How it All Started

Almost 20 years ago I discovered my passion for all things aquatic and decided to create my very own aquarium. I found a suitable container, having taken into consideration the space I had available.

I bought the fish after listening to a specialists recommendations, and managed to get hold of both sand and some natural plants (artificial plants were difficult to get hold of back then), I even made my own background from grapevine wood.

Then one day my luck changed, having gone to the pet shop to buy new fish (this had turned into a habit) I started up a conversation with some other fish lovers and heard the strangest thing ever:

"You must boil the sand/gravel several times before introducing them to the aquarium you should do the exact same thing with any type of wood that you might use as background. Such elements found in any natural environment can bring bacteria which whilst being non-damaging in nature, when brought into such a small place can spread and become harmful to the fish."

I went straight home and carried out this advice, and what do you know? It actually worked. Days and then weeks passed and no fish died. This was the answer to my questions all this time but I would have never guessed it. Nowhere had such a simple thing been written, on what was such an important matter.

What I was trying to say through my story is that this basic information has not always been available until now. Here at AquariumOwner.com we will provide you with all the information you could possibly require.
