How big should your aquarium be? This is one of the most common and popular question that many new aquarium hobbyist had in mind when they set up their first tank. The size of the aquarium depends on a number of factors. The size of a fish tank is usually expressed in units of gallon.
The bigger the tank the more water it can hold and this means the heavier the filled weight. Thus you need to determine the amount of space that you intend to allocate for your aquarium and also amount of weight that the place can sustain the filled fish tank. Do not underestimate the total weight of the tank when it is filled and make sure you provide a stable platform for it.
You can check out the aquarium size and weight chart to estimate the amount of weight that a filled tank of the size of your choice is going to be.
The bigger the tank, the more fish and plant you can house in the aquarium. On the other hand, you should have some information about the the fish that you want to keep such as the maximum size of the adult fish so that you can roughly estimate how many of that species of fish you can keep in the tank.
I guess the best method to determine what aquarium size is to first ask yourself how much space you intend to and which you can allocate to place the aquarium. Next determine how many fish and plants you want to keep in the tank.
