Aquarium furniture refers to the various ornaments
and functional items in an
aquarium.
Ornamental aquarium furniture is often
kitsch: popular examples include ceramic mermaids, 'sunken'
ships and castles, and the ever-popular (but curiously
misplaced) "No Fishing" sign. Another strange piece of decor
is the ubiquitous plastic corals found often in freshwater tanks.
Examples of functional aquarium furniture would include
devices for removing
algae from the glass (either a razor or a scouring pad,
attached to the glass by a magnet),
airstones,
water filters, water heaters, and food dispensers.
Aquarium furniture may also refer to an item of (regular)
furniture that features an aquarium in its design. A stand
or cabinet that supports the aquarium may be considered
aquarium furniture. Also, many home reef aquariums canopies
containing metal halide lights. The canopies are often
constructed to the same standards as high quality cabinetry
