft fish tank is suitable for home decoration.
(7) Stone-There are many kinds of fish tanks, such as jade fish tanks, Duanyan fish tanks, bluestone fish tanks, white marble fish tanks, marble fish tanks, bluestone fish tanks, sandstone fish tanks and cave stone fish tanks. , you can carve different patterns and patterns.
2. According to the structural form: rectangle, single cambered surface, double cambered surface, circle, semicircle, wavy, spherical, cylindrical, annular, conical, U-shaped cylinder, bullet, etc.
3. According to appearance art: Chinese style and European style; Modern and classical.
4. According to water quality: seawater tank and fresh water tank.
5. According to biology: fish tank, straw tank, coral tank, turtle tank, ecological tank, etc.
6. According to the installation method, it is divided into screen tube, ceiling tube, wall tube, wall tube, corner tube, window tube, desktop tube, etc.
Seven. According to the size: large tank (aquarium), small tank (aquarium), household fish tank, micro tank (mini tank) and so on.
Eight. According to the technical principle, it is divided into positive pressure cylinder (traditional cylinder) and negative pressure cylinder (inverted fish tank, vacuum cylinder, space cylinder, magic fish tank and interactive fish tank); Fully enclosed electronic fish tank (waterless fish tank).
Glass glue: silica gel glass glue. There are many kinds of glass glue on the market, including acid glass glue, neutral weather-resistant glue, silicic acid neutral structural glue, silica gel stone glue, neutral mildew-proof glue, insulating glass glue, aluminum-plastic board glue, aquarium glue, large glass glue, bathroom mildew-proof glue, acid structural glue and so on.
Special glue for aquariums is rare, and there are even fewer domestic glue with Chinese instructions, so generally please choose imported glue, and it is best to find the translation instructions through the Internet to determine the most suitable glue.
Buy glass glue: 1. Identify the brand. Effective registered trademark, distinctive image recognition, reasonable price positioning and perfect after-sales service are the identification standards of brand products. 2. Look at the packaging. Check whether there is product name, factory name, specification, origin, color and date of manufacture on the carton, and whether there is certificate of conformity, warranty and product inspection report in the carton; Second, see if the purpose, usage and precautions on the plastic bottle are clear and complete; Third, to see whether the net content is accurate, the manufacturer must indicate the specifications and the net content (unit gram or milliliter) on the packaging bottle. 3. Test the colloid. Smell the smell, contrast the luster, check the particles, check the bubbles, check the curing effect, and test the tensile force and viscosity.
