The primary difference between an aquarium and a fish tank is the material. The material of an aquarium is usually plexiglass or glass, while the material of an old-fashioned fish tank is basically glass. Of course, there are many other materials of fish tanks, including float glass, tempered glass, acrylic glass and so on, different materials have different characteristics, suitable for different fish farming groups.
Aquarium does not have a fixed shape, and even some are not so regular, as one of the home decoration, the most important thing is to match the overall style, so there are few rigid shapes. The shape of the fish tank is basically rectangular, square or circular, but fish farming is not as good as the former. Aquariums are usually glued with glass, so the shape is naturally more regular than that of aquariums.
The most important point of the aquarium is that it has comprehensive functions. There are decorations, lights, filters, oxygenation equipment, and so on, which are all gathered together. And the fish tank is generally bought naked tank, naked tank can raise fish, but want to raise well, also need to install filter equipment, heating rod and a series of equipment. In addition, the general aquarium is closed, while the fish tank is open, so as to facilitate feeding and water exchange.
