You have just picked up a brand new aquarium tank at the pet store, and have the decor left. The tanks were beautiful at the pet store, but that's not what you bought. You only have the tank without the decor. It's up to you to decorate it.
Deciding on the theme is one of the first things you should do. There are a wide range of themes you can select, ranging from sunken ships all the way to Disney themes. Selecting your theme is simply a matter of personal choice. After doing that you will probably want to create a rough sketch and skale everything to size. Doing this isn't required, but will help you fit everything in the tank, while making sure it looks good. A little planning will help you in the long run.
There is a lot of different types of aquarium decor available. There are hundreds, if not thousands, to choose from. Driftwood, rocks, gravel, plastic plants, and ceramic decor are a few types that you can choose from. Once the theme has been picked out, filling the tank is the easy part. There are so many options available, you can find just about anything. One thing you will want to keep in mind is to arrange the big objects in the back, and the small ones in the front.
