What is the difference between aquariums and tanks?

In the fishkeeping world there is no difference. A Fish Tank is an Aquarium. Of course a Tank is simply a container and can be anything from a war machine to a container for petrol on a car.


How do you Convert a reptile tank to a fish tank?

Often reptile aquariums are made of thinner glass and are not designed to hold water. However, if the aquarium is just a general aquarium, then it a simple matter of cleaning out the tank (in a bath tub is where I do it), and then adding some equipment. You will need a stand that can support the weight of the tank and water. You will also need a filter, a hang on the back filter will probably suffice if the tank is relatively small. You will need aquarium gravel, and a heater as well. You may also need to get a new light or hood, depending on what you had on the tank originally. I've found shopping online to be the least expensive way to upgrade, and I love www.bigalsonline.com for their price and selection.

A reptile tank should be at least as long as the adult animal will grow, and a minimum of half the adult length for the depth. Height is dependent on the behaviour of the reptile - whether its arboreal or whatever.
