Aquarium water: 3 methods to fill aquarium with water


After setting the sand and rock-work the next essential step is to pour in water carefully in your aquarium. The aquarium water should be a clean non diluted water. Tap water may be good for this purpose if it’s not drawn from copper cylinder or through copper piping, as these could be deadly poisonous.

Below, we will be looking at three good methods to filling your aquarium with water:-


First Method

Put a bucket of water on a board supported by the edges of tank and to let the water run into the tank through a rubber siphon tube about 1cm(1/8 inch) in diameter.

In order to avoid stirring up the bottom soil and sand, place the outflow end of the hose-pipe against the side of the glass to be the first depth water to run in without turning the whole tank into a mud puddle. The more quietly this is done, the better.

When the depth of water is up to 5-cm (2-inch) in the tank, the outflow end of the tube can then be unturned so as to direct the stream of water upwards.

Second Method

To use this method you start by placing a saucer on the sand or gravel near the front. Place a clean jar on the saucer. Then aiming carefully, slowly pour water from the jug into the jar which falls rapidly and spills into the saucer (which breaks the fall) and trickles over the edge.

You can then pour the water more rapidly as the curved lip of the saucer directs the stream of water upwards and not a grain of sand needs be disturbed.

Third Method

This last method is the fastest way to fill tank; especially the large once is to spread a double sheet of newspaper on the sand pour directly on to the paper. The paper rises continuously with the level of water; thus absorbing the impact that would otherwise heave stirred up the bottom soil.
