A large aquarium is always better than small, as small aquarium requires blshego care owner and brings a lot of anxiety.
There is a pattern that the lower tank, the poorer the appearance and growth of the fish. Many species of fish, particularly ikromechuschie, if they contain them in small aquariums cease to multiply. Moreover, in a small aquarium may be sudden changes in temperature and chemical composition of water, which does not occur in natural waters. The greater the capacity of the tank, the more stable it is preserved biological balance, and therefore it is easier to maintain. Even without a heater, the temperature of the water in that tank had not dramatically change its performance. In a small tank water temperature can only be for one day decreases and increases to several degrees, as is well known from the practice of wide fluctuations in temperature effect on fish, plants and to all biological processes in the aquarium are extremely unfavorable.

The concept of the aquarium is rooted in the mentality of the maritime power in the world, which consists of more water than land. The thread of the 17,000 Indonesian islands stretches more than 5,000 kilometers and forms the coastline of 81,000 kilometers, fringed by coral reefs, famous for its biological diversity. Aquarium “Sea World” is a window wide open, giving everyone an opportunity to see with their own eyes and learn more about the precious and fragile marine life in Indonesia.
The main objective of the aquarium is very simple – to expand the horizons of visitors, entertaining them or providing appropriate educational programs. This is the first offshore development in Indonesia, which uses entertainment and educational concept based on what people can simultaneously watch or participate in underwater adventures, and improve their understanding of living beings and nature that will eventually lead to an understanding of their enduring role for the Environment medium. The mission of the aquarium is in three components: education, recreation and the environment.
