The length can be up to 2 m.
In the floor and desktop aquariums, the water mass is significant, so the stand must provide stability. An excellent option for installation is a cabinet with shelves and lockable doors. Open shelves can be made of glass and placed on them "marine" decorations from corals of bizarre shapes or shining shells.

The walls around them are decorated with plastic or wooden panels. Baguette of the original form or decorative plaster on the wall, where the tank is built, make the aquarium with a backlight very attractive.

Therefore, the internal design is not distorted and faithfully conveys the magic of the underwater kingdom. Panoramic-type vessels have a little beveled corners, allowing thereby to increase the viewing angle and area. The front walls of aquariums of dioramous type create the effect of "full immersion", as in nautilus.
Stylish aquariums of a tower type can be in the form of a parallelepiped, a polyhedron or even a cylinder. For such aquariums, a large mass of water and accommodation for viewing from all sides is desirable. All the internal underwater towers with numerous windows and grottoes look better in the open space. Towers are never issued the same type, so the effect of watching them is fascinating. On majestically floating or floating out of the castles and towers you can watch for hours.
To design and build decorative underwater grottoes and aquarium rocks use natural materials: volcanic tuff and white Kenyan stone. When decorating the bottom of the tank, you can use coral chips from fragments of natural corals of various sizes and fractions, ground to a smooth state. Of course, the aquarium is unthinkable without bright beautiful algae.
