A square vessel is a container with all parts of the same length. It is less popular than the classic rectangular version of the container, while it is more difficult in organizing its space.
The complexity of maintenance lies in the fact that the area for algae in it is less than in a rectangular one.
Considering that the space at the top remains empty, It is quite difficult to build an absolutely harmonious water world inside it on your own.

It is important not to overload the container with them, it is also important not to leave a lot of empty space. An aquarium overloaded with algae, especially a cubic one, will look untidy and unlikely to create the desired effect, and a small amount of algae will create the effect of a poor, unfinished decorative element.

In order to beautifully organize the space of the cube aquarium, it is best to choose algae of various heights:
- long plants will fill the void in the upper part of the square container and make a more harmonious transition from the bottom to the top;
- small plants will create the necessary effect to maintain the purity of the water and complete the overall appearance.

Design Tips
No matter how outwardly the aquarium looks, its main burden is its aesthetic function. Its design needs to be given a sufficient amount of attention and time.

The main secret of successful design is the correct location of large decorative elements.
They should be placed on the far side or at the corners of the vessel. If these are stones, then they can be landscaped with moss or supplemented with miniature plants. Stretching algae should be placed in the back or corner of the aquarium.

There is nothing wrong if some part of the algae floats in the water column, because it often looks harmonious and beautiful.
