The life of the fish tank is related to many factors, generally around 8-10 years. The larger the fish tank, the shorter the service life, 1.2 meters of fish tank life is generally less than 5 years, and less than 1 meter of fish tank can be used for about 8 years. In addition, the glass material, thickness and glass glue, will affect its normal use, if a slight leakage, can be remedied, serious fragmentation must be replaced with a new cylinder.
1. Material: The material of the fish tank is generally glass, but there are many kinds of glass. Before the popular acrylic glass aquarium, the life of this tank is about 5-7 years, the long one can be used for 10 years, while the ordinary glass aquarium can be used for 4-6 years. But acrylic fish tank also has a disadvantage, that is very easy to scratch, very affect viewing.
2. Position: The position where the fish tank is placed sometimes affects its service life. On the one hand, the bottom is flat or uneven, and the force is uneven. On the other hand, the light tends to accelerate the aging of the glass. Therefore, it is generally not allowed to expose the fish tank to the sun, which is also harmful to the health of the fish.
3. Others: Most aquariums raise freshwater fish. If you raise sea fish, you often need to use the prepared salt water, and the salt itself will erode the glass glue, causing it to age quickly, thus shortening its service life. Therefore, the life of a sea water tank is often shorter than that of a freshwater tank.
