Aquarium Decorations----Creating Homes For FishesSubmitted By: Tomy
Williams
Aquarium decorations are not only beautiful to look at they also have an
important purpose. They provide fishes with homes---- hiding places and natural
borders resembling their natural habitat. There are many different types of
decorations, for instance Cave dwelling fishes love aquarium decorations that
structure like caves, holes and crevices. Whereas Fishes that live in dense
vegetation prefer plants and other types of tiny hiding places. Decorations are
crucial for a happy and healthy aquarium they also keep fishes from getting
bored.
Tanks: There are many variants of tanks big, small, quadrilateral or polygonal.
The size of an aquarium should be according to the size and the number of fishs
you plan to keep.Also tanks come in a variety of tinted glasses.
Plants: They are the the most beautiful, inexpensive source of decoration for
your aquariums. Fishes love the aquatic plants as they are part of their natural
habitats. They come in all varieties, costing anywhere from a few bucks to
hundreds. Plants are very useful as well; they bind carbon dioxide and oxygenate
the water. They also use organic waste products as nutrition and remove
potentially harmful compounds from the water. Plants can also be used to keep a
check on the water quality of an aquarium; the plant will start dieing before
the fish if the water suddenly becomes toxic.
Wood, Rock and Coral: An aquarium can be like a miniature true habitat for the
fishes with these decorations. Drift wood and mangroves can create a beautiful
effect in the aquarium, plus some fishes particularly thrive on Drift wood. But
be careful as Drift wood might lower pH levels and the hardness of the water. So
it is best used in aquariums with soft slightly acid water. Stones and rocks
make excellent decorations. But again caution is needed; you should never use
rocks that affect your water?s pH levels or stones that might contain toxins.
There are also fake rocks that resemble real rocks, but these are pretty
expensive. Rocks can be used to create caves which many fishes are passionate
about. Coral are a beautiful addition to marine aquariums; in fact they may
prove necessary for a healthy marine habitat. But can be dangerous to fresh
water aquarium and should not be used as they be harmful.
Gravel or sand: Both are great both come in a variety of color. Gravel comes in
white, brown and black, or blue, red, green, yellow the whole rainbow spectrum.
Sand again also has a plethora of colors white, black, blue, yellow, red, green.
Both of these can be layered in multiple colors.
Glass marbles, Ceramics, Plastic: Ok all are unnatural materials and might look
slightly tacky, but fishes don?t give a fig for this, they enjoy them
enormously. Glass marbles though are not a good bottom substrate out of a
biologically as flora does not thrive on them, can add beautiful colors to the
aquarium. It?s best to use them sparingly or add another more functional
substrate below. Ceramics are excellent aquarium decorations. All sizes and
shapes can be used as long as they do not have sharp edges. However ceramics
tend to grow algae that might be hard to. Plastic they are cheap, colorful and
yes tacky, but can be found in a variety of fun shapes. Treasure chests, skulls,
divers, pirates, plants and ships you name it and stores have them.
It is imperative that you only use aquarium decorations that are safe to use in
aquariums. If you have salt water aquariums they should be saltwater-safe also.
If you don?t take this precaution your fish will die due to the organisms and
toxins released by the decorations
Decorations have both practical and aesthetical use if done tastefully and
carefully you can create a miniature aquatic ecosystem that both you and your
fish can enjoy.
- Using Google to Promote Your Business If you're not already
advertising with Google, it's time to get cracking! With more than 81.9 million
unique visitors each month, Google.com is a huge source of potential traffic for
your business. Google has a wide variety of services, tools, labs and
advertising avenues that every online entrepreneur should know about--yet many
people are unaware that Google is much more than "just" a search engine. So
let's take a look at some of the key resources you can use to promote your
online business. Get Your Website Ranked 1. Web Search: Just showing up in your
potential customers' search results is the easiest way to use Google for free
advertising. To show up in the first page or two of results, you'll need to
optimize your website to achieve the highest ranking possible. You may already
be aware that you need to spend some time getting the right keywords on your
website and increasing your "link popularity." But you might not have known that
Google looks at the first block of text it encounters on your web page and uses
that for the few lines displayed about your site on search result pages. So if
you want to get listed and also catch the eye of your customers, make your first
paragraph of text count: To be most effective, it should be roughly 300 words
with about 8 percent of them being keywords. 2. Sitemaps: Google's spiders
constantly index web pages, and it's impossible to predict accurately when
they'll visit your site. If you've paid attention to optimizing your site for
search, then they will crawl your pages. However, you can't be sure that they've
indexed all your web pages--they might index just part of your site during a
single visit. And since they start at the top of a page and work down, they
might not even index the entire page before moving on! One thing you can do to
increase the likelihood of your entire site getting "spidered" is to submit your
site to Google Sitemaps. (There are several ways to do this; for an overview,
click here.) After submitting your site, Google creates and stores an XML file
that allows for instant updates and indexing whenever your site's content
changes. This is like having your own data cable running from your computer
directly to Google! 3. AdSense: AdSense is one of the two kinds of advertising
avenues Google offers. The ads generated through AdSense are third-party ads
that sit on your website. The program is free for you to use and you make money
each time someone clicks on an ad and moves off your site. In other words, these
ads entice your visitors away from your site (bad thing), but you're compensated
each time that happens (good thing). Google matches the ads to your site by
finding similarities in the keywords of each. The good news is, you can set a
filter to prevent your competitors' ads from appearing on your website, and you
can customize the appearance of the ads so their background color is the same as
your site's, making them look more like informative content than sales pitches.
Try testing Google AdSense on your site to see if it negatively affects your
traffic and sales. If it doesn't, then you've just found a new revenue stream.
How much will you earn? That depends partly on how much the advertisers are
paying Google for the keywords and partly on how many people click through the
ads on your site. But realistically, you could earn anywhere between $0.03 and
$15.00 per click--and as much as several hundred dollars a day if you have a
well-optimized site that draws lots of targeted traffic. 4. AdWords: The second
of Google's advertising opportunities is AdWords. These are ads that you create
to promote your business and that Google places on other sites for you. There
are three main places you'll see AdWord ads: * On the right side of the page
next to Google's "organic" search results * On other sites as AdSense ads *
Alongside your e-mail messages in Gmail When you create your AdWord ads, you're
in control of how much they cost. You decide how much you're willing to pay for
specific keywords in your ads, and each time your ad is clicked, you pay that
amount. The amount ranges from a minimum of $0.05 to a maximum of $100, and you
can set a daily budget that won't be exceeded. Google uses the keywords you
chose to help them place your ads on sites that have content relevant to yours,
so you can be assured the traffic you're paying for is highly targeted. AdWords
reach 80 percent of internet users, and you can define their target region and
language. If you're wary about using AdWords because of the possibility of your
ads appearing on sites that don't convert to sales for you, you can apply a
"negative filter" when creating your ad to exclude specific sites. As with
AdSense ads, it's a good idea to test whether your advertising investment is
making money for you. If the click-through traffic isn't converting to sales, if
your traffic drops off, or if a particular keyword is not drawing the
traffic--and sales--you'd hoped for, it's time to rework your ads. Monitor
Google--and Your Site's Google Ranking--With Other Tools We shouldn't always
take a company's word for it when it comes to what they offer. It's wise to get
a second opinion or look to the experts to see what the buzz is about a
company's products. Using Google is no different, and there are a large number
of ways to discover who's saying what about Google's products. There are also a
lot of people who provide tools and services that supplement Google's, and
these, too, are worth knowing about. Let's look at a few examples: 1.
GoogleAdvisor.org: This is a blog that focuses on AdSense, AdWords and PageRank
strategies. (PageRank is the Google tool you can use to gain an instant sense of
your website's importance--you're assigned a rank from 0 to 10 based on how many
other sites link to you and how "important" they are.) For information, tips,
tricks and strategies related to Google, this site is a good first stop. 2.
GoogleRankings.com: This site gives you a free tool for checking your keywords.
You can enter your site's URL and get a report about your keyword density. You
can then check how highly Google ranks your site for each of those keywords. 3.
GoogleGuide.com: This site offers guides for both novice and experienced users.
Experienced users can find out more about creating a website, including tips on
PageRank, getting listed and advertising revenue. Now that you have all the
information you need to promote your business with Google, remember Google's
philosophy: "Focus on the user, and all else will follow." Every step of your
business should be about solving a problem for your customer. Google's services
and tools will help you achieve that. www.myafrica.wordpress.comAbout the
