Coziness and beautiful design in a room are of great importance. The home environment is capable of filling a person with energy, pleasant emotions and aesthetic pleasure. There are many decorative elements that can transform a room, create the right atmosphere and emphasize the style of the owner of the apartment. One such item is the aquarium. There is a wide variety of shapes and sizes for these containers.

Often, designers experiment and use the aquarium not for its intended purpose. They use such containers to create unusual design forms. So, the aquarium-cube with fish still does not lose popularity and is used to decorate the space.

Peculiarities

The smooth movement of these little sea inhabitants can fill you with peace and relaxation. In order for the fish to please the owner and guests for a long time, you should follow a lot of rules for caring for the aquarium and its inhabitants. Cubic aquariums can be called the most popular options for such products. Meanwhile, there are certain rules and features of caring for them.

A square vessel is a container with all parts of the same length. It is less popular than the classic rectangular version of the container, while it is more difficult in organizing its space.

The complexity of maintenance lies in the fact that the area for algae in it is less than in a rectangular one.

Considering that the space at the top remains empty, It is quite difficult to build an absolutely harmonious water world inside it on your own.

Algae in an aquarium is not only aesthetic.They prevent bacteria from multiplying in the water, thereby creating comfortable living conditions for fish.

It is necessary to arrange the algae beautifully, with taste.

It is important not to overload the container with them, it is also important not to leave a lot of empty space. An aquarium overloaded with algae, especially a cubic one, will look untidy and unlikely to create the desired effect, and a small amount of algae will create the effect of a poor, unfinished decorative element.

In order to beautifully organize the space of the cube aquarium, it is best to choose algae of various heights:

  • long plants will fill the void in the upper part of the square container and make a more harmonious transition from the bottom to the top;
  • small plants will create the necessary effect to maintain the purity of the water and complete the overall appearance.

    All decorative elements that are used for classic rectangular containers are also suitable for a cube aquarium. You should take the design seriously and find the most suitable location for certain parts by trial.

    What are cube aquariums?

    Everyone knows what the classic versions of such products look like. These structures are four glass sides connected to each other, and there is also a bottom and a lid.

    Modern trends in the manufacture and design of aquariums keep pace with the times.

    • To date, containers are on sale even without seams, which implies that there are no visible lines of connection between the glass sides. Such a cube aquarium looks very solid. According to experts, such containers are more durable and safer. Structures without seams are easier to clean, they are visually more beautiful, because the picture of the water world inside is not distorted by seams.
    • Another trendy, cute novelty is the nanocube. This type of product received this name due to its miniature size. Outwardly, the structure actually resembles a glass seamless cube. The dimensions of such containers are usually quite compact. Nanocube is widely used in creative design, because such cubes can decorate any room, adding a kind of charm to it.

    The choice of products should be made taking into account the size of the room, the volume of containers, the individual preferences of the owner.

    Dimensions and volumes

    Cubic aquariums come in various sizes and volumes. A variety of shapes and sizes allows you to select the most suitable options for such products for each specific room and for a specific interior.

    • Nanocubes, having compact forms, open the dimensional grid of aquariums. In addition, there are also small square aquarium models that can hold about 5 liters, 10 liters, 15 liters and 20 liters.
    • Average aquarium sizes - the most versatile, they have volumes of 30 l, 50 l, 60 l.
    • Large cube models look incredibly impressive, they have volumes of about 100 liters, 200 liters and even 1000 liters. Most often they are used for decoration in restaurants or similar establishments, where a small or medium-sized aquarium would be lost in all the variety of other decorative elements.

      The size of the container must correspond to the size of the room. A similar aquarium should decorate the room. An element of decor incorrectly selected in shape and volume can bring dissonance to the overall picture.

      Design Tips

      No matter how outwardly the aquarium looks, its main burden is its aesthetic function. Its design needs to be given a sufficient amount of attention and time.

      The main secret of successful design is the correct location of large decorative elements.

      They should be placed on the far side or at the corners of the vessel. If these are stones, then they can be landscaped with moss or supplemented with miniature plants. Stretching algae should be placed in the back or corner of the aquarium.

      There is nothing wrong if some part of the algae floats in the water column, because it often looks harmonious and beautiful.

      The rest of the design should be done solely according to your own preferences, since this is how the most unusual and exclusive design designs are created.
