Step by step
- Build the tank. Place aquarium barriers. You can adjust their size, orientation and height.
- Add a staff gate and connect it to your path network.
- Connect water filters and set the salinity: freshwater, saltwater or brackish. Saltwater species can't survive in freshwater.
- Set temperature and lighting from the aquarium's staff gate.
- Check water volume against each species' needs before you add the animals.
Guest viewing: tunnels and multilevel tanks
Add a guest gate to build underwater viewing tunnels. Aquariums can be multistory or underground, and viewing tunnels can run at different heights.
Maintenance
- The water-filter network keeps the water clean.
- Staff suit up and dive in to clean the glass from time to time.
- Some barrier types resist cracks better than others. Cracks can lead to leaks and require maintenance.
Troubleshooting checklist
| Problem | Check first |
|---|---|
| An animal's welfare is low | Species needs in the game, salinity and temperature, and available water volume |
| Guests can't see clearly | Water cleanliness and glass cleaning |
| Staff can't reach the tank | The staff gate and its path connection |
| Two species in one tank are fighting or unhappy | Their cohabitation information in the game |
