An aquarium is a container, typically made of glass or acrylic, that is used to house aquatic plants and animals. Aquariums can range in size from small desktop tanks to large installations that can hold thousands of gallons of water. They are often used for educational, research, and recreational purposes, and can be found in homes, businesses, and public attractions such as zoos and aquariums. Aquariums typically contain a variety of equipment and systems to maintain the health and well-being of the organisms inside, including filtration, lighting, heating, and aeration systems.
