The Living Eden

The popularity of the aquatic hobby has grown steadily over the years as people look to bring a little piece of nature into their homes. Aquariums offer an amazing way to appreciate the beauty and diversity of aquatic life.

Aquariums have many positive attributes that extend well beyond being decorative. Research has indicated a link between watching an aquarium and the reduction of stress. Finding a chance to relax in today’s fast paced world has become difficult, at best. The aquarium provides a living display, which allows observers in a variety of environments, such as dental, legal, and medical offices, as well as restaurants, hotel lobbies and homes to relax and compose their thoughts.

Most hobbyists start keeping aquaria because of their interest in watching fish, not plants. However, with time one realizes that a natural looking setting, with live plants, is more appropriate than ceramic shipwrecks and bubbling divers. Aquatic plants are not only an ideal background to showcase your aquatic habitat, but they're also good for fish. Plants improve water quality by allowing biological filtration, removing nitrates, and oxygenating the water. Fish in a well-planted tank are less stressed and more likely to breed.
