As we saw earlier, although many people may not believe it, the decoration in the aquarium it is a very important part when deciding what fish, plants and animals in general you want to have there.
We must not only take it into account, because it provides the animals with a more natural environment and similar to the sea or the river, for example, but because of the aesthetic aspect that it has in our fish tank.

In the same way, it is important that we know the total weight of the aquarium, since in addition to having a capacity in liters, we must add the weight of the filters, sand, rocks, and other elements that we want to add and that generally weigh more. than the same water that the aquarium contains.

Rockery is a limestone that is generally gray in color, but has certain incrustations that make it look a little darker than it really is.
Like coral, when we buy limestone, it is important to carry out the same procedure to clean it, with a small difference, instead of cleaning it and soaking it for a week with chlorine diluted in water, we must do it with pure chlorine, and keep each one of the rocks, at least for 2 hours inside the chlorine and then brush it to better remove the impurities that it may have and that we really do not need to introduce to our aquarium.
In this way, the rocks will be completely white and clean, without any type of germ, infection, fungus or disease that could harm or infect our animals.
Good afternoon, a question, the rockery would serve for aquariums of African cyclids, to raise the pH and hardness
