Tap water is quite safe for humans, but it's not entirely true for your fish. As an aquarium owner, you shouldn't ignore our guide to making tap water fish safe. To treat harmful substances in water, such as chlorine, heavy metals, etc., I recommend using reverse osmosis. In addition to these substances, it is very likely that there are other harmful substances found in the water. Applying a balm is a necessity to get rid of this unwanted toxic substance.

After reading a blog about how to make saltwater for aquariums, I made my own saltwater for my reef tank right away. For future or emergency use, I can store a 5 gallon or even a 100 gallon saltwater tank. When I want to add the saltwater, I just add a heater prior to using the salt water to bring the water up to a suitable temperature.

I wanted to put some driftwood in the tank, but instead of using commercial driftwood, I made driftwood for the aquarium using some driftwood that I found in brackish water. The way to do it is very simple: first clean the driftwood you find. Then soak them in a barrel of water for 1-2 weeks to release excess tannins, which turn the water brown or slightly yellow. After removing the tannin, it is necessary to clean and boil the driftwood to remove the last remaining dirt. Finally, place the driftwood in the aquarium.
