Setting Up an Aquarium

What You Need

Setting up an aquarium is like building a tiny underwater world! You need: a glass TANK (bigger is better — more water stays cleaner longer), a FILTER (a machine that cleans the water), a HEATER (for tropical fish that need warm water), a LIGHT (so you can see your fish and plants can grow), GRAVEL or sand for the bottom, and DECORATIONS like rocks, driftwood, and plants for fish to hide in and explore. Real plants are best because they make oxygen!
