What Is a PVC Tarpaulin Fish Tank?

PVC tarpaulin fish tanks are an inexpensive way of starting your own aquaponics system and they can be set up in as little as 4 hours. The PVC tarp is one of the most important parts of this type of fish tank because it is what will hold the weight of the water, the gravel, and all the plants in place. You can use any type of tarp for this project but it is recommended that you use UNISIGN’s Polytuf Premium Heavy-duty TARP (8x10FT) because it is designed specifically for these applications. This type of tarp has grommets along all four sides so that you can quickly attach ropes and cables from any direction without having to worry about ripping or tearing.

Starting the Setup Process

A basic rule of thumb for setting up a PVC tarpaulin fish tank is that the water level should be just below the waterline. If you are using gravel, make sure it’s not too deep so that the fish can swim around easily.

Another way to maintain your fish tank is by adding food for the fish every day and cleaning out any waste with each feeding. This will help keep your tank clean and prevent excess waste from building up.

Tips for Care & Maintenance

It is essential that you maintain the water quality of your tank. This will ensure that your fish are healthy and happy. The following steps can help you with maintaining the water quality in your PVC tarpaulin fish tank:

  • Clean the filter every week, preferably twice a week, depending on how often you feed your fish.
  • Change 10% of the water if it gets cloudy or smelly.
  • Add an air pump for oxygenation (make sure the tube goes into the water).
  • Don’t overfeed your fish. Feed them according to their body size and only give them as much food as they can eat in 5 minutes.
