Aquarium illumination
Most of the times we first buy an aquarium and only then we think where we should place it. The disposal place of the aquarium must be carefully selected, because after you mount the aquarium, it is very hard to change its position. While moving it you can even break the aquarium. That’s why it has to be empty, with no fish and no plants and moved in another place. Choosing the place for an aquarium is very hard. For example, if we place a small aquarium close to a door or window, the temperature variations will be high regardless of the heater. 
Then the fish diseases may occur. If it is placed in the kitchen, or in places where you work with volatile substances - oil fumes – will produce the tuck the valve of the vibrator or may produce oil shell on the aquarium water surface.
Another element that we should consider in placing the aquarium is represented by the light. If we place the aquarium where it receives south light, this thing won’t allow the breeding of green and blue algae but the only plants that could grow are Cryptocoryne which need a low quantity of light. A placement near a window which receives north light will create an over flow of green and blue algae. Neither the west orientated windows give too much light, that’s why the recommended places are near windows that receive east light.
There are 2 ways for placing the aquarium in order to be able to use the solar light from windows:
- aquarium disposal on the opposite wall
- aquarium disposal on a wall perpendicular to the one with the window
In both cases the light is received by the front face of the aquarium, assuring a good illumination for both small and big plants. Placing the aquarium like that is in the benefit of fish too because they can receive good light and they will be more active and will show their real colors
