Gallon aquarium tanks, when you have one for a hobby, need to be properly maintained in order that you provide the ideal environment in which the fish and marine life can live in. Yet even before you can get your hobby up and running, you need to first go out and get your gallon aquarium tank, and then set it up.



The first thing you will find when you go online or visit your local pet or aquarium supply store, is that there are many different types of gallon aquarium tanks for you to select from. As well as coming in a number of different shapes and sizes, they also come in different materials; no longer are these being made just from glass.

Gallon Aquarium Tank - What Framework Do They Have?

If the gallon aquarium tank you purchase is constructed from glass, then the framework surrounding it will be made from either angle iron or stainless steel. These metals will have been welded at each corner where the frame joins together, and then the glass will then slot inside it.

Between the metal framework and the glass, either a putty aquarium cement, silicon or acrylic sealant, will be placed to ensure that it doesn't leak. Also to ensure that you don't cause any untoward stress on the framework of your gallon aquarium tank, it must be placed on a level surface; if not, then the chances of the glass in it cracking are greatly increased.

Although the framework of a gallon aquarium tank is most often made using metal, sometimes they can be made from wood, particularly plywood as it is less likely to warp after coming into contact with water. Again to prevent water escaping from the tank through the frame joints, an epoxy sealant is applied between the frame and the glass. One benefit of having a wooden, rather than metal frame, is that you can actually decorate it (paint, varnish or cover in material) to match a room's decor.

Gallon Aquarium Tank - Other Materials Which Can Be Used In Their Construction

Traditionally when it comes to aquariums, they will be constructed using glass. However, today materials such as acrylic are becoming more popular for using, to make gallon aquarium tanks with. Although these types of tanks cost more than their glass counterparts, they weigh less and you can often purchase them in a wider range of shapes and designs.

Although an acrylic gallon aquarium tank weighs less than a glass one, and is far less likely to crack, the material is much softer than glass, and can easily be scratched. If not cared for properly, such a gallon aquarium tank will become marred and so seeing into it becomes more difficult, and you may end up spending money on having to replace it.

To further enhance the look of your gallon aquarium tank, and which can be added later on to it, is a material known as Vitrolite, which comes in a wide range of colors. Because it is opaque, this material can act to hide anything that you don't want others to see (wires and equipment), which is in place to keep the tank's environment balanced.

It is important that you spend some time learning about the various different types of gallon aquarium tanks you can buy, before you spend your money. Read as many reviews as you can on those that you are interested in. The best place to get the information you need, is by going online where you can also compare the prices for the models you are interested in at the same time.
