So you've decided on which aquarium to buy, been and purchased it, and set it up in a prominent location in your home. Before you rush out and what salt water fish for sale there are, you need to make sure you have all the equipment necessary. At the very least you need a lid for the aquarium, lighting, a heating system and a filtration system. It is also very important you buy the correct size for your aquarium. You will now need to decorate your aquarium. For this you need gravel, and by this special gravel you buy from an aquatic dealer is meant as the quality is important.

This will allow plants to root properly, and if you have an under-gravel filtration system you will need this much to cover the filter. To complete the decoration you will need some plants, either real or artificial, and you may want to consider some bogwood, as it looks attractive in an aquarium, and as it has been treated it is suitable.
